1983 Toyota P Type Supra, Beautiful All Original 1 Owner Car With 61k Miles on 2040-cars

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!
