Here's your chance to own an adult driven, unmolested and pampered Supra; that is, it has not been put to the pavement with aftermarket performance accessories.  I believe this to be a 3-owner car. The 2nd owner, a fellow professional chemical engineer, purchased the car in 1997 and sold it to me in 2003 and I have owned it ever since. This cars' purpose was to be a get-away weekend cruiser for me and my wife which is why I bought a N/A (naturally aspirated) model rather than the pricey turbo model.

The car is factory original; all I added was an OEM spoiler from a factory supra, aftermarket wheels and 1" lowered front springs.  I reupholstered the front seats approximately 8 yrs ago which are in 10 of 10 condition as we speak.  The rear seat and the rest of the interior is factory original and is in excellent condition.  The front license plate holes have never been drilled which is a plus.  In the last month I had the car professionally mobile detailed: clay bar, machine buffed, hand wax, shampooed carpet, leather conditioner, engine bay, etc etc.  AC blows cold and replaced AC clutch approx 1,500 miles ago. Front windshield is chip and crack free.  It sits on NS Racing wheels with 8.5" fronts and 9.5" rears with brand new MAXXIS tires with less than 200 miles.  I purchased the car with 131,492 miles June 30, 2003 and exactly 11 years later it reads 135,532.  However, the odometer has exceeded its mechanical limits and I have noticed it works sporadically.  A mechanic ran the codes resulting in a  "speed sensor" and EGR valve notification.  I have replaced the EGR valve and have spent ZERO seconds researching the speed sensor and how to fix it as I'm not that concerned about it.  In all honesty the car has been driven approximately 6,000 miles since purchased in 2003 with only 6-700 miles of that coming in the last 5 years.  It has been garage kept and covered most of the time I've owned it.  I recently bled the entire brake system to correct a spongy pedal (due to air in the system from sitting) and now works like new.  It has all the original VIN tag stickers on all the body panels.  Radiator just flushed and new coolant added.  Differential oil was replaced a few years back.  Good news: NO white exhaust smoke on start up (white exhaust smoke is common for Supras indicating worn valve stem o-rings).  

Needs:  The antenna broke when left up at a car wash.  I have another complete OEM antenna and motor that will be included in the purchase for installation.  The rear hatch struts have lost their compression so the hatch will not stay up unless held.  The front speaker foam surround has dry rotted.  Paint is flaking in small area around front hood emblem and under left headlight.  One small rust spot above right rear tire where window rubber meets the hatchback glass surround.  Car is pretty much dent and door ding free.

I just completed a home construction expansion and this is my ticket to help paying myself back.  I guarantee the car description to be exactly as stated above listing all positives and negatives of which I am aware. This car also qualifies as a Classic car through Hagerty which my insurance only runs couple hundred year as long as not a primary driven vehicle.  I will store the car at no charge to allow buyer to arrange for pickup if paid in full.  Title is in my name free and clear.  Anything I missed or more questions don't hesitate to contact me...281-865-2262. -James

Car and Driver shows off awesome 1960s ads

Fri, Sep 11 2015

Someone must have recently rediscovered the keys to the archives at Car and Driver, and the access has been put to good use. Following last month's fantastic look at automotive ads from the '50s, there's now a new gallery running from March 1960 through December 1969. This collection provides a great overview of a decade full of iconic cars. If you're a fan of Carroll Shelby, particularly his Mustangs, then there's a lot to love among this group. One ad from July 1965 aimed to sell the GT350, but with an ocean of text and a tiny picture, it probably could've used a once-over by Don Draper's team. By December '65, the copywriters ironed out the problems with a spot proclaiming boldly "Shelby GT350 is 'Son of Cobra.'" The company offered some great accessories, too. For those into European motoring, there's a humorous attempt to sell the Alfa Romeo Giulia as both a racecar and family hauler. Toyota also boasts about the winning record for the 2000GT. Among the best text comes from BMW for lines like: "What's BMW got? The most advanced high-performance engine in any production car, for a cruising speed of 100 mph." Of course, Volkswagen's famous "Lemon" ad for the Beetle also gets its due here. Separately, each of these ads is fascinating, but taken together they tell the story of a great decade of motoring. Go give them all a read at Car and Driver.

Russians create Toyota Land Cruiser ice sculpture with full interior

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

The Toyota Land Cruiser is a pretty hot model around the world. But it took the Russians to make it cool. We have few hard, cold facts and only small slivers of information about these photos, but it seems the icy Toyota was part of the International Snow & Ice Festival in Perm, Russia.
Artists took a huge chunk of ice and shaved it down to the temporary art installation you see here. The sub-zero SUV comes complete with a full interior accessed by the (permanently frozen open) driver's side door. The steering wheel and seats look to be upholstered in, well, dirt. With the back seats removed, the frigid four-door is a pretty slick ride in which to chill out.
Just a thought, but wouldn't a Toyota Tundra have been more appropriate? See the gallery for more photos.

Buy a Toyota GT86 and your wife will hate you

Wed, 14 Nov 2012

Marketing can be a very strange business. Convincing a man or woman (or child, really) that they absolutely cannot live without the latest, greatest new bit of technology oftentimes takes a unique approach. In the "online film promoting the Toyota GT86" you'll see below, created by agency Happiness Brussels, men are reverse-psychologied into thinking a new sports coupe will make them more masculine by getting their loved ones to hate them. Or something like that. We think.
In any case, we suggest you watch the video below to see how much fun men can have with a GT86 - or Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ, presumably - at the expense of their significant others. Fair warning: There's a potential Not Safe For Work moment in the ad: beware of a brief male butt shot about 44 seconds in.
Marketing. Gotta love it. Unless you're married to a man. Or something like that. We think. Whatever, just watch.
