             * 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.

If you would like to present a "buy it now", call and present your offer.  DO NOT call and ask me, "what's the lowest that you'll take?"  (Be thinking in the $5-$6 range)

Buyers from the U.S., Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand are welcome and encouraged to bid with confidence.

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!

Weekly Recap: Ferrari, Ford and Porsche power up for Geneva

Sat, Feb 7 2015

Monday was Groundhog Day. Tuesday, apparently, was Sports Car Day. The Ferrari 488 GTB, the Ford Focus RS and the Porsche Cayman GT4 all debuted within hours of each other ahead of their rollouts at the Geneva Motor Show. Three sporty machines, three vastly different approaches – and a lot of implications for enthusiasts. That's a day worth repeating. It also illustrates the opportunities automakers see in the performance market, which is expected to grow in the coming years. Ford estimates the segment has expanded 14 percent in Europe and surged 70 percent in North America since 2009. The Detroit Auto Show was evidence of this, and performance cars of every stripe debuted, including the Acura NSX, Ford GT, Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and several others. This isn't a fad. Performance cars aren't going away. The question is why? Stricter CAFE standards are looming in the United States, as are tighter emissions regulations in Europe. And no one expects gas prices to remain low in America. None of this matters for sports cars, and automakers are increasingly using them to elevate their images. That's why Dodge rolled out two 707-horsepower Hellcats last year. It's why Ford has decided to resurrect the GT for road and track. It's why in the depths of bankruptcy, General Motors continued work on the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, not to mention the Z06. "Great brands are made one car at a time," Ford of Europe president Jim Farley said at the reveal of the Focus RS. Still, companies make those cars for different reasons. View 5 Photos Mainstream brands like Ford and Dodge want to build cars that get people talking, excite their bases and drive more potential customers into the showroom. They probably don't buy a Focus RS or a Hellcat, but suddenly the regular Focus hatch looks a bit hotter, and that V6 Charger seems to be just a touch more muscular. The halo of performance is alive and well in the eyes of automakers and their customers. "It's one of the most effective catalysts for ingenuity and innovation," said Joe Bakaj, vice president of product development for Ford of Europe. That also leads to a trickle-down effect. Some of the technologies inevitably make their way to other products. It's hard to think the new all-wheel-drive system in the Focus RS that distributes torque front to rear and side to side won't be used in other vehicles. It's different for Ferrari and Porsche.

Toyota mini doc chronicles Tundra towing Space Shuttle Endeavor

Thu, 21 Mar 2013

Toyota has worked up a quick video detailing the brand's involvement in the transportation of the Space Shuttle Endeavour last year. As you may recollect, the California Science Center ran into a hitch when it came to moving Endeavour from LAX to its new home. While most of the route would be covered by a robotically controlled transporter, one portion of the route directed the shuttle over an interstate. Unfortunately, the bridge across wasn't designed to stand up to the weight of the shuttle and its motorized sled.
The Science Center would have to remove Endeavour from its transporter and place it on a lighter, non-motorized sled. That's where longtime Science Center sponsor Toyota came in. As it turns out, the automaker had to prove to the California Science Center that a Tundra could actually tow the massive shuttle, so engineers put on a little demonstration with a stock truck pulling the equivalent weight over flat ground for the same distance. Once the Science Center was satisfied that the Tundra could pull it off, the move was green lit and the rest is history. Check out the short documentary below for yourself.

The next steps automakers could take after sales drop again in April

Tue, May 2 2017

DETROIT (Reuters) - Major automakers on Tuesday posted declines in U.S. new vehicle sales for April in a sign the long boom cycle that lifted the American auto industry to record sales last year is losing steam, sending carmaker stocks down. The drop in sales versus April 2016 came on the heels of a disappointing March, which automakers had shrugged off as just a bad month. But two straight weak months has heightened Wall Street worries the cyclical industry is on a downward swing after a nearly uninterrupted boom since the Great Recession's end in 2010. Auto sales were a drag on U.S. first-quarter gross domestic product, with the economy growing at an annual rate of just 0.7 percent according to an advance estimate published by the Commerce Department last Friday. Excluding the auto sector the GDP growth rate would have been 1.2 percent. Industry consultant Autodata put the industry's seasonally adjusted annualized rate of sales at 16.88 million units for April, below the average of 17.2 million units predicted by analysts polled by Reuters. General Motors Co shares fell 2.9 percent while Ford Motor Co slid 4.3 percent and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV's U.S.-traded shares tumbled 4.2 percent. The U.S. auto industry faces multiple challenges. Sales are slipping and vehicle inventory levels have risen even as carmakers have hiked discounts to lure customers. A flood of used vehicles from the boom cycle are increasingly competing with new cars. The question for automakers: How much and for how long to curtail production this summer, which will result in worker layoffs? To bring down stocks of unsold vehicles, the Detroit automakers need to cut production, and offer more discounts without creating "an incentives war," said Mark Wakefield, head of the North American automotive practice for AlixPartners in Southfield, Michigan. "We see multiple weeks (of production) being taken out on the car side," he said, "and some softness on the truck side." Rival automakers will be watching each other to see if one is cutting prices to gain market share from another, he said, instead of just clearing inventory. INVESTORS DIGEST BAD NEWS Just last week GM reported a record first-quarter profit, but that had almost zero impact on the automaker's stock. The iconic carmaker, whose own interest was once conflated with that of America's, has slipped behind luxury carmaker Tesla Inc in terms of valuation.
