Vehicle Description
This 1987 Toyota Supra is part of the new great class of vintage
cars that comes with a rev-happy modern multi-valve motor and
plenty of modern conveniences. But now that it nears the 30-year
threshold, it also is eligible for classic car insurance. And when
it's as nicely presented as this example, it also has earned its
spot on the show field.
This generation of the Supra was an instant hit the moment it first
hit the scene in the late 1980s. Flip-up headlights gave it plenty
of legitimacy in an era when even the slant-nosed Porsche 911
offered the flat front end appearance. But the front air dam,
full-length power bulge hood, and sleek hatchback design gave the
Supra its own distinctive and very aggressive personality. This
looks fantastic on the car today thanks to the condition of the
glossy factory-correct black. The brown trim even still runs from
the fenders and wraps around the rear in the correct original
fashion. It's this exceptional level of care and preservation you
see over the whole car, right down to the factory 16-inch alloy
wheels that look like they've never done battle with a curb.
The moment you open the door, you realize the trim lines on the
outside are part of a great bridge to the interior color. The tan
leather in this coupe looks exceptionally nice. After all, in a
vehicle that has averaged less than 1,400 miles annually, the low
odometer means little seat time. In fact, from the moment you sit
down, the leather-wrapped factory wheel has that unmistakable of
both premium and performance. As Toyota's flagship sports car, this
came with loaded with features like power windows, power locks,
power driver's seat, and the original AM/FM/cassette stereo system.
Toyota also knew you might just enjoy driving this performance
machines a practical daily driver, so you also get features like
cruise control and automatic climate control w/R134a air
conditioning.
The 3.0-liter DOHC V6 is truly a marvelous motor. With around 200
horsepower on tap, this fuel-injected, multi-valve powerplant loves
to rev, and it makes a wonderful guttural growl at full throttle.
You get to make the most out of all this by the total control of
the five-speed manual transmission. This drivetrain proved to be
virtually indestructible in the real world, and while they respond
well to modifications, this numbers-matching original motor remains
completely stock. In fact, part of the appeal of a sports car like
this is it fires up as reliability and has the same everyday
usability as any other Toyota. It's backed up by great driving
features like the power steering. But the moment you feel like
hitting the open road, the fully independent sports suspension with
adjustable settings and four-wheel disc brakes remind you instantly
how the Supra has earned its racing stripes.
The new class of vintage cars is all about a nostalgic feeling
behind the wheel and offering all the modern comfort you could
want. This low-mileage and well-preserved Supra proves all of this
at a very nice price. Call today!!!
