Vehicle Detail
For Sale: 1983 Toyota Celica Supra. This vehicle is becoming very rare on the streets. It was Toyota's top Luxury Sports car and is loaded with many features which were cutting edge in 1983. Features: 2.8 liter inline-6 cylinder DOHC engine. 5Speed Manual transmission, Speed-sensitive power rack and pinion steering. Four wheel disc brakes. Independent Rear Suspension. Limited Slip Differential. Interior features factory Recaro bucket seats, 8-way adjustable for the driver. Automatic Climate Control, Power Moon Roof, Cruise Control, basically, Power "Everything". Current Condition of the Car: The a/c blows cold, and has a brand new Toyota brand compressor with a fresh charge of freon. The power windows both roll up and down....a little slow sometimes. The Cruise did work a while back..didn't the other day. Could be simple fix ? The power moon roof works, radio annt..goes up and down fine. The radio has been replaced with a Sony CD player and some 6x9 boxes in the luggage area. The engine runs great and is very smooth and quiet. I drove this car from Washington DC to Tucson AZ back in September without a single problem! I had it checked out first and replaced the front brakes and did a tune-up at that point. The tires are fairly new BfGoodrich TAs and have lots of life left. The five speed and the clutch engage solidly and the brakes are fantastic. I got an average of 24 MPG on that trip averaging around 80 miles per hour. (3000 miles in four days!) It is an enjoyable car to take on a road trip. Modifications: The exhaust has been replaced from the cat-convertor back and has a Magnaflow twin-tip canister that is just a bit louder than grandpa likes and perhaps not loud enough for teenagers. Also, the car has been lowered about 1.5" on high quality Suspension Technique Springs made in Germany. This car handles very nice and rides smooth without any bouncing around like you might expect a lowered car. It also has an aftermarket cone-style cold air intake setup. No other modifications I know of. Why I am selling: I have two of these cars and have chosen to keep the other one. Got to make room in the driveway. Things You should know: The paint work is not too good. Good enough for a driver, but not for showing off. The shifter is sloppy, but there is NO issues going in and out of gears. A bushing replacement will cure that problem. The a/c blows ice-cold, but there is some sort of problem in the dash that won't allow the air to come out to the front vents. It blows up on the windshield and down on the floor only. The timing belt and a head gasket were replaced years ago, but I don't know when that was. There is no issue, just good to check that out soon. The car burns a little oil like any 30 yr old car. It doesn't have any clicks or clatters or disturbing noises though, and runs super quiet except for that exhaust out back. There is nothing to keep you from driving this car home. Even long distances, however: I must say :it is a 30 yr old car and anything could happen. Your choice. Just a cool classic Japanese Grand Tourer to enjoy and care for! Please ask any questions through e-bay and if you are serious about the car, you can ask for my number.. Thanks and Good Luck Bidding!On May-06-13 at 18:01:25 PDT, seller added the following information: I had some questions about the car's oil pressure, etc...so I went out today and drove the car, took this picture of the gauges. You will notice the oil pressure, temp, and alternator are in good showing. This car drives very well despite the age. The rear axle does not whine like my other Supra, the steering is nice and tight....etc.. If you have any questions, please ask for my phone number through the E-bay message system, I will be glad to talk to you about the car. Thanks for looking!On May-10-13 at 22:38:01 PDT, seller added the following information: Just an update for folks watching or bidding on this car: I took the car to an emissions test here in Tucson this afternoon. The car passed with flying colors...just in case you live in a smog state. There have been questions about the title: I hold a clear Arizona title in my possession. Also, I will be available to answer any questions about the car tomorrow till the auction ends. five-two zero, 282, two three five seven. (ask for Jeff..) Good luck Bidding!
