1987 Toyota Supra Turbo Thanks for checking out my Rare, 1987 Toyota Supra Turbo. These cars are very hard to find in this condition, extremely low original miles, 60,280 - original paint, original interior (very few built with factory leather), a true survivor, 230hp Twin Cam Intercooled Turbo, 5spd, Rear Wheel Drive, TEMS, with full independent suspension. The original owner, was in the US Navy, and he had it for 5 years. He loved this car, he purchased Toyota Supra Seat covers and Supra car cover at dealer, which are included with the sale, rear louvers. He also had Toyota install a HKS Turbo Timer. This car also is unique because it is a coupe, non targa, the coupes are very desirable hard to find, because they were stiffer, and much better for really getting out and driving, targa's had a lot of body flex. His best friend said, if you ever sell that Supra, I want to own it. In 1992 he decided to sell it with around 40K on it and handed his friend the keys. The second owner used the car sparingly, he did drive it, he did enjoy it, it is not a trailer queen, but it is a very nice example of one of these cars. He passed away a few years ago, this car was his pride and joy, really this was his trophy on the mantel. I was very fortunate to have this Supra parked in my garage. This car runs and drives excellent, super low miles, factory 5 spd, Independent Suspension with factory TEMS tuned suspension option, factory AC - BLOWS ICE COLD, this is truly an amazing car. Little History on the Toyota M Engine and Supra lineage. This the first year that Toyota put the Turbo on the M Series engine, very sought after. Configurations of the M series engine, date back all the way to 1965. Toyota's first really special world class super car, was the 1967-70 Toyota 2000GT, which was a very powerful straight 6 engine, called the 2M. The prototype car started in 1965. Carroll Shelby actually built 2- 1968 2000GT's for SCCA racing. They only built 351 one of these 2000GT's. The Toyota Supra, is a direct continuation of these cars. The original Supra, was built off the Celica Mark 1. In 1986, Toyota changed the name to Supra, and the 7M-GE 3.0 engine arrived at this time. For 1987, Toyota decided to do something very special to these cars, this Option was long awaited for, the 7M-GTE Turbo. They wanted to compete with some of the legends of the 80's like the Corvette, Porsche, RX7 Turbo, Mustang GT/Saleen. These cars are very special, very hard to find. They put out 230HP, 30 more HP then the base 3.0 engine 7M-GE. I grew up falling in love with cars in the 80's when I was in high school, one of my best friends mom, traded in her 86 Supra, for the new 87 Supra Turbo, when I saw it at their house the day after they brought it home, I was just in awe, what a beautiful car, and the test ride, can't believe they let me rid in the passenger seat, it was a 16 year old dream, what an amazing car. I obviously buy and sell classics for a living, but I buy and my memories, the cars I wish I could have back in the day, and this is one of those cars. I have been selling classic cars here on eBay since 2003, 12 years now, with around 500 classic cars sold over the internet, with 100% Feedback. What I love about these old cars, is that I get to own some of my favorite cars one at a time, I have turned this passion into a business, but for me it is an awesome time to enjoy the cars themselves. It has been such a joy to do business with people all over the world. I have sold multiple cars to many buyers all over from Europe, Dubai, Australia, Japan, Brazil, just to name a few. It has always been a pleasure, getting to know other car enthusiast all over the Continent, especially some that have become very good friends of mine because of our love for cars. I look forward to doing business here on ebay for many years to come, and look forward to meeting some other like minded classic car nuts like myself. If you would like to call me and talk about the car, that would be great, would love to help you out, if you want to call and talk about cars, it would be my pleasure, I am on the hunt for any Interesting classics, please give me a call, 503-910-2085 - Jason. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and which everyone a Happy New Year, were 8 days in, and enjoying 2015 already!!!! CONDITION This car is in amazing condition, it still has all of its original paint, and it looks very nice. It is called Dark Blue Pearl, very nice color on a car like this. The paint is original, in very nice condition for being over 28 years old. There are no dings on the car, very straight, all the panels obviously line up perfectly. Absolutely no accidents. As you look through the pictures you will see all the VIN tags on the doors, hood, rear hatch etc. There are some minor rock chips on the hood, and front bumper cover. There are small rock chips along the rockers, very common, because they flare out a little bit. The flares at the bottom of the rear quarters, have suffered the worse, but since the car is dark, you don't notice it to much unless you look close, but there are a lot of rock chips on those to panels. I guess if one wanted to, they do come off, and you could have them repainted. The car is original, so personally I would want to keep it original as much as I could. There are a couple spots were a larger rock chips have been touched up. There was one larger chip on the drivers quarter panel that has been touched up, the size of an erasure head. There is another smaller on on the passenger side that is hard to get in a picture. Overall, very clean car, absolutely NO RUST, really amazing, but shows some minor road wear, but that said the car is 28 years old, and probably one of the best original Turbo's around. The undercarriage of the car is amazing. Factory undercoating is in nice shape, no rust issues. I cleaned off a few components underneath, and the paint on them are excellent, you can see there is no corrosion, you will see some pictures were I did this. If someone spent a weekend cleaning underneath the car, getting dust and road wear off, it was be more amazing then it already is. Overall, the exterior condition of the car is in great shape for its age, it has been driven and enjoyed, and has normal, wear and tear, but looks very nice, and is in amazing condition for its age. The interior is amazing on this car. The seats are near perfect, they have had very nice seat covers on them since day one, that were bought at Toyota. The seats are factory leather, very few got this rare option. The rear seat has never been sat in, they are perfect like the front seats. The dash pad, is excellent no cracks. There are a couple little spots of discoloration, it had a dash pad on it, to protect it, which it did a very good job, you get this as well, but were the glue was for the velcro, it left a tiny discoloration, not bad, you have to look close. The shift handle has a little wear on it, but original leather. Inside, look at the pictures, the interior is near mint, especially for original leather, no cracks, just amazing. You will notice this car is not a Targa model, very few were made as hardtops like this car. The Targa models, were not that popular, especially when it came to racing, to much body flex, the coupes are very hard to find these days and very desirable, with folks who like to autocross, and vintage race. All the gauges work, in very good condition. The radio, wipers, heater are all working good, all the interior and exterior lights work. The Odometer works and speedometer, the miles are 60,080. All the glass is original, windshield has no chips or cracks, they have all the Toyota stamps. At the dealer, they hand etched all the glass with the serial number, back then they would sell this service at dealerships, for anti-theft. That was back before they started acid etching a number. The Air Conditioning, is working and blows ICE COLD!!!!!! The drivetrain and components are in great shape. 7M-GTE 3.0 engine runs awesome, lots of power. The engine starts right up, and runs perfect, very smooth. Nothing touched under the hood, all original, all original components, nothing has been changed. Engine is very clean, and looks great for a car that has been driven, and cared for. The Turbo works great, it kicks in around 3500rpm, and will raise all the way to 8 psi boost. The engine is very healthy and just runs like a top. The original owner, had Toyota install HKS Turbo Timer, which is really important, only modification done back in the day, and very popular, to keep the intercooled turbo nice an cool after you shut the car off. The transmission is a 5 spd manual, which was only an option in the Turbo cars. It shifts great, no noise, clutch feels great, this car feels very good, tight suspension, very quick. These cars were also built with a fully independent suspension, which makes it handle suburb. This car also has the TEMS tuned suspension, which is wonderful. The brakes work great, 4 wheel disc brakes make the car stop on a dime. The factory 16" wheels, are in excellent shape, wrapped in Toyo Proxes Z1, 225/50ZR16. This car mechanically is in great shape, drive it anywhere, very quick, just a dream to drive. If you want a great driving Sports Car this is it. If you have any other questions about this Toyota Supra, please give me call would love to tell you more about it, if interested in a buy it now, let me know.

Jim Lentz exposes more details behind Toyota's move to Texas

Fri, 02 May 2014

Toyota's North American CEO Jim Lentz has already given us a rough idea of what prompted the company's surprise move to the Dallas suburb of Plano, TX from its longstanding headquarters in Torrance, CA. A new story from The Los Angeles Times, though, delivers even more detail from Lentz on the reasoning for the move, what other cities were considered and why the company's current host city wasn't even in the running.
Of course, one of the more popular reasons being bandied about includes the $40 million Texas was set to give the company for the move, as well as the state's generous tax rates. According to Lentz, though, the reason Toyota chose Plano over a group of finalists made up of Atlanta, Charlotte and Denver, was far simpler than that - it was about consolidating its marketing, sales, engineering and production teams in a region that's closer to the company's seat of manufacturing in the south.
"It doesn't make sense to have oversight of manufacturing 2,000 miles away from where the cars were made," Lentz told The Times. "Geography is the reason not to have our headquarters in California."

Toyota, Ford and Honda again top Consumer Reports Car-Brand Perception Survey

Fri, 01 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has released its annual Car-Brand Perception Survey, and the list looks awfully familiar. The top six brands are identical to last year's results, with Toyota, Ford and Honda continuing to occupy the podium. All told, Toyota walked away with 133 points, putting it 15 ahead of second-place Ford. Honda jumped 26 points this year, narrowing Ford's lead to just four points in total.
Consumer Reports polls buyers from across the country on how they see multiple brands in seven categories, including quality, safety, value, performance, design/style, technology/innovation and environmentally friendly/green. Researchers then combine the findings to come up with the total brand score.
While value and performance remain important to buyers, CR found quality and safety are still on top when it comes to significance. Scion and Mitsubishi found themselves at the bottom of the pack with the worst score of all, tied at just six points. Ram, Fiat and Mini filled out the lowest five with scores of seven, eight and 10 points, respectively. You can read the full press release below for more information, or head over to the Consumer Reports site.

Toyota vows to fix poor Camry crash test result that irked Consumer Reports

Tue, 10 Dec 2013

Many Toyota vehicles haven't been performing well in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) small overlap frontal crash test, and the Camry is one of them. The 2012 and 2013 Camry both received "Poor" ratings, IIHS' lowest rating, in the test, which spurred Consumer Reports to take the car off its "Recommended" list. In response to the low ratings in the small overlap frontal test, and in a bid to maintain its best-seller status, Toyota will make changes to the Camry to improve its IIHS safety rating and to enhance its design, The Detroit News reports.
The Camry performed well in the moderate overlap frontal, side, roof strength and head restraints and seats crash tests, receiving "Good" ratings, IIHS' highest rating, in all four tests. That was enough for IIHS to award it a Top Safety Pick rating, just not TSP+.
Bill Fay, head of Toyota's US division, reportedly says, "It's still a five-star car. It still does very well in all the IIHS tests. It did not in [the small overlap frontal crash test], and we're busy making the necessary adjustments so that we can address that."
