My motor mounts are blown.
I've had to put a starter in it.
Had to rewire the turn signals.
This is the best damn car anyone could ever ask for. It reminds me a lot of an M-1A1 Abrams tank. It is absolutely unstoppable. The offroading capabilities are astounding. The steering is a dream. I'm thinking of just getting my hands on as many Celebrities as possible. You can get them for so cheap because people are too stupid to realize it's capabilities. Thus, I will capatalize upon their stupidity. Long live the Celebrity!
I have an '89 Wagon I may be selling, with the 2.8 Multi-Port engine. '89 is a good year for these b/c they quit making them in '90 or '91. Yeah I realize how capable the car is; it has been one of the best cars I've had. But I have a '79 Ford LTD with 39k actual miles and I need the $$ to rebuild the tranny in my Ford. My friend also had a Celeb and it went for nearly 10,000 miles without an oil change and it still ran great. These cars are amazing, seems they were built to take abuse. -minibkeracr@aol.com.
Bought mine new twenty years ago; only 900,000 mile car I have ever owned and she still gets thirty miles per gallon. If everybody had Celebs we wouldn't have this gas shortage.

I've got an 84 celebrity with 220,000 miles on it. I'm finally putting it to rest, as I just found an 86 celebrity with only 45,000 miles on it. These cars are definitely tanks. I drove mine through the worst conditions Michigan could throw at it. 12 inches of snow covering the entire freeway for 60 miles? No problem. I was the only person passing the plows and salt trucks.
