1984 TOYOTA CELICA SUPRA

MOTOR TREND CAR OF THE YEAR!!

I purchased this car in 2008. When it is not being driven, it spends 100% of its time indoors and covered. It is the very definition of a garage queen!

I am the second owner of this classic automobile. The first owner, a gentleman reaching retirement age, actually interviewed potential buyers to be sure his baby was going to a good home. I have kept in touch with him all these years, and he is always telling me he made the right choice when he sold it to me.

Highlights from 2007 before I owned the car:

Engine overhauled with new piston rings, crankshaft, all new bearings, and the valves were reseated.
New oil pump, clutch, timing belt, new universal joints for the drive shaft.
Tires rated for 60,000 miles (still have less than 10,000 miles of usage!)
The interior is all original cloth, and is meticulously clean.
Complete repainting
The skirt trim is a special coating with a flexible chip-absorbing coat.
New radiator

As you can see, when I bought the car it was already in great shape. My contributions seem small by comparison, but here are some of the things I've done:

realigned the hood
replaced the hood emblem
replaced the leather boot and the shift stick
reupholstered the center arm rest
replaced the seat trim
replaced the antenna
replaced the fog lights
valve covers professionally restored with wrinkle coat
replaced whiskers around the headlights
dyed sun faded rear head rests

I have had an absolutely wonderful time with this car. No car will ever be perfect, but this is pretty close for a 30 year old car, and it sure has been fun trying reach perfection. I've been lucky enough to have spent time with this car, which needed nothing more than a few cosmetic improvements. I've driven it like a true collector car. You know... sunny days on weekends kind of stuff. In fact, I've averaged under 750 miles per year. But they have been really fun miles!

You'll see the car has earned "HISTORIC" plates from the State of New Jersey.

Known issues:

The ONE non-oem concession... an aftermarket oil pressure gage.
The speedometer reads about 10% higher than actual speed.
The black metal trim around the rear hatch window could use some touch-up
Belt molding on side window (the small window behind the door) is chipped.

Ever owned a collector car? I was very surprised to find out that my insurance was just $125 per year for some pretty decent coverage. I couldn't say what your rates would be, but if you treat it like a collector car you should go to a collector's insurance company. Second, I was pleasantly surprised to find a very helpful owner's group for these MK2 Supras. I have been able to ask questions, search for answers, find hard-to-find parts, and even attend meets to see what others are doing with their Supras. I highly recommend this community!

Here’s a chance to own a very solid and historic collector car. Please check my feedback, which is at 100%, and bid with confidence. In fact, check my feedback since I joined eBay 17 years ago, and that too is at 100%.

As this car is also available for sale locally, I reserve the right to end this auction early. Please don’t wait until the last minute and then lose out!

Local pickup only. If you want to make arrangements to have a shipper pick up the vehicle, that certainly is okay. Good, cleared funds paid in full required before the vehicle is released.

Title is in hand, free and clear. All costs of transfer, taxes, etc., are the buyer's responsibility.

Weekly Recap: Hyundai scores NFL sponsorship after GM exits

Sat, Jul 4 2015

Hyundai replaced General Motors as the official automotive sponsor of the NFL with a four-season deal that was announced this week. Hyundai gets exclusive sponsorship rights for mainstream and luxury cars, though not for pickups – as it doesn't have one in its current portfolio. "There may be another automotive truck sponsor, but not one that competes with our vehicle lineup," a Hyundai spokesman said in an email. That leaves the door open for another truckmaker to enter the fray. GM used the NFL to promote its GMC division, which makes pickups and sport-utility vehicles. The Detroit automaker decided to quit the sponsorship, which it had held since 2001, a GM spokesman said. Financials were not released, but ESPN said the sponsorship will cost Hyundai $50 million a year, double what GM paid. It gives Hyundai access to NFL trademarks for use in its marketing and advertising, and Hyundai will provide promotional vehicles to the league for the Super Bowl and other events. Hyundai celebrated the agreement by lighting up its Fountain Valley, CA, headquarters this week with a football field and the NFL logo. Hyundai's sister company, Kia, is the official automotive sponsor of the NBA. "We are huge football fans at Hyundai and feel there is no better venue to reach consumers, increase consideration, and tell the Hyundai brand story," Hyundai Motor America CEO Dave Zuchowski said in a statement. Hyundai will officially kick off its sponsorship when the NFL season begins on Sept. 10 with a primetime game featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots. OTHER NEWS & NOTES Toyota Mirai rated at 67 mpge, 312-mile range The Environmental Protection Agency gave the Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell electric car a 67-miles-per-gallon-equivalent rating. The figure is for city, highway, and combined driving. The EPA also said the Mirai will have a 312-mile range. The sedan will arrive in dealerships in California this fall and will cost $57,500, though incentives can drop the price significantly. The Mirai will also be offered as a $499-per-month lease. Both come with three years or $15,000 worth of free fuel. Toyota plans to expand sales to the Northeast United States later. Toyota's top female exec resigns in wake of arrest Meanwhile, in other Toyota news, the automaker's communications chief and top female executive, Julie Hamp, resigned.

2014 Toyota 4Runner

Fri, 02 Aug 2013

I recently took the redesigned 2014 Toyota 4Runner for a muddy romp in Pennsylvania. While the mechanical bits and pieces beneath the body-on-frame SUV trudge forward into the new model year with very few tweaks, the truck "receives a rugged new exterior design and interior refinements that add comfort and convenience without sacrificing its hallmark performance capability and excellent value," says the automaker.
A quick visual scan of the 4Runner reveals a new front end with a more "aggressive" and "muscular" appearance (yes, I'm quoting Toyota) that includes new headlights, grille and hood scoop. A roof rack is now standard across all trims, too. While SR5 and Trail grades have a bland color-keyed grille insert that gives the face a monochromatic appearance, the range-topping Limited (shown above and in our gallery) snarls with a silver-plated chin that gives it a bit more character.
New soft-touch surfaces within the cabin provide a more upscale environment and a bright new Optitron instrument panel improves readability and functionality. As before, the SR5 and Trail models arrive with fabric upholstery or optional Softex seats (synthetic leather). Genuine hides are reserved for the Limited trim, which is also fitted with Toyota's unique X-REAS (X-Relative Absorber System) automatic suspension system as standard equipment.
