See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"1987 Toyota Supra with 88,000 miles on the chassis (seriously)."

88,000 miled on the chassis (it was garaged for a long period of time in the 90's).  Started out as a non-turbo, but we turned it into a project car and swapped out the 7M-GE for a JDM 7M-GTE.  This car has TONS of premium parts under the hood, and that's where you'll find the true value.  This project is about 80% done but I no longer have the time or the funds to finish it up.

THIS CAR STARTS UP AND RUNS JUST FINE AS IS, it just needs a bit of tuning.  It's already pushing around 320hp.  All you need to do now is swap out the auto tranny for a manual.

The engine computer and harness are JDM, which means they were a bit too short for American cars, so the computer sticks out from the glovebox. You will need to extend the wire harness to be able to put the glovebox back.

The interior does need a new headliner and an armrest.  Other than that, the interior just has the wear and tear expected of a 1987 car.  The exterior could use a better paint job. Only minor dings which are hardly noticeable.  Some of the exterior mouldings are also missing.

 installed:

  • JDM 7M-GTE turbo inline-six engine
  • ETS intercooler system
  • 3" downpipe
  • 3" HKS cat-back exhaust system (this, plus the downpipe gives you 3" straight through to the turbo)
  • HKS blow-off valve
  • K&N intake

other extras:
  • replaced stock head gasket with metal head gasket (with ARP head studs) to prevent typical supra leaking problem
  • high quality spark plugs and wires installed
  • new timing belt
  • various sensors replaced
  • 17" rims and tires
  • you also get the stock 16" wheels as well
  • moonroof



There are some parts that I bought but never got to install, like a gauge pod with 3 gauges.

The exterior could use a better paint job, but it's not terrible.  Only minor dings which are hardly noticeable.  One of the door mouldings is also missing.

The ugly economics of green vehicles

Sat, Sep 20 2014

It's fair to say that most consumers would prefer a green vehicle, one that has a lower impact on the environment and goes easy on costly fuel (in all senses of the term). The problem is that most people can't – or won't – pay the price premium or put up with the compromises today's green cars demand. We're not all "cashed-up greenies." In 2013, the average selling price of a new vehicle was $32,086. The truth is that most Americans can't afford a new car, green or not. In 2013, the average selling price of a new vehicle was $32,086. According to a recent Federal Reserve study, the median income for American families was $46,700 in 2013, a five-percent decline from $49,000 in 2010. While $32,000 for a car may not sound like a lot to some, it's about $630 a month financing for 48 months, assuming the buyer can come up with a $6,400 down payment. And that doesn't include gas, insurance, taxes, maintenance and all the rest. It's no wonder that a recent study showed that the average family could afford a new car in only one of 25 major US cities. AutoTrader conducted a recent survey of 1,900 millennials (those born between 1980 and 2000) about their new and used car buying habits. Isabelle Helms, AutoTrader's vice president of research, said millennials are "big on small" vehicles, which tend to be more affordable. Millennials also yearn for alternative-powered vehicles, but "they generally can't afford them." When it comes to the actual behavior of consumers, the operative word is "affordable," not "green." In 2012, US new car sales rose to 14.5 million. But according to Manheim Research, at 40.5 million units, used car sales were almost three times as great. While the days of the smoke-belching beater are mostly gone, it's a safe bet that the used cars are far less green in terms of gas mileage, emissions, new technology, etc., than new ones. Who Pays the Freight? Green cars, particularly alternative-fuel green cars, cost more than their conventional gas-powered siblings. A previous article discussed how escalating costs and limited utility drove me away from leasing a hydrogen fuel cell-powered Hyundai Tucson, which at $50,000, was nearly twice the cost of the equivalent gas-powered version. In Hyundai's defense, it's fair to ask who should pay the costs of developing and implementing new technology vehicles and the infrastructure to support them.

How platform problems are delaying next-gen Prius

Tue, Jul 29 2014

Short-term pain for longer-term gain? That may be the prognosis for the next-generation Toyota Prius, the world's best-selling hybrid. But, hey, the new version might get holiday season debut, now. Toyota is upgrading some of its most popular models and trying to cut long-term costs with components that can be used on multiple models on the new Toyota New Global Architecture platform, Automotive News says. That means more parts that can be used for the Camry, Avalon (not big stretch, since the Avalon is basically a rich man's Camry) and Corolla in addition to the Prius. The downside, of course, is that this takes a bit more engineering and certainly more time. In the case of the Prius, that means pushing back the start of production from next summer to December 2015. But Automotive News also says the Prius may have an all-wheel-drive option. Happy Holidays. The report is in update from Automotive News Europe, which cited folks familiar with the process who were not identified and said late last month that the production of the fourth-gen Prius would be pushed back by about six months as engineers continue to tweak the hybrid powertrain for maximum efficiency. The goal is around a 10 percent improvement in fuel-efficiency thanks to an upgraded powertrain and lower vehicle weight. Toyota spokeswoman Amanda Rice told AutoblogGreen in an email that the company doesn't comment on future products, so we'll just have to keep an eye out.

Toyota unintended acceleration lawsuit settled for $16M

Mon, 08 Apr 2013

Slowly, the many loose threads still dangling after the unintended acceleration issue Toyota faced a few years ago are being resolved. The Orange County District Attorney's office was believed to be the first DA's office to take Toyota to court, its suit alleging that Toyota knew its cars had defects and continued to sell them. The suit sought to "permanently enjoin Toyota from continued unlawful, unfair, deceptive, and fraudulent business practices as it pertains to both consumers and competitors" and asked for $2,500 "for every violation of the Unfair Business Practices Act," plus costs.
That suit has now been settled, Toyota - without admitting fault or wrongdoing - agreeing to pay $16 million to the county. Half of the money will go to the Orange County Gang Reduction Intervention Partnership, another four million dollars to the OC DA's office to investigate economic crime, the remaining four million being used to pay for the case.
