1984 TOYOTA CELICA SUPRA

MOTOR TREND CAR OF THE YEAR!!

I purchased this car in 2008. When it is not being driven, it spends 100% of its time indoors and covered. It is the very definition of a garage queen!

I am the second owner of this classic automobile. The first owner, a gentleman reaching retirement age, actually interviewed potential buyers to be sure his baby was going to a good home. I have kept in touch with him all these years, and he is always telling me he made the right choice when he sold it to me.

Highlights from 2007 before I owned the car:

Engine overhauled with new piston rings, crankshaft, all new bearings, and the valves were reseated.
New oil pump, clutch, timing belt, new universal joints for the drive shaft.
Tires rated for 60,000 miles (still have less than 10,000 miles of usage!)
The interior is all original cloth, and is meticulously clean.
Complete repainting
The skirt trim is a special coating with a flexible chip-absorbing coat.
New radiator

As you can see, when I bought the car it was already in great shape. My contributions seem small by comparison, but here are some of the things I've done:

realigned the hood
replaced the hood emblem
replaced the leather boot and the shift stick
reupholstered the center arm rest
replaced the seat trim
replaced the antenna
replaced the fog lights
valve covers professionally restored with wrinkle coat
replaced whiskers around the headlights
dyed sun faded rear head rests

I have had an absolutely wonderful time with this car. No car will ever be perfect, but this is pretty close for a 30 year old car, and it sure has been fun trying reach perfection. I've been lucky enough to have spent time with this car, which needed nothing more than a few cosmetic improvements. I've driven it like a true collector car. You know... sunny days on weekends kind of stuff. In fact, I've averaged under 750 miles per year. But they have been really fun miles!

You'll see the car has earned "HISTORIC" plates from the State of New Jersey.

Known issues:

The ONE non-oem concession... an aftermarket oil pressure gage.
The speedometer reads about 10% higher than actual speed.
The black metal trim around the rear hatch window could use some touch-up
Belt molding on side window (the small window behind the door) is chipped.

Ever owned a collector car? I was very surprised to find out that my insurance was just $125 per year for some pretty decent coverage. I couldn't say what your rates would be, but if you treat it like a collector car you should go to a collector's insurance company. Second, I was pleasantly surprised to find a very helpful owner's group for these MK2 Supras. I have been able to ask questions, search for answers, find hard-to-find parts, and even attend meets to see what others are doing with their Supras. I highly recommend this community!

Here’s a chance to own a very solid and historic collector car. Please check my feedback, which is at 100%, and bid with confidence. In fact, check my feedback since I joined eBay 17 years ago, and that too is at 100%.

As this car is also available for sale locally, I reserve the right to end this auction early. Please don’t wait until the last minute and then lose out!

Local pickup only. If you want to make arrangements to have a shipper pick up the vehicle, that certainly is okay. Good, cleared funds paid in full required before the vehicle is released.

Title is in hand, free and clear. All costs of transfer, taxes, etc., are the buyer's responsibility.

Toyota C-HR Concept is a high-riding hybrid hatch [w/video]

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

Despite having the tendency to offer decidedly bland production cars, Toyota occasionally surprises us with interesting concept cars. Such is the case with the C-HR concept making its debut at the Paris Motor Show this week. It's a concept showing forward-thinking design that hints at "a type of crossover vehicle Toyota would like to bring to market," according to the automaker's release, and it rides on an all-new platform and uses a hybrid powertrain.
About that powertrain: Toyota isn't revealing anything, just saying that it will - brace yourselves - "deliver significantly improved fuel efficiency" (over what, exactly?) The car also uses a brand-new architecture, though it hasn't really revealed any major details about that aspect, either.
It's a high-riding, muscular thing, with a rakish hatchback shape. Should it reach production, Toyota says it would take the shape of a C-segment crossover. It'd be cool to see something like this hit the road someday, but for now, we won't hold our breath.

Toyota GT86 gets TRD treatment in UK

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

As dearly as we love the Toyota GT86 / Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ franchise, we readily admit we wouldn't look sideways at a model with a bit more firepower. And while that's not quite on the table yet, Toyota has been busy amping up the visual firepower of its rear-drive coupe with a whole host of TRD parts. To this point, that's been a largely à la carte affair, but the automaker's UK outpost has just announced a special-edition model that allows our British friends to pick up the whole shooting match all in one go.
The Toyota GT86 TRD will only be available in black and white, and just 250 examples are to be built. As you can see from the excellent gallery above, the catalog of look-faster bits include a more aggressive front air dam, side skirts, rear bumper fascia, spoiler and unique 18-inch forged alloys. Additional flourishes include a TRD shift lever and branded radiator cap. The sole concession to actual performance? A "fast-response quad exhaust" that might only improve things audibly - 0-62 mph is apparently unchanged at 7.7 seconds, and the top end is still 140 mph for the manual transmission model. (The auto gets by with 8.4 seconds and 130 mph).
Pricing? Glad you asked. £31,495 for GT 86 TRD manual, £32,995 for the automatic - that's nearly $50,000 US for the tripedalist and just over for the automatic. (Those are heady prices, but bear in mind that UK MSRPs and taxes are generally significantly higher than their US counterparts). If the standard GT86 is more your speed, it still rings up at a more affordable £24,995 - roughly $39,500 - leaving plenty of budget for actual performance parts. No word yet on North American availability of a special TRD model, but we've got a call in...

Toyota issues multiple recalls for 6.4 million vehicles worldwide

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

It looks like 2014 may go down as the year of recalls. We were already at a record pace, and now it seems Toyota is recalling 6.39 million vehicles worldwide, including about 30 of its models for a variety of problems. None of the faults have caused any injuries or fatalities, but there have been two reports of fires caused by a defective engine starter motor.
Toyota's numbers show 1.772 million vehicles being recalled in the US, but that includes some overlap because the Yaris is being repaired for multiple faults. According to The Detroit News, there are 2.36 million affected models in all of north North America, 1.09 million in Japan and 810,000 in Europe, plus smaller numbers in other regions.
Among the vehicles recalled in the US are 1.3 million units of the 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris. The problem is that the driver's airbag module is attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on the cable can be damaged when the steering wheel is turned, which deactivates the airbag and causes the airbag warning light to come on. Toyota is replacing the cable with an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin the repair. The company is sending affected owners notifications in the mail. According to The Detroit News, an unspecified number of Pontiac Vibe vehicles are also included in this recall because it shares the part with the Matrix.
