Up for sale is my very original and beautiful 1983 Toyota Celica Supra P (performance) Type. It is getting very difficult to find an original paint, unaltered and unmolested car of any kind anymore and especially this generation of sporty cars from Japan. Most of them have either rusted away or were rode hard and put up wet, or worse yet now seeing duty as drifter cars. This car is wearing it's original coat of Terra Cotta paint and is completely rust free. Some of you ebay aficionados may recall seeing this car here on ebay a few months ago. Without boring you with a bunch of useless nostalgia dribble I would like to tell you why this car is in my possession. As a fifty something year old who has always had an interest in things with 4 wheels I have been restoring, collecting and occasionally buying and reselling classic and unique cars for a number of years now. My primary interest has been in Pony Cars of the sixties and seventies. In December of 1981 I purchased a brand new and just introduced 1982 Supra P type exactly like the one you see here. The Supra had won Motor Trend's Import Car of the Year award for 1982 and all of the car magazines were raving on about the car. Each of them featured a Terra Cotta P type Supra on their covers so when I saw one show up on the showroom of my local Toyota dealer I had to have it. Approximately one month after I purchased the car the car was totaled when I was struck by a drunk driver. As a young newly married man with a new job and a new baby I was pressured not to replace the car with another sports car so I bought a Cressida instead. Loved the Cressida but always had a soft spot in my heart for my "first sports car" so when I saw this car on ebay I had to have it. I have enjoyed driving the car the last couple of months getting plenty of thumbs up and "what is that?" questions but I got my needed dose of nostalgia. I would love to keep the car but I have come to the realization I don't have space for the car at this time. I am out of garage space at the house and a have a wife who is going to kill me if I don't free up a space for her driver. I am currently keeping the car at a storage facility about a mile from my house. As far as this car goes here is what I can tell you. As you have probably figured out, I am not the original owner. The car was originally purchased by a gentleman in Cuddebacville NY on March 30, 1983 from Toyota City Inc. in Mamaroneck NY. He is the only titled owner. I have the original title that was signed over by him in April of 2012. I have not reassigned the title and is still open. If you purchase the car you will be the second registered owner. Apparently he was fanatic about this car as it was stored in an environmentally controlled garage it's entire life and never driven in bad weather. It has 61K miles showing and I am absolutely positive this is original per the condition of the car. The car was undercoated and Ziebarted when purchased. There is no evidence the car has ever been an any collision and is wearing 100% of it's original paint which looks beautiful. The interior is also showing very little wear with the exception of the console lid. The original floor mats are with the car and pictured here. Even the drivers floor mat is still nice. The car runs like a Swiss watch and drives out fine. I am still amaze at the build quality of Asian cars especially Toyotas of this era. The car is as tight as it was new with no squeaks or rattles. The A/C is currently not working but all the components are there including the belt. I haven't had time to put gauges on it to check for leaks but I would bet that it would blow cold with a charge of R12. All power accessories work fine including the sunroof. Only two other things that will need attention in the future is the gas gauge and the clutch. It goes into gear fine and shifts fine but it is obvious to me that the clutch is nearing the end of its life(normal wear) I have the original window sticker for the car ( $ 16,523) and original dealer brochures. I have owned all generations of the Supra with the exception of the first one is still my favorite. While this car is not perfect it is wouldn't take much to make it one. I have priced the car with a fair Buy it Now price with a reserve that is lower and also very fair for a car of this caliber. If there is something not covered in the description or not represented by the pictures, please feel free to contact me by sending a message through ebay. I will respond promptly. Good luck and happy bidding! |

Cosworth teases upgrades for Subaru BRZ
Mon, 19 May 2014Subaru may or may not produce an STI version of the BRZ. Things seem to go back and forth on the subject. But Subaru Tecnica International isn't the only company with a history of tuning Subies. So does Cosworth, and now the British racing firm appears to be turning its attention to the BRZ and its Toyota- and Scion-badged siblings.
For those unacquainted, Cosworth is more than your average tuning company. It's a racing firm first and foremost, having made F1 engines under its own name as well as Ford's (chief among them the all-conquering DFV 3.0-liter V8 of 1960s and 70s fame), not to mention engines for Indy, rally and even high-performance, road-going versions of the Ford Sierra, Chevy Vega and Mercedes 190E. The list goes on and on, but you get the point.
Now withdrawing from Formula One, Cosworth is focusing its attention on tuning road cars again with the launch of the Cosworth Power Package line, the first of which will focus on the Toyota GT86 (aka Scion FR-S) and Subaru BRZ. We don't know just yet what will be included in the packaged dubbed FA-20, but from the video teaser below, it seems there'll be upgrades to the exhaust, suspension, aero and - if we're lucky - maybe a super- or turbocharger for the 2.0-liter flat-four engine. We'll have to wait and see, but we get the feeling that with Cosworth on the job, it'll be worth the wait. Check out the minute-long video below in the meantime.
Japanese spark plug giant NGK pleads guilty to price fixing, to pay $52M fine
Wed, 20 Aug 2014The ongoing investigation by the Department of Justice into price fixing in the automotive industry has nabbed one more company breaking the law. Japanese parts giant NGK Spark Plug Company agreed to plead guilty to a felony count of pricing fixing and bid rigging in the in the US District Court in Detroit. Its punishment is a $52.1 million criminal fine and to continue to cooperate with the DOJ's sleuthing into the problem.
According to the DOJ, NGK conspired to fix prices on spark plugs, standard oxygen sensors, and air fuel ratio sensors on vehicles from major automakers in the US, including the former DaimlerChrysler, Honda and Toyota, in a scheme that ran from at least January 2000 to July 2011. The charge claimed that the company and its co-conspirators held meetings where they agreed on bids and price quotes that were submitted to the automakers.
With the latest plea, the DOJ has caught 28 companies and 26 executives for price-fixing and bid rigging in the auto parts industry, and they have collected $2.4 billion in criminal fines. In 2013, the feds brought nine Japanese suppliers down at once, to collect $740 million. Scroll down to read the DOJ's complete announcement of the case.
Lexus planning a hydrogen fuel-cell LS by 2017
Sun, Jan 4 2015Toyota's Fuel Cell System will certainly migrate to other vehicles in the carmaker's lineup, but Australian car site Motoring reports that one of the models at the head of the queue is the Lexus LS. According to its sources, the executive barge powered by hydrogen will be released by 2017 and take the top spot in the range, rolling in above the LS Hybrid. We're told that Toyota engineers will find a way to slide two hydrogen tanks into its bodywork with the same general setup as on the Mirai – one under the rear seats and another under the rear parcel shelf. The 150-kW fuel cell stack will be placed under the front seats. Motoring says the resulting sedan and its 220-kW electric motor would come in "at around 2,100 kg," which is 4,620 pounds; that's a ginormous 539 pounds less than the listed curb weight of the current LS Hybrid, and 387 pounds more than the standard LS. Assuming all goes as planned, it would have a range of roughly 238 miles, a few dozens less than the Mirai's range of about 300 miles. It would look slightly different, too, the front end getting larger intakes to cool the power unit. It wouldn't surprise us if Lexus does have a hydrogen LS planned – it would be a statement car, and the company likes making statements, even if few heed them; it has stuck with its LS 600h for the past seven years, yet of the 7,539 LS models sold through the end of November this year, only 61 of them were hybrids. The timing would be intriguing, however; by the time the LS hybrid came out, Lexus had already worked over its filet-and-potatoes models. And if the hydrogen version is going to come in above the $120,440 hybrid, well, that will be a statement indeed.
