Very Rare practically all original Gray Metallic 1992 Toyota Supra Turbo Targa with only 113k original miles.

This is a 5-speed manual transmission 3.0L Inline 6 Cylinder Turbo.

Only 1193 of the 1992s were produced, and only 1174 being in the United States. This car is very rare car being fully loaded while including the original window sticker as proof of the options.

Some of the rare options are a full leather interior package, and an extremely rare sub-woofer. In 1992 Toyota changed the leather interior packaged cars to a nice dark grey (almost black). The sub-woofer was also only offered in 1992.

The exterior of the car is in very good shape a solid 9/10. You will know this car has been garaged most of its life when you see it. The interior is in equally great shape.

The motor has recently had the head gasket replaced and fitted with ARP studs to once and for all end the head gasket issue that plagues these cars. *Please note that the gasket in this car was never blown prior to the new gasket* During the head gasket change a multitude of maintenance parts have been replaced like the water pump, plugs, ignition wires, all the gaskets from the head up including new turbo gaskets, thermostat, etc..The timing was done at 100,000 miles (13,000 miles ago). This motor runs very well and very strong, as well as the turbo. The drive-train is also in good shape.

The previous owner whom I bought the car from was a car dealer in Texas, he used the car as a personal car for a short period of time. During the time he owned it he changed out the gauge cluster bulbs to a red color. This can be reversed to the original color without much effort.

The car is on a rebuilt title. To the best of my knowledge Texas is very strict on branding titles, and will automatically brand it a rebuilt/salvage title just for going through an auction. The car has been in an accident many years ago, and the previous owner purchased it at an auction (I'm assuming a dealership only auction). So that hints to me why its a rebuilt title. Because the car drives amazing and straight you would honestly never know it was a rebuilt title, nor would anyone else who will ask you about it. This is a solid car and I wouldn't be asking what I'm asking for it if I didn't know how nice this car looks and drives.

I hate to sell it but its time to move on.

If you have any questions at all, please feel free to call or text Jacob @ 870-866-0319 I'm available between 10am-12pm MST.

Has the auto industry hit peak hybrid?

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Hybrids are known for their great fuel economy and low emissions, but it looks like given current market conditions, only about three percent of new car consumers are willing to pay the premium for them. A new study from IHS/Polk finds that the hybrid market share among overall US auto sales are falling, despite more models with the technology on sale than ever before.
The study examined new car registrations in March from 2009 through 2014. In that time, the auto industry grew from 24 to 47 hybrid models available to consumers, but market share for the powertrain remained almost stagnant in that time. As of 2009, hybrids held 2.4 percent of the market; it fell slightly to 2.3 percent in 2010 and grew to 3.3 percent in 2013. However, 2014 showed a drop back to 3 percent. Overall hybrid sales have been growing since 2010, but they just aren't keeping up with the total auto market.
According to IHS/Polk, this isn't what you would expect to see. Usually, each new model in the market brings along with it a boost in sales. The growth in hybrid models 2009 to 2014 should have shown a larger increase in share for the segment.

Recharge Wrap-up: Mazda, Subaru and Toyota PHEV, Nomadic Power grant

Sat, Jun 20 2015

The next generation of the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid looks to be important for Mazda and Subaru as well. Toyota will likely need to sell more of the new plug-in hybrid to meet stricter ZEV standards in California. That means it will get more extra electric range, as customers have been asking for. Subaru and Mazda will also have to adhere to the California standards beginning in 2018. Those two smaller automakers will likely license a plug-in hybrid powertrain from Toyota in order to fulfill compliance. Read more at Green Car Reports. Tesla is partnering with Dalhousie University to improve battery technology. Tesla signed a five-year research agreement with Dalhousie's Jeff Dahn, a lithium-ion battery researcher. Dahn and the 25 researchers in his lab will work with Tesla's Director of Battery Technology, Kurt Kelty, to increase capacity through improved materials. The collaboration could be important both for Tesla's automotive and stationary batteries. "Our research group's goal is to increase the energy density and lifetime of Li-ion batteries, so we can drive down costs in automotive and grid energy storage applications," says Dahn. Read more from Dalhousie University. Nomadic Power is receiving a European Commission grant worth ˆ2 million (about $2.26 million) for trailer-mounted mobile batteries. Nomadic Power's mobile batteries, called Nomads, have incorporated photovoltaic systems and can be used to extend the electric driving range of a plug-in vehicle, or to provide backup power to a home. The Nomads use an intelligent energy management system to learn and predict user behavior and manage the solar system based on weather forecasts. "We see a strong future in electric-powered mobility and an increasing use of renewable energy, photovoltaic power in particular," says Nomadic Power CEO Dr. Manfred Baumgaertner. "Our mobile batteries have great potential in these markets that recently got a significant shot in the arm by Tesla's announcements." Read more from Nomadic Power, and at Green Car Congress.
