Vehicle Detail

1984 TOYOTA CELICA SUPRA MOTOR TREND CAR OF THE YEAR!! I purchased this car in 2008. When it is not being driven, it spends 100% of its time indoors and covered. It is the very definition of a garage queen! I am the second owner of this classic automobile. The first owner, a gentleman reaching retirement age, actually interviewed potential buyers to be sure his baby was going to a good home. I have kept in touch with him all these years, and he is always telling me he made the right choice when he sold it to me. Highlights from 2007 before I owned the car: Engine overhauled with new piston rings, crankshaft, all new bearings, and the valves were reseated. New oil pump, clutch, timing belt, new universal joints for the drive shaft. Tires rated for 60,000 miles (still have less than 10,000 miles of usage!) The interior is all original cloth, and is meticulously clean. Complete repainting The skirt trim is a special coating with a flexible chip-absorbing coat. New radiator As you can see, when I bought the car it was already in great shape. My contributions seem small by comparison, but here are some of the things I've done: realigned the hood replaced the hood emblem replaced the leather boot and the shift stick reupholstered the center arm rest replaced the seat trim replaced the antenna replaced the fog lights valve covers professionally restored with wrinkle coat replaced whiskers around the headlights dyed sun faded rear head rests I have had an absolutely wonderful time with this car. No car will ever be perfect, but this is pretty close for a 30 year old car, and it sure has been fun trying reach perfection. I've been lucky enough to have spent time with this car, which needed nothing more than a few cosmetic improvements. I've driven it like a true collector car. You know... sunny days on weekends kind of stuff. In fact, I've averaged under 750 miles per year. But they have been really fun miles! You'll see the car has earned "HISTORIC" plates from the State of New Jersey. Known issues: The ONE non-oem concession... an aftermarket oil pressure gage. The speedometer reads about 10% higher than actual speed. The black metal trim around the rear hatch window could use some touch-up Belt molding on side window (the small window behind the door) is chipped. Ever owned a collector car? I was very surprised to find out that my insurance was just $125 per year for some pretty decent coverage. I couldn't say what your rates would be, but if you treat it like a collector car you should go to a collector's insurance company. Second, I was pleasantly surprised to find a very helpful owner's group for these MK2 Supras. I have been able to ask questions, search for answers, find hard-to-find parts, and even attend meets to see what others are doing with their Supras. I highly recommend this community! Here’s a chance to own a very solid and historic collector car. Please check my feedback, which is at 100%, and bid with confidence. In fact, check my feedback since I joined eBay 17 years ago, and that too is at 100%. As this car is also available for sale locally, I reserve the right to end this auction early. Please don’t wait until the last minute and then lose out! Local pickup only. If you want to make arrangements to have a shipper pick up the vehicle, that certainly is okay. Good, cleared funds paid in full required before the vehicle is released. Title is in hand, free and clear. All costs of transfer, taxes, etc., are the buyer's responsibility.
