1984 Toyota Celica Supra Mkii - P Type - Automatic - Florida Car on 2040-cars
Emmaus, Pennsylvania, United States
|
This is a 1984 Toyota Celica Supra Mark II. I've had it for 3 years, and it's been garage kept for it's entire life. The car was originally purchased in Florida, and then was moved to Connecticut and finally Pennsylvania. It has never been driven on snow covered roads or exposed to salt. There is very slight rust on the underside of the hatch, not visible from outside of the car. It has a 3 year old paint job which is passable, but not concours quality. The suspension and braking systems have been upgraded with all new components as well as wheels and tires. The suspension was designed by Lotus, and the front and rear brakes are identical to the Lotus Elise that was released at the same time. The front and rear white line adjustable sway bars have been set up and adjusted for autocross use. They can easily be switched to encourage drifting around every corner, or dialed in to have understeer. The tires, shocks, struts, wheel bearings and brake pads have less than 5,000 miles on them. The engine was serviced at 97,000 miles and the water pump, spark plugs and timing belt were all replaced. It has been given synthetic oil for the last 10+ years, changed every 3,000 miles or 1 year, whichever comes first. Insurance is with Hagerty classic car insurance with a guaranteed value of 10,000 and costs under $300 for the year. The interior is in good shape. The dash cracked from age, and was fitted with a custom cut/color dash pad, as well as custom fit floor mats. The seats are still supportive, and fully electric including a hand operated lumbar support control. The silver trim around the backs of the seats are in need of replacing, I have not found a suitable replacement part yet. There is an aftermarket intake system for additional horsepower, but the entire stock intake system was kept and will be sold with the car if you wish to return it to stock trim. The driver side window falls off the track occasionally. I have a replacement window regulator that will go with the sale of the car. The passenger side mirror was cracked, and I replaced it with the mirror from a 1985 toyota supra. The electrical plug is different between the two model years, but I retained the 1984 mirror as well, to swap out the motor. The sunroof operates and does not leak. The pop-up headlights are fully functioning and both motors are strong. This car could be easily daily driven, and has no smoke, leaks or mechanical problems. I have included extensive pictures showing the condition of the car. The body is extremely straight and with the suspension and braking upgrades it handles and stops like a modern sports car. More Information about the Celica Supra from Hagerty History of the 1982-1986 Toyota SupraThe 1978 Toyota Supra (technically the Celica Supra) represented Toyota’s first foray into the performance sport compact market. Designed to compete with the Mazda RX-7 and Datsun 280Z, the Supra was built on a lengthened Celica chassis and powered by a 2.6-liter straight-six engine with a single overhead cam. It wasn’t until the second generation Supra bowed in 1982, however, that Toyota got serious about mainstream performance. While the first generation Supra delivered 110-116 hp during its run, the second generation arrived with a 2.8-liter, fuel-injected, DOHC engine boasting 145 hp and a 0-60 time under 10 seconds. Buyers could choose between a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission, and starting in 1983 the automatic was upgraded to a two-mode electronically controlled transmission featuring “normal” and “power” settings. On the outside, the Supra looked like a modified Celica with more length in front of the firewall to accommodate the six-cylinder engine, and unique front end bodywork with pop-up headlights. The result was a handsome and sporty looking car in step with the angular styles of the era. Perhaps better than the engine and the exterior was the Supra’s four-wheel independent suspension, tuned by Lotus. Mark II Toyota Supras were popular drivers’ cars and were often found in autocross competitions of the era. In addition, the Supra came with four-wheel disc brakes, power everything, standard cruise control, and tilt steering wheel. Both P-type (for performance) and L-type (for luxury) Mark II Supras were available. P-type cars were equipped with limited slip differentials, fender flares, eight-way adjustable seats, larger wheels, and a rear spoiler. In 1985, both variants graduated to 15x6 wheels. Toyota increased power for the Mark II Supra during each model year, as it went to 150 hp in 1983, 160 hp in 1984, and 161 hp in 1985. The Supra Mark II line technically extended through the 1986 model year, but the final cars were really 1985 models that were held over while Toyota developed the Mark III Supra, which appeared as a half model year in 1986. Over the course of five years, Toyota produced about 115,000 Mark II Supras. The original MSRP of a 1982 Supra was $13,500 and the last of this generation in 1986 sold for $16,000, or roughly the same as a Nissan 300ZX of the same year. The Mark II Toyota Celica Supra is recognized as a milestone in Japanese performance vehicles. The cars helped change America’s perception of Toyota as a manufacturer of econo-boxes, and attracted the attention of spirited drivers across the country. Today, enthusiasts tend to seek out the later P-type cars due to their higher power ratings and more purposeful set-up. Collectors should also note that sunroofs were dealer-installed options. |

Toyota Camry incentives and fleet sales cranked to keep sales crown, insiders worried
Mon, 01 Jul 2013We've been watching for some time now as Toyota has piled more incentives on the hood of its Camry sedan, and Automotive News reports that the we're not the only ones with raised eyebrows. The current Camry hasn't even been on the market for two years, but the family sedan segment is more hotly contested than it has been in years. It's that high level of competition that has led the automaker to uncharacteristically add more money on the hood in order to assure it maintains its long-held title of America's Best-Selling Car, a mantle it has owned for a dozen years. It's ramping up fleet sales, too.
According to the analysts at TrueCar, Toyota has bumped incentives per unit every month this year, now totaling some $2,750 as of May, a 38-percent hike over this time last year. That's more spiff money than the segment's other best sellers, the Nissan Altima ($2,400), Ford Fusion ($2,300) and Honda Accord ($1,400), all of whom have actually decreased their incentive spend by 20- to 40-percent over the same period.
The ramp up in incentive spending and fleet sales has analysts concerned that Toyota will tarnish the Camry's historically sterling resale value. ALG pegs the 2013 Camry's current 36-month residual value at 54.4 percent, well ahead of the segment average's 50.9 percent (but shy of the Accord's 55.6 percent). However, analysts are concerned that as the current generation ages, their resale values will eventually plummet if incentives continue to increase as Toyota looks to keep the Camry's best-selling car crown going forward.
Toyota settles first wrongful death suit related to unintended acceleration
Mon, 21 Jan 2013Toyota's sales seem to have rebounded from the unintended acceleration issues from 2009 and 2010, but the automaker is far from done dealing with this situation. Following a settlement worth up to $1.4 billion for economic loss to affected vehicle owners, Toyota has settled rather than going to trial in a wrongful death lawsuit stemming from an accident in Utah in 2010 that left two passengers dead. This isn't the first case in which Toyota has settled, but it was the first among a consolidated group of cases being held in Santa Ana, CA.
According to The Detroit News, this case was scheduled to take place next month, and it was for a November 2010 incident in which Paul Van Alfen and Charlene James Lloyd were killed in a Camry when, based on findings by the Utah Highway Patrol, the accelerator got stuck causing the car to speed out of control and hit a wall; the terms of the settlement were not announced.
The article says that while Toyota will settle on some cases, it doesn't plan on settling on all of them as it still wants to be able to "defend [its] product at trial." This will probably be the case in suits claiming that software for the drive-by-wire accelerator was the cause of an accident in a Toyota or Lexus vehicle. The question of whether or not the electronic accelerator played any role in this problem has been a hot-button topic since the beginning. Toyota has issued recalls in the past to attempt to prevent unintended acceleration caused by trapped floor mats and faulty accelerator pedals, but it also says driver error was to blame in some instances.
2nd annual Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards revealed
Tue, Jan 13 2015There was some absolutely fantastic auto advertising in 2014, ranging from funny to inspiring. Marking the best of it from the past year, the Second Annual One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards were announced during the 2015 Detroit Auto Show (full disclosure: Autoblog was among the award's sponsors, and Editor-in-Chief Sharon Carty was a voter). Unlike previously, there were no brands with dominance over the list this time. Presented by The One Club, the awards have an international scope and hand out honors in a variety of categories. In the Broadcast TV group, there were three winners this year. First, there was The Scripted Life from Audi for the Q3 about breaking out of life's monotony. Also, Dad's Sixth Sense from Hyundai marketed the safety features in the Genesis. Finally, Unbreakable Drivers showed manly men being tested for the Toyota Hilux in Australia. The Online Video prize went to the fantastic The Epic Split spot from Volvo Trucks starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. The best Interactive ad was the Honda video titled The Other Side for the Civic Type R, and the Experiential Advertising nod was for the Volkswagen Eyes on the Road clip that showed the dangers of texting and driving to a theater full of moviegoers in Hong Kong. Finally, the Public Choice Award went to the BMW commercial called Hello Future using the words of sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke for the i8. In the award not for videos, Jeep won the Print/Outdoor category for its Upside Down campaign. Check the ads out below, which show different animals when upside down.
