Description:

1989 Toyota Supra Black

I am parting with one of my beloved Supra's, this is a Florida Car, I restored this automobile to a beautiful near stock condition. The following has been done to the engine over the last 18 months:
Rebuilt engine
redecked the block & head
HSK multi layered metal head gasket
3 inch down pipe
removed most of the emissions
double capacity aluminum radiator
130 amp alternator
New break master cylinder and Boost unit
new AC compressor/dryer
new timing belt/cam seals
new upper and lower engine gaskets
All 4 wheel drilled/slotted disks and ceramic pads
Manual boost controller
New power steering pump
Changed out transmission fluid 24 months ago, shifts smoothly
Front window has a 100% UV protection film, side and rear windows professionally tinted, no bubbling.
It has a few items that need to addressed, but nothing major, the car needs a new rack and pinion because of a bad internal seal it has no power steering. The rear hatch needs new hatch shocks, I have them but never installed them. The speedometer is off by 15 mph and the RPM gauge needle is high, it idles fine but reads high.
I have an extra instrument cluster I'll send out with this car too.
The car makes great power, I took it on a 600 mile trip to the Smokey Mountains last summer and it was a great trip, the turbo made those mountains look like a Key West hill.. I keep the car garaged and I'll drive it locally 2 or 3 times a week, the only time it's exposed to rain is if I get caught out in a pop up storm. If your looking at purchasing a Supra I strongly recommend garaging it. The car has no rust, I rate the interior a 9 out of 10, it also has a double din Jensen radio, it can play movies and takes CD's, 4gig SD cards, or memory sticks.
I been stripping Supra's for the last 5 years down here, I estimate I stripped over 30 of them always taking off good condition parts and hard to get parts which is why this car looks the way it does, I changed out everything that needed to be replaced when I first purchased this car. There is going to be a discrepancy with the true mileage, the frame it's self has about 157,000, the engine since rebuilding about 6000, I had to replace the speedometer a few years ago, it broke, the one in there right now is fine but its off by 15mph when your going 60, I do have a complete extra instrument cluster for this car.
The engine in this car is a JDM engine which had 45,000 miles on it, when I got it it had a blown head gasket which required me to rebuild it in the end, it's a good, strong running engine.
If your seriously looking for a MK III Supra one of the most important things to consider is if the engine has had it's head gasket change, a changed with a metal head gasket at that, because if it's doesn't have a multi layered metal head gasket, that engine will blow through a conventional head gasket again and again. Another thing with this cars engine is I had it redeck and head shaved, this make for a flush perfect seal for the metal head gasket, if the deck and head have any flaws in them you'll get a bad seal with the metal head gasket.
I'm asking $9500 because all the expensive work has been done on this car, you go and purchase a $3K to $5K Supra I can pretty much guarantee you'll wind up sinking another 6 to 7 thousand into it, I own two of these automobiles presently and owned one 20 years ago, I know all the issues with them.
