had to buy it.......wife loves it!!!
ebay strikes again!!!!! i was looking for a car to use as a daily driver when i returned to the states after working in iraq and ran across 'the one'. searching through ebay motors for a supra, i found the one i was looking for. it's a 1989 supra turbo with 117,000 miles on the body and only 200 miles on the newly replaced engine. the owner was selling it so he could expand his business. i was chatting with him about what was done to the car and he gave me a brief history. the car was originally purchased in nevada so there's no rust. new engine and everything old and rotted was replaced with new parts. i will be the 3rd owner and can't wait to drive it when i get back to the states. i also had purchase a abc hobby supra body a while back so now i can paint and build it like the real thing. i'll either leave the real one stock or do some minor things to it, you never know........

The red interiour is nice! Quite rare I think? Most are blue or grey. I'm very jealous!

thanks. i think the rarest interior is the black leather, but i could be wrong.

you might want to look at the 2ltr twin turbo japanese model for any extra's on this car as they had quite a few bits not found on usa and euro supra's of the same shape

nice mkIII, I've had these before, and friends of mine had them as well, some of them put in 2JZ turbo engine form the mkIV, watch out for leaky head gaskets on these stock motors, I've had to replace a few myself, not fun, that and leaky targa top seals, but otherwise they're great cars, fine find, my friend!

Nice ride, very clean! Great color combo.

thanks for the comments everyone. this is the 9th supra i have owned since 1994. i had quite a few of the mk2 supras and this is my 3rd mk3 model. i'm well aware of the head gasket issue on the turbo engines, but if anything happens to the one in the car, a 2.5l twin turbo 1jz-gte will be taking it's place.

Very cool car, the classic white with burgundy combo. I would enjoy this one too.

Awesome import - these make great platforms for upgrading.

Awesome motor! I had one of these a few years ago, same colour too. Mine was mostly stock but you can easily boost them to approx 280bhp by fitting some washers under the wastegate.
