You are looking at a well kept, winter covered, mint condition, fantastic '85 Supra. NO RUST. I have had her for about 5 years and love her to death but it is time to move on.

I am the second owner and I have only put on about 4,000 miles. I will be completely honest about everything wrong with the car, no sense in telling any stories, you will see it anyway. The AC compressor won't hold a charge. The O rings have shrunk up and the whole system probably needs the O rings changed. If it was driven more the oil in the system would keep them lubed but that hasn't happened. EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS, even the motorized antenna. I do have some videos of the car. I have done a lot to keep her in great mechanical shape. All replacement parts are Toyota. I have even saved the old parts. What has been replaced: Plugs, plug wires, all water hoses, all belts (including timing, done by dealer), slave cylinder, cap/rotor, tires, gas cap, headlights. EVERYTHING else is ORIGINAL. It is kept under a chamois car cover, with a waterproof cover over that from November to May. The waterproof cover was riped up during a February wind storm (worse than Sandy), so that is gone. But, I tied down the ripped cover with bungie cords and one of them wore thru and scratched the top of the car! CRAP.. I have touched it up but you can still see it. For the most part the paint is in fantastic shape, there are a couple of very small paint chips, but you really have to look to see them. The ONLY rust is on both sides of the spoiler where it touches the liftgate, I have a picture. So very small, just can't get to it because of the location.I have a picture of the driver door, where the clear coat is peeling just a little above the trim. Again, I want you to know everything. The interior is in perfect shape, almost showroom, the only thing that shows any discolor or wear is the steering wheel, and that is minor compared to the ones I see online or on Ebay.

As you can see I am not asking top dollar. But, this car is worth top dollar. Each winter I take out the battery and in the spring when I reinstall it, and turn the key, she just instantly turns over and purrs like a kitten. Wonderful. And boy can she fly! I never have been one to push her, but she wants to go, go, go! I would love her to go to a person who loves to collect classic cars. But, that would be up to you as the new owner. :)

After the auction is complete, and a winner is declared, the winning bidder must make a comletely refundable $2000 payment to my PayPal account. The remainder will be paid when the car is seen and the winning bidder is completely happy. You will have to go to my local bank and present a check or money order with verifiction of funds. The Title will then be signed over to the new owner.

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 wants improved crash scores with midcycle facelifts

Thu, 29 Aug 2013

The performances of some Toyotas in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) regimen of crash tests leave something to be desired. Consider the small overlap frontal crash test: only six Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles have undergone the new test, yet all but one of them received a poor rating. Osama Nagata, CEO of Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America Inc., says midcycle vehicle updates are in the works to address the safety issues brought to light by the IIHS test, Automotive News reports. He confirmed that the RAV4 is getting safety updates following its crash test performance last month, but he didn't name any other models.
All three Toyotas that were tested - 2013 RAV4, 2012-2013 Prius V, 2012-2013 Camry - received poor ratings. The 2007-2012 Lexus ES 350 and 2006-2013 IS 250/350 also received poor ratings. The only other Toyota Motor Corp. vehicle to score better than poor is the 2014 Scion TC. It received an acceptable rating in the small overlap frontal crash test and is the only recent vehicle in Toyota's line-up to get the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating.
The small overlap front crash test measures the safety of a car when its front left corner is strikes an object during an accident, bypassing traditional crumple zones, which deform in a way to protect passengers. In 2009, automakers were alerted to the forthcoming addition of the test, which was first implemented last year, IIHS spokesman Russ Rader says. They responded with differing intensity, he says, pointing out that Subaru and Honda started incorporating design changes early on so their cars would perform well in the tests.

Details about next-gen Toyota Prius emerge

Tue, 28 Jan 2014

The Toyota Prius is undeniably the king of the hybrid market in the United States, with a 39.4 percent market share in 2013. With the next-generation Prius likely to go on sale in 2015, Toyota is trying to build an even more efficient hybrid to keep its control of the market.
Keeping cost down will be one of the major concerns of the new Prius. The next generation will ride on the new, modular Toyota New Global Architecture platform. The lighter underpinnings will improve efficiency and will reduce production costs by allowing for more shared components among vehicles. Toyota will not reveal how many vehicles will use the new platform. But even with the cheaper platform, price will remain a concern. Toyota is still deciding whether all versions of the next Prius will use lithium-ion batteries or whether some models will stick with the heavier nickel-metal hydride batteries to keep cost down.
Of course, the reason most people buy the Prius is because of its great fuel efficiency. Toyota will aim for at least an 8 percent improvement in fuel economy in the next Prius, which would increase it to 58 miles per gallon city and 52 mpg highway.
