1987 Toyota Supra Turbo Thanks for checking out my Rare, 1987 Toyota Supra Turbo. These cars are very hard to find in this condition, extremely low original miles, 60, 280 - original paint, original interior (very few built with factory leather), a true survivor, 230hp Twin Cam Intercooled Turbo, 5spd, Rear Wheel Drive, TEMS, with full independent suspension. The original owner, was in the US Navy, and he had it for 5 years. He loved this car, he purchased Toyota Supra Seat covers and Supra car cover at dealer, which are included with the sale, rear louvers. He also had Toyota install a HKS Turbo Timer. This car also is unique because it is a coupe, non targa, the coupes are very desirable hard to find, because they were stiffer, and much better for really getting out and driving, targa's had a lot of body flex. His best friend said, if you ever sell that Supra, I want to own it. In 1992 he decided to sell it with around 40K on it and handed his friend the keys. The second owner used the car sparingly, he did drive it, he did enjoy it, it is not a trailer queen, but it is a very nice example of one of these cars. He passed away a few years ago, this car was his pride and joy, really this was his trophy on the mantel. I was very fortunate to have this Supra parked in my garage. This car runs and drives excellent, super low miles, factory 5 spd, Independent Suspension with factory TEMS tuned suspension option, factory AC - BLOWS ICE COLD, this is truly an amazing car. Little History on the Toyota M Engine and Supra lineage. This the first year that Toyota put the Turbo on the M Series engine, very sought after. Configurations of the M series engine, date back all the way to 1965. Toyota's first really special world class super car, was the 1967-70 Toyota 2000GT, which was a very powerful straight 6 engine, called the 2M. The prototype car started in 1965. Carroll Shelby actually built 2- 1968 2000GT's for SCCA racing. They only built 351 one of these 2000GT's. The Toyota Supra, is a direct continuation of these cars. The original Supra, was built off the Celica Mark 1. In 1986, Toyota changed the name to Supra, and the 7M-GE 3.0 engine arrived at this time. For 1987, Toyota decided to do something very special to these cars, this Option was long awaited for, the 7M-GTE Turbo. They wanted to compete with some of the legends of the 80's like the Corvette, Porsche, RX7 Turbo, Mustang GT/Saleen. These cars are very special, very hard to find. They put out 230HP, 30 more HP then the base 3.0 engine 7M-GE. I grew up falling in love with cars in the 80's when I was in high school, one of my best friends mom, traded in her 86 Supra, for the new 87 Supra Turbo, when I saw it at their house the day after they brought it home, I was just in awe, what a beautiful car, and the test ride, can't believe they let me rid in the passenger seat, it was a 16 year old dream, what an amazing car. I obviously buy and sell classics for a living, but I buy and my memories, the cars I wish I could have back in the day, and this is one of those cars. I have been selling classic cars here on eBay since 2003, 12 years now, with around 500 classic cars sold over the internet, with 100% Feedback. What I love about these old cars, is that I get to own some of my favorite cars one at a time, I have turned this passion into a business, but for me it is an awesome time to enjoy the cars themselves. It has been such a joy to do business with people all over the world. I have sold multiple cars to many buyers all over from Europe, Dubai, Australia, Japan, Brazil, just to name a few. It has always been a pleasure, getting to know other car enthusiast all over the Continent, especially some that have become very good friends of mine because of our love for cars. I look forward to doing business here on ebay for many years to come, and look forward to meeting some other like minded classic car nuts like myself. If you would like to call me and talk about the car, that would be great, would love to help you out, if you want to call and talk about cars, it would be my pleasure, I am on the hunt for any Interesting classics, please give me a call, 503-910-2085 - Jason.
