This car was originally gifted to me by a friend many years back with the intention of it being a project car for myself. Unfortunately things never quite panned out for me as I never had the time or finances to support this project as fully as I had wanted to. In fact I still have a separate motor and rear end from an '83 Supra that were supposed to be switched into this vehicle. They were both from someone who had made considerable upgrades to each (suspension improvements for the rear end and I believe the engine was rebuilt and significantly more powerful). The car was always a blast to drive and the sounds coming out the rear end were amazing and always put a big grin on my face. These are pretty rare these days and I wish I really could maintain and improve it but I just can't. As such, I hope it can become a great project car for someone else to restore to it's full glory.
As for its condition it is slightly beat up being such an old model (hence it being a project car). The paint has rusted in some areas or chipped off. The interior has some stains and wear but no major defects like large tears in the upholstery or anything. Everything is pretty much just cosmetic. The only major interior problem I would say is the center console which is missing the radio/cassette player that should be there. I never checked explicitly but I think you should be able to install your own as all the connections seem to be present. Also, the steering wheel has a random cover on it since the original had basically deteriorated to the point that it was rather uncomfortable to hold. Lastly, the windshield has a fairly large crack going across it.
Since this is my first time selling on eBay I'm fairly new to the procedure and standard practices. I hope this description and included pictures covers most questions anyone would have but feel free to contact me with any other questions about the car or its condition or to ask for more specific pictures.
Thanks

This Irishman really likes the Toyota GT86
Sun, 10 Feb 2013Okay, okay - by this point in time just liking the Toyota GT86 (Scion FR-S, Subaru BRZ, what have you) doesn't make you special. Even if you're a sort of funny sounding, funny looking Irishman, who probably isn't the most seasoned car reviewer ever, digging the GT86 is not news.
However, if, when you choose to publish your ten-minute-long review, you include exclamatory phrases about your own pubic hair, Ozzy Osborne's drug habit and "gentleman vegetable stuff," well sir, then you'll have our attention.
Don't give up on this video, available down below, after the first couple of minutes, we implore you. The silver-tongued Irishman doesn't really get warmed up until four minutes in, or so. Believe us, it's worth the wait.
Toyota mulling Cummins diesel for Tundra?
Mon, 02 Sep 2013When Bloomberg spoke to Toyota USA Sales CEO Kazua Ohara recently, we highlighted his comments on the possible return of the Toyota Supra. However, the interview started with Ohara discussing the Tundra, and how it would take time to pinpoint and hone the pickup truck's brand image in the minds of consumers. That effort could get a boost, with a report in Edmunds saying that Toyota is "evaluating" the addition of a Cummins turbodiesel to the Tundra's engine options.
The Cummins powerplant is one of two options for the moment, the other being a hybrid powertrain. If the oil-burner got the thumbs-up, Toyota would follow the recent example of Nissan, which announced it would put a Cummins turbodiesel into its 2015 Titan. While the two Japanese companies make a closer comparison since they're both talking about Cummins applications in light-duty trucks, if it happens, it could be seen as further diluting the once-exclusive tie-up that Ram trucks has had with Cummins even though Ram has used Cummins in its heavy-duty truck.
Toyota hasn't said when it will decide on which direction to take, but either will be a move for the better in the view of segment watchers; PickupTrucks.com said the first of its top-five fixes for the Tundra would be a better engine, perhaps a diesel-electric hybrid from Toyota's Hino unit. Cummins told Edmunds it can supply a second manufacturer with the 5.0-liter diesel that Nissan will be using, so we wouldn't be surprised to see it end up in a Toyota or somewhere else.
Toyota engineer warns automous cars could increase fuel use, urban sprawl
Fri, 18 Jul 2014An increasing number of people are starting to consider the potential downsides of a transition to autonomous cars. The FBI is already looking at them for the potential ill effects on law enforcement, and a scientist for Toyota is raising the possibility that driverless vehicles could actually be detrimental to the environment over the long term.
Ken Laberteaux, who studies future transportation for Toyota, thinks that autonomous cars could lead to more pollution, not less, says Bloomberg. However, Laberteaux's theory isn't so much based purely on science as it is considering behavioral and historical trends. "US history shows that anytime you make driving easier, there seems to be this inexhaustible desire to live further from things," said Laberteaux during a presentation at the Automated Vehicles Symposium in San Francisco, CA, cited by Bloomberg.
Laberteaux's belief is that if commuters can make their drives easier, then they will be more willing to live farther away from the cities where they work. The end result would be more urban sprawl and increased pollution from the longer travel times.
