Have you ever wondered how Toyota came up with the name "Celica" for one of their iconic sports cars? If you're curious, we've got the story behind it. The name was inspired by the Latin word *coelica*, meaning "celestial." It's a fitting name for a car that became a household favorite thanks to its reliability, performance, and versatility. But this 2000 Celica isn't just any Celica — it's been transformed into something truly out of this world.
Check out this incredible eBay find from user billtek, who had his Celica completely reimagined by the renowned DTM Autobody. From the moment you lay eyes on it, it’s clear this car has come a long way since it rolled off the dealership lot. Here’s what it originally looked like:

Now, compare that to the modified version. DTM Autobody went all in with a custom gunmetal wide body, carbon fiber hood, roof, and trunk. They also lowered the front and rear suspension, added JDM-style headlights, high-performance tires, custom rims, and DPE wheels. The final touch? A custom dual exhaust system with a bold, aggressive look.
Inside, the transformation is just as impressive. The seller installed Bride bucket seats, a Momo steering wheel, and a manual stick shift knob. There's even a custom stereo in the back, giving the interior a sporty yet refined feel. However, the original 1.8L engine and transmission remain untouched — though the seller suggests upgrading to a Toyota Supra Twin Turbo engine for more power.
Despite its unique modifications, the car didn’t sell in its recent eBay auction, so there's still a chance to own this one-of-a-kind 2000 Celica for around $10,000. Whether you're a car enthusiast or just love a good transformation story, this Celica is definitely worth a closer look.
