Matt PiccoloNov 23, 2012 @ Alex, sadly I agree, I don't think I've ever seen one of these that hadn't either been riced or just not taken care of well.. Good to see there are still some left though :)

Jesse WilliamsNov 23, 2012 My dad had a brown Toyota Celica, which my mom wrecked later. LOL Although, I never met my dad due to him passing in a car accident before I was born. But, my mom said the Celica was a really nice car and was super fast.
Kyle RawnNov 23, 2012 Haha that was my dads first car too. Except he called the color poop brown.
Alex RenaudNov 23, 2012 I wanted one of these really bad in high school (circa 1990), but I couldn't afford one. So I settled for a 1977 Celica hatchback, and that thing rocked. It was factory banana yellow with a 5-speed manual gearbox.
Ryan KelseyFeb 10, 2013 I have an MKII Supra just like this, bought it recently. 1982 with only 35k miles on it. Such an amazing car

Chris BjorgolfssonNov 23, 2012 I think a Prius is faster than a 1980 Ford Mustang Cobra haha. I would love to see that race happen
Description: The debut of the Supra was really pretty badly timed. 1980 saw new emissions regulations for both the US and Japan. Such turbocharged monsters as the Saab 99 Turbo and the Porsche 930 weren't eve...Add Comments4
Evan DickinsonNov 23, 2012 Keep in mind that the FR-S/BRZ/GT86 is 700ish pounds lighter with two fewer cylinders and no turbo (yet). The Supra Turbo also launched in '87 selling for about $50,000 in todays money, compared to $30,000 for the GT86.
Justin RouthNov 23, 2012 Thats sad they had more power in 86 then in their new sports car
William DownsNov 23, 2012 It was, the Celica/supra was based off the Celica, but it was longer and has a different drive train both were around
Byakka HirakawaNov 23, 2012 Okay
Was the celica not its own model in 1970?
Pretty sure it was
Description: What a difference a few years make. The Supra would continue to evolve and in 1992 would make a big leap forward. The new JZ engine replaced the now-outdated M-series engine which had started life in ...Add Comments8

Nevzat ErboyNov 24, 2012 Even in Japanese market they had around 320, by law they had to advertise 276.
Evan DickinsonNov 23, 2012 The mrkIII Supra also had a twin turbo setup for the Japanese market.
Kyle RawnNov 23, 2012 Dangit Matt you beat me to it.

Justin RouthNov 23, 2012 Dont bash on the owner bash on carbuzz they probably just got the pic off google
Adam BeiersdorferNov 23, 2012 I would have thought the owner could have at least cleaned it out a little bit... At least took the auto parts magazine off the floor, removed the pack of cigs and taken the keys out since it has the silly tail on it...
Vince DeMasiNov 23, 2012 There is technically one the guy may have done an engine swap and the car tach might not read properly with the new engine so that is why the other is there and the red dot on top of the separate tach is a shift light
Alex RenaudNov 23, 2012 Showroom ready, this engine bay is. One could eat off this thing.

Adam BeiersdorferNov 23, 2012 Now now... It will still have 4 wheels and I bet they out a other high quality stereo in it... Course I'm guessing its going to be priced out of most buyers means...
William DownsNov 23, 2012 To bad the only thing the old and new will have in common will probaly be the name and the Toyota badge
