After numerous showings/emails/texts/phone calls etc, I wanted to update this ad with more info.

This Supra started life as a pampered NA 5-speed Supra for the first 105k miles of it's existence.   Roughly 8 years ago, the transplant was completed (professionally), from Non-turbo 5-speed to TT- 6-speed(Getrag).   The 2JZ-GTE  engine saw no more than factory boost limits (~11.7psi) for nearly the entire life of the current engine(up until about 200 miles ago).

The car has the complete NA-TT swap minus the rear brake calipers.  The only reason is that ultimately I might have put a set of 15" drag wheels on the car, and the TT rear calipers don't work with these anyway, so the NA rear calipers remain.

All other standard NA to turbo parts have been converted(Front TT calipers, driveshaft, rear end, LSD,etc.).

Currently the Car is running a single turbo conversion, and is at ~500rwhp.  The car is on stock fuel and ECU, and the clutch has a "stock feel".  This makes for the perfect street Supra.

If you ever driven or owned a Supra with 800+hp, it sounds great on paper, but is simply not "streetable".

This car has the best of both worlds....Perfectly streetable--drives like a stock Supra....with a ton more "punch".    And is ready to go to the next level (give it AEM EMS and a Fuel upgrade and you're at 700+hp).

Please see the numerous pics below, but I would describe the car as followed:

Exterior-
The car was repainted in the Factory Renaissance Red, a few years ago.  The paint/sheen etc. look great, but there are a few chips(up front--hood and front bumper), and random door dings,etc(~10).  All the dings, could be repaired using PDR (paintless dent removal)  From 12+ feet away the car looks perfect.  As you get a little closer, you start seeing things that could use correction.  There is a 1" x 5" scrap on the front bumper cover (pass side, below light).

Interior-
This was the selling point of the car for me.  The is my 3rd MKIV, and I've also owned 3 Lexus SC300 cars.  As you start looking at cars that are 15-20 years old, the overall condition can vary two-fold.   This car clearly was garaged its entire life, as you can tell by the interior.  There is some slight sun-fading in the dash (it spent numerous years in AZ).  But overall the interior looks fantastic for it's age.

Motor-

The car does emit a little blue smoke on start up, which is the value steam seals (very common GTE issue).  I wanted to make sure that health of the motor is good however, so I just took the car in to get a compression and leak down test.  Both tests came back perfect!(formal documentation can be sent upon request).  Brand new plugs were just gapped, and installed, and the coilpacks were checked for any cracks (again..no issues).  As stated above this engine wasn't abused, and never pushed beyond 12psi.  Exact mileage of the engine is unknown, but approximate mileage is 50-60K.  In addition, the mileage of the chasis (138,200) is actually high.  The rear gearing wasn't swapped till about 2 months ago, so it was reading ~30% incorrect.  I estimate the actual mileage of the car at ~128K.

Items of attention-

1.  The rear power antenna is broke off at the base (all Toyotas/Lexus's with this style antenna eventually break......poor design).  The car has a App Radio, so it uses your cellphone to stream musics (Pandora, etc), so I never bothered to fix the antenna.
2. The rear tires are brand new, but the fronts could use a replacement in the near future (the car has been stored for 4 out of the last 5 years, on these tires).
3. The cruise control was deleted with the 98 steering wheel swap.  All compenents were retained, so it could be added back.
4. Since the car was lowered, with widened wheels, there is a small amount of rubbing over large bumps, etc.  Very common issue with any modified car.
5.  There is a small oil leak coming from the oil pan.
6.  The airbag light in on
7.  The power door lock actuators don't seem to work. (easy fix, but never got around to it).

Shipping/trades/financing:

1. I will sell the car internationally, if  the buyer pays all expenses, and completes payment via bank wire.   I live in Colorado so shipment to any "Port" city would have to be paid for at the buyers expense.  I will also ship the car to anywhere in the US (again the buyers expense---Uship is actually very reasonable), but payment would have to be made via Cashiers check, or bank wire.

2. I'm not accepting any trades at this time.

3. Financing-  MKIV Supras are between 16 and 21 years old.  You typically cannot finance these cars "traditionally".   I"ve personally used JJBest, as they will finance any Classic or Specialty vehicle with 20% down.   Also Credit unions typically are a better bet than large banks.

2014 Toyota Camry to get 'significant' attention?

Sun, 24 Nov 2013

With competition from Ford, Chevrolet, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda and Nissan mounting, Toyota is getting set to unveil a refreshed version of its Camry sedan a mere two years after it was fully redesigned.
According to a report from Bloomberg, Toyota's move to freshen the still young Camry comes as it seeks to retain its US sales crown in the midsize segment. That desperation has lead to increased incentives and fleet sales in a bid to keep its title, all while trying to keep pace with a slew of very competent competitors.
"It's safe to say we'll be doing something with it," Bill Fay, group vice president of the Toyota brand in the US, told Bloomberg during last week's LA Auto Show. "We'll be paying significant attention to Camry next year."

These are the cars with the best and worst depreciation after 5 years

Thu, Nov 19 2020

The average new vehicle sold in America loses nearly half of its initial value after five years of ownership. No surprise there; we all expect that shiny new car to start depreciating as soon as we drive it off the lot. But some vehicles lose value a lot faster than others. According to data provided by iSeeCars.com, trucks and truck-based sport utility vehicles generally hold their value better than other vehicle types, with the Jeep Wrangler — in both four-door Unlimited and standard two-door styles — and Toyota Tacoma sitting at the head of the pack. The Jeep Wrangler Unlimited's average five-year depreciation of 30.9% equals a loss in value of $12,168. That makes Jeep's four-door off-roader the best overall pick for buyers looking to minimize depreciation. The Toyota Tacoma's 32.4% loss in initial value means it loses just $10,496. The smaller dollar amount — the least amount of money lost after five years — indicates that Tacoma buyers pay less than Wrangler Unlimited buyers, on average, when they initially buy the vehicle. The standard two-door Jeep Wrangler is third on the list, depreciating 32.8% after five years and losing $10,824. Click here for a full list of the top 10 vehicles with the least depreciation over five years. On the other side of the depreciation coin, luxury sedans tend to plummet in value at a much faster rate than other vehicle types. The BMW 7 Series leads the losers with a 72.6% drop in value after five years, which equals an alarming $73,686. BMW's slightly smaller 5 Series is next, depreciating 70.1%, or $47,038, over the same period. Number three on the biggest losers list is the Nissan Leaf, the only electric vehicle to appear in the bottom 10. The electric hatchback matches the 5 Series with a 70.1% drop in value, but since it's a much cheaper vehicle, that percentage equals a much smaller $23,470 loss.

Toyota maintains world's largest automaker crown, GM and VW close behind

Wed, 24 Apr 2013

Toyota still holds the title of World's Largest Automaker. The Japanese automaker ceded the claim to General Motors in 2011 following a series of natural and man-made disasters that stifled production in Asia. Production is back up to full speed and, coupled with the introduction of a new Camry midsize sedan, Toyota retook the title in 2012 and has so far been able to keep it by selling 2.43 million vehicles in the first quarter of 2013.
The race is still tight - General Motors reports sales of 2.36 million vehicles, earning it the second spot globally with Volkswagen's 2.27 million sales nabbing the German automaker third place. It's not all smooth sailing for Toyota, either, as the brand's first-quarter figures were down 2.2 percent when compared to last year. GM posted a 3.6-percent gain and VW managed a 5.1-percent gain over the same period.
Sales in China may be a deciding factor as to which automaker performs best in 2013. Toyota's figures were down 13 percent in China. Meanwhile, GM and VW are continuing their upward trajectories in the crucial Chinese market.
