1983 Toyota P Type Supra, Beautiful All Original 1 Owner Car With 61k Miles on 2040-cars
Magnolia, Texas, United States
|
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! |

2014 Toyota Corolla and Tundra production underway
Fri, 02 Aug 2013After months of leaked photos and speculative reports, Toyota finally unveiled its 2014 Corolla to the world in early July at a star-studded California party. The confetti has been swept up and the champagne flutes washed and stored, and now the real work can begin: production. Toyota has announced that its new C-segment player has begun rolling off the lines at its plants in Mississippi and Ontario, Canada this week ahead of the planned start of sales in September. What's more, the refreshed 2014 Tundra pickup has also segued into production in San Antonio, Texas.
Corolla production in Mississippi is still a relatively recent phenomenon, with the plant having begun assembly of the outgoing model in the fourth quarter of 2011, while Toyota's Cambridge, Ontario plant has been churning out the compact volume king since 1988. Conversely, the Tundra has been in production at the Texas facility since 2006, and Toyota projects that the plant will build its milestone one-millionth new vehicle in September, right around the time the reworked fullsize pickup goes on sale.
Toyota to shock with Supra concept for Detroit Auto Show?
Fri, 06 Dec 2013We've written about approximately 187,000 rumors about a return of the Toyota Supra to the land of living cars. There are a couple of good reasons for this: first, Toyota won't stop dropping hints about a new halo sports car. Late this summer, Toyota sales guru Kazuo Ohara called a Supra successor "one of the options we have" - a comment followed by a hint that there would be "better news" on the subject in the future.
The second reason for all the Toyota tales is, of course, that we all have missed the Supra since its departure from the US market in 1998. So, when a member of the Autoblog team is party to a nudge-and-wink-filled conversation about a new Supra concept headed to January's Detroit Auto Show, we tend to listen up.
A 400+ horsepower hybrid sports car would match up pretty well with the upcoming NSX.
Toyota, Lexus expanding Takata airbag recall, re-notifying customers
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Toyota is re-notifying owners and expanding its Takata airbag inflator recall for some regions. The renewed campaign covers 247,000 examples of the Toyota Corolla, Matrix, Sequoia, Tundra and Lexus SC430 that are located in southern Florida, along the Gulf Coast, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, the US Virgin Islands, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa. All of the models come from the 2001-2004 model years and have potentially faulty Takata-made inflators on the front passenger side. According to the company, testing shows the problem warrants "immediate action," and its press release says, "this action intensifies Toyota's efforts to reach customers and remedy previously recalled vehicles, and a small number of newly included vehicles."
According to Toyota, it submitted some recalled inflators to Takata for testing, and it found a high probability of rupturing in high humidity areas. The automaker said it had no reports yet of injuries or fatalities related to the problem.
This is Toyota's third inflator recall this year. In June, it called in for repair the same vehicles from the 2003-2005 model years in high-humidity areas, and it conducted a separate campaign nationwide for the parts in additional models. In April 2013, it also announced a fix campaign for 1.73-million vehicles worldwide for the same issue.
