             * 1986 TOYOTA Celica SUPRA "P" *

                                 (Last Year MK II)

 

Before you and up for bid is my 1986 TOYOTA SUPRA "P" (performance) sport model hatchback.  These cars are of significance in automotive history.  The particulars of the Supra are as follows:

*  One adult owner, purchased new from Alamo Toyota in San Antonio,Texas.  Owned & driven for 27 years in Austin,Texas, then stored and occasionally driven in Colorado, these past 2 years.

*  Low mileage for the year, only 172,118 actual miles.

*  CARFAX certified NO ACCIDENT history, ownership & miles.

*  A SOLID Texas car, guaranteed to be ZERO RUST.  When considering the purchase of one of these Supra's, the most important aspect for one to look for is RUST.  By virtue of inherent "drainage design" issues, these cars were notorious for rust in specific areas.  Observe the pictures of the quarter panels, rockers, spare tire compartment, under the doors, and the rear hatch lip, the car is rust free.

*  A garaged & pampered, non-smoker, no pets, food or beverages.

*  All original, it has never been in any accidents, nor has it has been restored. Overall, the car is in very good condition.  The paint is original, and therefore after 27 years of Texas sun, thin on the hood and roof.  It also has some clouding along the sides.

*  The interior has been very well preserved.  I would rate it a 9 out of 10.

*  Black over black/gray interior, this is considered to be the best color combination.

*  Inline Twin Cam 6 cylinder engine, produced 161 horsepower in this last year. (160 in 1985) Factory stock, never modified or abused.

*  These MK II Supra's, as they are known, were manufactured between 1982-1986.  Fully imported from Japan.

When considering one for purchase, the choice is personal as to whether a first  or last year is better.  In the case of 1986 Supra's, ALL 1986 models were leftover 1985 models titled as 1986 models.  Toyota's delay of the introduction of the MK IIl Supra is this cars reason for being.  There are clearly not many true (titled) 1986 models.  They are therefore, quite rare.  Production date code of August, 1985.

To distinguish a 1986 from a 1985 model, one need only look to the rear of the car.  For in 1986, the government saw to the arrival of the mandated third brake light.  It is mounted beneath the rear deck spoiler.  Once the 1986 model arrived during mid year, it was the redesigned MK lll, and indeed those cars were titled as 1986.5 vehicles.

*  5- Speed manual transmission, shifts fine through all gears as well as into reverse.  The clutch is fine.

*  Full power, windows, mirrors and locks, they all operate properly.

*  Cruise Control

*  Factory Power Sunroof, fully operational forward and back, no leaks.

*  Toyota factory AM/FM/Cassette w/graphic equalizer, it still plays fine.

*  Power antenna, works properly

*  Very good carpets throughout

*  Good headliner, no sags or tears

*  Near perfect dash, there are two small splits at the windshield, they are very narrow and only run a couple of inches each, (see pic) no warping.  "Dash Mat" protective cover.

*  The front seats are in good condition, they slide properly, are supportive, and show little wear, the drivers side support bladder's and inflation hand pump operate properly.

*  The rear seat was generally folded down and saw minimal use, it is in great shape.

*  Leather wrapped steering wheel w/tilt feature, showing only slight wear at the bottom position. 

*  Factory AC, presently it is not blowing cold, it has not been retrofitted.

*  Excellent heat, defrost, ventilation, etc.

*  All buttons, switches and control knobs are present, there is nothing broken or missing.

*  Excellent Supra factory aluminum alloy wheels, they do not have any curb rash.

*  Full size original spare alloy, in new condition, as it has not been used, the original Dunlop tire is present along with the original jack and tire tool.

* BFG T/A radials (4) these were purchased at the same time, they have approximately 50% tread wear remaining.

*  Original owners manual, service records, supplemental operational pamphlets and keys are included.

*  All original Toyota glass, no windshield cracks or chips

*  All gaskets and weather stripping are soft & pliable

*  Nice door panels, the drivers side arm rest has two small nicks

*  Nice rear panels

*  Nice console, the armrest storage lid has been reupholstered, the courtesy remote map light Toyota built into the console is still present.

*  Emergency brake works great

*  The interior panels rear panels were removed to detail the car, are all in excellent condition, no broken tabs anywhere.

*  The rear hatch carpet is in excellent shape, no fraying, tears or fading.

*  Hatch and hood strut cartridges operate properly

*  Rear hatch retractable cargo shade is present and in good shape

*  Other than the aged paint, at 29 years of age, the car still looks good and drives great, it goes down the road effortlessly at 75, and stops assuredly.  It is still a very tight car. 

*  The car runs strong, cylinder compression is between 148-155, mechanically, it is very sound, there are NO annoying drips or leaks.

I removed the seats, console and rear panels to thoroughly clean the carpeting.  I also photo documented the interior with the aforementioned parts removed, so as to illustrate that the car is indeed RUST FREE!

Recent service included new NGK plugs and wires, fresh fluids, (oil and coolant)and filters.  The belts and hoses are recent, there are also extra Toyota belts that will be included.

*  All safety features, horn, lights, directionals, emergency flashers, wipers, etc., are fully operational

*  Both headlights operate properly in unison.

*  This car has so much potential, firstly, because it is rust free, secondly, because it has never been wrecked.  It would be easy to take it down to metal, put a quality paint job on it, then drive and enjoy it.  An inexpensive and iconic classic sports car, it receives comments most everywhere it goes.  

It is also a great candidate for an ITS racer or drift car.  These cars are becoming increasingly rarer in this condition, being rear wheel drive, many were converted for racing purposes. 

As with most Toyota's, these cars are known for their excellent drivability and reliability.

I am not a dealer, I am a collector/hobbyist.  My plan was to restore the Supra, however, I recently underwent shoulder surgery which affected my timeline.  In turn, another project is ready to be undertaken which requires the space presently occupied by the Supra.

I strive to thoroughly and accurately represent the condition of a vehicle.  Those that have purchased my cars are consistantly pleased with their vehicle, their expectations exceeded.  Continued 100% eBay customer satisfaction is of importance to me.

Thanks for looking and good luck when you bid!

Japan plans real-world diesel emissions test after companies fail

Fri, Mar 4 2016

Japan's transport ministry plans to start real-world diesel emissions tests after an experiment found four models from Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi that produced more nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions than the nation's rules allow, according to The Japan Times. Regulators there usually only perform emissions checks in the lab. The VW diesel scandal has everyone double-checking their figures. Diesel versions of the Toyota Hiace van, Land Cruiser Prado, and Nissan X-Trail produced up to 10 times more NOx than allowed. The Mitsubishi Delica D:5 was up to five times over the limit, The Wall Street Journal reports. There was no evidence of defeat devices in the vehicles. Mazda performed well in the experiment, though. The CX-5 passed with nearly the same results on the road and in the lab. The Demio, better known as the Mazda2, did nearly as well with only slighter higher figures in the real world than in the controlled setting. The experimenters theorized the reason for the excessive emissions was that cold weather caused the engines' software to shut off the exhaust gas recirculation to prevent damage, according to the WSJ. However, this behavior also increased NOx production. Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi don't have to worry about punishment from the transport ministry because this check was just an experiment. Their models already passed the mandated lab tests, which was the only requirement, according to The Japan Times. As governments begin greater real-world emissions tests, the results suggests diesels aren't very clean. A recent check in France found models from Ford, Renault, and Mercedes-Benz that didn't perform up to the standards. Regulators in India conducted similar evaluations and ordered VW to recall over 300,000 vehicles. Related Video:

Toyota, Suzuki partner on hybrids, EVs, building cars for each other

Wed, Mar 20 2019

NAGOYA, Japan — Toyota and Suzuki on Wednesday said they planned to produce electric vehicles and compact cars for each other to better compete with fast-changing technologies in the global auto industry. The agreement follows an initial R&D tie-up announced by Japan's No. 1 and No. 4 automakers in 2017, and will see more vehicles produced by Suzuki for Toyota, one of the world's biggest carmakers. Although Suzuki is far smaller, it is a dominant force in the fast-growing Indian market. The two automakers have been pooling their strengths. Toyota is a leader in hybrid technology and is investing heavily in automated driving, while Suzuki specializes in affordable compact cars — as many automakers struggle to keep pace with ballooning investment in EVs and self-driving cars. Under the latest agreement, Suzuki will source gasoline hybrid systems for cars it sells worldwide from Toyota, which pioneered hybrid vehicles with the Prius more than 20 years ago, the companies said in a joint statement. In return, Suzuki will produce two compact models for Toyota in India based on its Ciaz and Ertiga models. Further cooperation with Suzuki will help Toyota expand its presence in India, the world's fifth-largest passenger car market where it has struggled to grow sales due to lean demand for its lower-cost models. The deepening partnership between the two automakers will enable cost-conscious Suzuki to tap into Toyota's R&D firepower to develop lower-emission vehicles and self-driving cars — areas which Suzuki has admitted it is struggling to keep up. "We believe that the expansion of our business partnership with Suzuki ... will help give us the competitive edge we will need to survive this once-in-a-century period of profound transformation," Toyota President Akio Toyoda said in a statement. The two automakers will deepen their cooperation in India, where Suzuki's hybrid vehicles will be made using engines and batteries locally produced by Toyota. They will also join forces in Europe, where Toyota will produce electric vehicles based on its RAV4 SUV crossover and Corolla wagon for Suzuki, while Suzuki will supply Toyota with gasoline engines for compact vehicle models sold in the region. Suzuki will also produce its Baleno, Vitara Brezza, Ciaz, and Ertiga models for Toyota which will be rebranded and renamed as Toyota models for the African market.

Toyota maintains world's largest automaker crown, GM and VW close behind

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

Toyota still holds the title of World's Largest Automaker. The Japanese automaker ceded the claim to General Motors in 2011 following a series of natural and man-made disasters that stifled production in Asia. Production is back up to full speed and, coupled with the introduction of a new Camry midsize sedan, Toyota retook the title in 2012 and has so far been able to keep it by selling 2.43 million vehicles in the first quarter of 2013.
The race is still tight - General Motors reports sales of 2.36 million vehicles, earning it the second spot globally with Volkswagen's 2.27 million sales nabbing the German automaker third place. It's not all smooth sailing for Toyota, either, as the brand's first-quarter figures were down 2.2 percent when compared to last year. GM posted a 3.6-percent gain and VW managed a 5.1-percent gain over the same period.
Sales in China may be a deciding factor as to which automaker performs best in 2013. Toyota's figures were down 13 percent in China. Meanwhile, GM and VW are continuing their upward trajectories in the crucial Chinese market.
