Up for sale is my very original and beautiful 1983 Toyota Celica Supra P (performance) Type. It is getting very difficult to find an original paint, unaltered and unmolested car of any kind anymore and especially this generation of sporty cars from Japan. Most of them have either rusted away or were rode hard and put up wet, or worse yet now seeing duty as drifter cars. This car is wearing it's original coat of Terra Cotta paint and is completely rust free. Some of you ebay aficionados may recall seeing this car here on ebay a few months ago. Without boring you with a bunch of useless nostalgia dribble I would like to tell you why this car is in my possession. As a fifty something year old who has always had an interest in things with 4 wheels I have been restoring, collecting and occasionally buying and reselling classic and unique cars for a number of years now. My primary interest has been in Pony Cars of the sixties and seventies. In December of 1981 I purchased a brand new and just introduced 1982 Supra P type exactly like the one you see here. The Supra had won Motor Trend's Import Car of the Year award for 1982 and all of the car magazines were raving on about the car. Each of them featured a Terra Cotta P type Supra on their covers so when I saw one show up on the showroom of my local Toyota dealer I had to have it. Approximately one month after I purchased the car the car was totaled when I was struck by a drunk driver. As a young newly married man with a new job and a new baby I was pressured not to replace the car with another sports car so I bought a Cressida instead. Loved the Cressida but always had a soft spot in my heart for my "first sports car" so when I saw this car on ebay I had to have it. I have enjoyed driving the car the last couple of months getting plenty of thumbs up and "what is that?" questions but I got my needed dose of nostalgia. I would love to keep the car but I have come to the realization I don't have space for the car at this time. I am out of garage space at the house and a have a wife who is going to kill me if I don't free up a space for her driver. I am currently keeping the car at a storage facility about a mile from my house. As far as this car goes here is what I can tell you. As you have probably figured out, I am not the original owner. The car was originally purchased by a gentleman in Cuddebacville NY on March 30, 1983 from Toyota City Inc. in Mamaroneck NY. He is the only titled owner. I have the original title that was signed over by him in April of 2012. I have not reassigned the title and is still open. If you purchase the car you will be the second registered owner. Apparently he was fanatic about this car as it was stored in an environmentally controlled garage it's entire life and never driven in bad weather. It has 61K miles showing and I am absolutely positive this is original per the condition of the car. The car was undercoated and Ziebarted when purchased. There is no evidence the car has ever been an any collision and is wearing 100% of it's original paint which looks beautiful. The interior is also showing very little wear with the exception of the console lid. The original floor mats are with the car and pictured here. Even the drivers floor mat is still nice. The car runs like a Swiss watch and drives out fine. I am still amaze at the build quality of Asian cars especially Toyotas of this era. The car is as tight as it was new with no squeaks or rattles. The A/C is currently not working but all the components are there including the belt. I haven't had time to put gauges on it to check for leaks but I would bet that it would blow cold with a charge of R12. All power accessories work fine including the sunroof. Only two other things that will need attention in the future is the gas gauge and the clutch. It goes into gear fine and shifts fine but it is obvious to me that the clutch is nearing the end of its life(normal wear) I have the original window sticker for the car ( $ 16,523) and original dealer brochures. I have owned all generations of the Supra with the exception of the first one is still my favorite. While this car is not perfect it is wouldn't take much to make it one. I have priced the car with a fair Buy it Now price with a reserve that is lower and also very fair for a car of this caliber. If there is something not covered in the description or not represented by the pictures, please feel free to contact me by sending a message through ebay. I will respond promptly. Good luck and happy bidding! |

Lexus LX to get diesel engine?
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Australian consumers appear poised to get another diesel-burning luxury SUV in the near future, and word is it's coming from Lexus, of all automakers. Sean Hanley, chief executive of the company's branch in Oz, recently told Aussie website Drive that he's "pretty confident" that the new engine for the LX is getting the green light.
Like in the US, the LX in Australia is currently only offered with a 5.7-liter, gasoline-burning V8. However, sales of the big SUV are presently minuscule Down Under, with Drive reporting just 153 LX570s sold in all of Oz last year. Hanley is negotiating with Japan to get the new diesel in hopes of boosting flagging sales. If his efforts are successful, it would be the first diesel engine offered in a Lexus there. Hanley didn't specify exactly which mill the SUV would get. However, given the LX's close relationship with Toyota Land Cruiser, the diesel 4.5-liter twin-turbo V8 already available in the Toyota in markets outside of North America seems like a natural choice.
Don't expect the variant to be hopping across the Pacific, though. Lexus spokesperson Allison Takahashi tells Autoblog she has heard "nothing" about an oil-burning LX coming to the US. That's not a huge surprise, though, because neither Toyota nor Lexus offer any diesels in their lineups today. Also, Lexus has only sold 1,981 LX570s through June, which only placed it ahead of the LFA supercar in the brand's sales. It's probably just not worth certifying the engine for such a low-volume model.
Toyota to enter modern turbo four-cylinder era with Lexus crossover
Tue, 25 Jun 2013Toyota has sat quietly on the sidelines as many of its competitors have armed themselves in recent years with lower-displacement turbocharged four-cylinder engines in an effort to gain better fuel efficiency numbers and flatter power curves. It's a strategy largely shared by fellow countryman Honda, who turned away from offering forced-induction four-cylinder models in North America after its first-generation Acura RDX failed to find buyers. Toyota itself has no lack of experience with turbo fours, having built some humdingers for cars like the MR2 and Celica All-Trac back in the 80s and 90s. It's also offered factory-warranted turbos through its TRD performance parts division more recently.
Now, Automotive News is reporting that the world's largest automaker is finally poised to rejoin the turbo-four production-car fray in North America, but it won't be a sports car that delivers the first force-fed punch, it will be a new small crossover model for Lexus. We first showed you spy shots of the NX last week in mule form, and Automotive News says the small softroader will carry a 2.0-liter turbo four in its engine bay when it rolls on to world markets in 2014 or early 2015. That model, the NX 200t, will be joined by the NX 300h, a hybrid variant. It isn't immediately clear when US buyers will see the turbo model, however, it's possible that the hybrid could bow first - the story quotes an anonymous company source suggesting that Americans might not see the engine offering until sometime in 2015.
AN further posits that the new 2.0-liter will likely supplant the company's 2.5-liter V6 in the IS sedan and the same-displacement four-cylinder in the Toyota RAV4, but does not indicate where the new engine will be built.
Toyota recalling 342k Tacomas due to faulty seatbelt pretensioners
Wed, 07 Aug 2013Toyota is voluntarily recalling 342,000 Tacoma Access Cab pickups, produced between 2004 and 2011. The wide-ranging recall is due to faults in the screws that attach the belt pre-tensioner to the belt retractor. There are concerns that the screws can loosen themselves over time, especially if the access door is opened and closed with too much force. It's important to note that the recall only covers the driver and front passenger seat, and is limited to just the Access Cab trucks. Other body styles aren't affected.
If the screws come loose, the pre-tensioner and retractor spring could separate from the belt entirely, which would be bad news in a crash. There's no mention of injuries or accidents due to the faulty pre-tensioners. Owners affected by the recall will be notified soon, and asked to come in for recall service.
