1986 Toyota Supra One Owner, All Original, Nice Condition Throughout, Zero Rust! on 2040-cars
Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States
* 1986 TOYOTA Celica SUPRA "P" * (Last Year MK II)
Before you and up for bid is my 1986 TOYOTA SUPRA "P" (performance) sport model hatchback. These cars are of significance in automotive history. The particulars of the Supra are as follows: * One adult owner, purchased new from Alamo Toyota in San Antonio,Texas. Owned & driven for 27 years in Austin,Texas, then stored and occasionally driven in Colorado, these past 2 years. * Low mileage for the year, only 172,118 actual miles. * CARFAX certified NO ACCIDENT history, ownership & miles. * A SOLID Texas car, guaranteed to be ZERO RUST. When considering the purchase of one of these Supra's, the most important aspect for one to look for is RUST. By virtue of inherent "drainage design" issues, these cars were notorious for rust in specific areas. Observe the pictures of the quarter panels, rockers, spare tire compartment, under the doors, and the rear hatch lip, the car is rust free. * A garaged & pampered, non-smoker, no pets, food or beverages. * All original, it has never been in any accidents, nor has it has been restored. Overall, the car is in very good condition. The paint is original, and therefore after 27 years of Texas sun, thin on the hood and roof. It also has some clouding along the sides. * The interior has been very well preserved. I would rate it a 9 out of 10. * Black over black/gray interior, this is considered to be the best color combination. * Inline Twin Cam 6 cylinder engine, produced 161 horsepower in this last year. (160 in 1985) Factory stock, never modified or abused. * These MK II Supra's, as they are known, were manufactured between 1982-1986. Fully imported from Japan. When considering one for purchase, the choice is personal as to whether a first or last year is better. In the case of 1986 Supra's, ALL 1986 models were leftover 1985 models titled as 1986 models. Toyota's delay of the introduction of the MK IIl Supra is this cars reason for being. There are clearly not many true (titled) 1986 models. They are therefore, quite rare. Production date code of August, 1985. To distinguish a 1986 from a 1985 model, one need only look to the rear of the car. For in 1986, the government saw to the arrival of the mandated third brake light. It is mounted beneath the rear deck spoiler. Once the 1986 model arrived during mid year, it was the redesigned MK lll, and indeed those cars were titled as 1986.5 vehicles. * 5- Speed manual transmission, shifts fine through all gears as well as into reverse. The clutch is fine. * Full power, windows, mirrors and locks, they all operate properly. * Cruise Control * Factory Power Sunroof, fully operational forward and back, no leaks. * Toyota factory AM/FM/Cassette w/graphic equalizer, it still plays fine. * Power antenna, works properly * Very good carpets throughout * Good headliner, no sags or tears * Near perfect dash, there are two small splits at the windshield, they are very narrow and only run a couple of inches each, (see pic) no warping. "Dash Mat" protective cover. * The front seats are in good condition, they slide properly, are supportive, and show little wear, the drivers side support bladder's and inflation hand pump operate properly. * The rear seat was generally folded down and saw minimal use, it is in great shape. * Leather wrapped steering wheel w/tilt feature, showing only slight wear at the bottom position. * Factory AC, presently it is not blowing cold, it has not been retrofitted. * Excellent heat, defrost, ventilation, etc. * All buttons, switches and control knobs are present, there is nothing broken or missing. * Excellent Supra factory aluminum alloy wheels, they do not have any curb rash. * Full size original spare alloy, in new condition, as it has not been used, the original Dunlop tire is present along with the original jack and tire tool. * BFG T/A radials (4) these were purchased at the same time, they have approximately 50% tread wear remaining. * Original owners manual, service records, supplemental operational pamphlets and keys are included. * All original Toyota glass, no windshield cracks or chips * All gaskets and weather stripping are soft & pliable * Nice door panels, the drivers side arm rest has two small nicks * Nice rear panels * Nice console, the armrest storage lid has been reupholstered, the courtesy remote map light Toyota built into the console is still present. * Emergency brake works great * The interior panels rear panels were removed to detail the car, are all in excellent condition, no broken tabs anywhere. * The rear hatch carpet is in excellent shape, no fraying, tears or fading. * Hatch and hood strut cartridges operate properly * Rear hatch retractable cargo shade is present and in good shape * Other than the aged paint, at 29 years of age, the car still looks good and drives great, it goes down the road effortlessly at 75, and stops assuredly. It is still a very tight car. * The car runs strong, cylinder compression is between 148-155, mechanically, it is very sound, there are NO annoying drips or leaks. I removed the seats, console and rear panels to thoroughly clean the carpeting. I also photo documented the interior with the aforementioned parts removed, so as to illustrate that the car is indeed RUST FREE! Recent service included new NGK plugs and wires, fresh fluids, (oil and coolant)and filters. The belts and hoses are recent, there are also extra Toyota belts that will be included. * All safety features, horn, lights, directionals, emergency flashers, wipers, etc., are fully operational * Both headlights operate properly in unison. * This car has so much potential, firstly, because it is rust free, secondly, because it has never been wrecked. It would be easy to take it down to metal, put a quality paint job on it, then drive and enjoy it. An inexpensive and iconic classic sports car, it receives comments most everywhere it goes. It is also a great candidate for an ITS racer or drift car. These cars are becoming increasingly rarer in this condition, being rear wheel drive, many were converted for racing purposes. As with most Toyota's, these cars are known for their excellent drivability and reliability. You are bidding to purchase the Supra, not to be the first to look at it.

(Be thinking in the $5-$6 range) Buyers from the U.S., Canada, the UK, Europe, Australia and New Zealand are welcome and encouraged to bid with confidence. I am not a dealer, I am a collector/hobbyist. My plan was to restore the Supra, however, I recently underwent shoulder surgery which affected my timeline. In turn, another project is ready to be undertaken which requires the space presently occupied by the Supra. I strive to thoroughly and accurately represent the condition of a vehicle. Those that have purchased my cars are consistantly pleased with their vehicle, their expectations exceeded. Continued 100% eBay customer satisfaction is of importance to me. Thanks for looking and good luck when you bid! Jeff (719)-492-1234, c

Toyota found not at fault in alleged unintended acceleration crash
Fri, 11 Oct 2013Toyota has already paid out millions and billions of dollars in settlements surrounding unintended acceleration, but the first lawsuit in the matter, which headed to a California court in July, has reached a verdict. Following the 2009 death of Noriko Uno, whose 2006 Camry was hit by another car and then sped out of control before crashing into a tree, the jury found that Toyota was not at fault in the crash.
Even though the 2006 Camry (shown above) wasn't involved in any of the unintended acceleration-related recalls and it was not equipped with a brake override, Automotive News reports that the jury's verdict says there was no defect in the car and actually blames the entire incident on the driver that ran into Uno's car - to the tune of $10 million. The accident started when the other driver ran a stop sign and hit Uno's car, and the report says that medical conditions (including diabetes) caused Uno to fail to stop her Camry.
The AN article also states that this lawsuit was a bellwether case for around 85 other personal-injury and wrongful-death suits against Toyota, but there are still many impending suits across the country. Scroll down for an official statement on this particular case from Toyota.
Toyota sold record 1.52 million hybrids in 2017
Fri, Feb 2 2018Toyota has been selling electrified cars for more than two decades now, launching the Prius hybrid in Japan in 1997. Back in the fall of 2015, the automaker announced a number of goals as part of its "Environmental Challenge 2050." One of those was to sell 1.5 million hybrids (including its Lexus brand) annually by 2020. Toyota has announced that is has already achieved that goal, selling 1.52 electrified vehicles in 2017. That's an 8 percent increase of Toyota's 2016 hybrid sales, and means the company has sold more than 11.47 million electrified vehicles since it began. Toyota says that represents a reduction of more than 90 million tons of CO2. Last year's achievement "is a testament from our customers to the quality, durability and reliability of our electrified powertrains," says Toyota Executive VP Shigeki Terashi, "and, thanks to them, has led us to establish a solid and sustainable foundation for mass producing a more diverse portfolio of electrified vehicles across our range moving forward." Other goals of Toyota's Environmental Challenge 2050 are 30,000 annual fuel cell vehicle sales by 2020, mass production of battery electric vehicles in 2020 and annual electrified vehicle sales of 5.5 million by 2030. These are all part of Toyota's larger goal of reducing new vehicle CO2 emissions by 90 percent by 2050 (compared to 2010). Prior to 2016, Toyota hybrid sales peaked in 2013, at 1.28 million before slumping slightly in 2014 and 2015. Toyota saw an uptick and a new record in 2016, at 1.4 million, before setting yet another record in 2017, at 1.52 million. Related Video:
Toyota issues stop sale on 6 key models over seat fabrics; recall possible? [UPDATE]
Thu, 30 Jan 2014Toyota has issued a stop-sale order on six of its core models due to concerns about the flammability of certain seat fabrics. The issue rests not with the cloth and leather covers themselves, but with a piece of seat heater beneath them that fails to meet US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for flame retardancy.
There have been no reports of fires or injuries from the affected cars, which include some of Toyota's biggest volume sellers. 2013 and 2014 Camry, Camry Hybrid, Avalon and Sienna models equipped with heated seats are included in the stop-sale, as are 2014 Tundra pickups and Corolla sedans. The exact number of vehicles with the non-compliant materials are still being tabulated, according to The Detroit Free Press.
According to a Toyota spokesman, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has been notified, although it remains to be seen if a recall will be issued. Outside of a full recall, though, it's unclear how Toyota will deal with vehicles equipped with the flammable materials that have already found homes.
