Worth seeing: Brand new 1990 Turbo Targa

[johnathan1]

I would pay $50k for a LHD JZA70 like that, but not for a 7m.

O_O...that coming from the 7M master himself?? Damn, my 7M just dropped in value...lol.

[LilMissMkIII]

Wowsers!!!!!!!!!!!

If i had plenty of cashola laying around, i would grab that in a heartbeat!!!!!!

 

[Kckazdude]

Very nice find. Wonder where it has been.

 

[MDCmotorsports]

^Im wondering the same..... Where do you store a car like that for umpteen years....

 

[GeneStarWindGSW]

The Batcave :biglaugh:
Aaron is just tired of all the 7m problems
he love his wittle 1jz

 

[Silvasoup]

Anyone want to go halves with me on it? We can store it in my garage so it will be safe.

 

[Keros]

I'm going to go view it this weekend... just so I can say I was there

That car has been around Southern Alberta since new. Someone bought and put it in a Quonset to store it (as the story goes). The first time i remember hearing of it was in 1999 or 2000 as it was up for auction then with 92 KM on it. It has been up for auction since then as well. IMO they should put it upstairs in henninger Toyota with all the other classics they have up there.

Its hard to believe that my car ever had good paint like that.
They should derinetly keep it in storage.

 

[WhtMa71]

Wow that thing looks nice. Its soooo clean, well besdies the dust all over it ... ::looks at my 89 outside..... ::

 

[Stanzaspeed]

Too bad its targa... :hsugh:

very clean car though. i wonder why it just sat in storage for so long. amnesiac own it or something? either way it should be a museum piece.

 

[figgie]

Clean! But for $50k :aigo: , you could do a factory-like (or better) full restore, all new parts for a couple of Supras.

but it will NEVER EVER Fetch as much as when the parts are OEM. Ask any car restorer which is worth more. A "restored" car or a car that still has all OEM parts with same or higher mileage. OEM will always fetch more.

 

[americanjebus]

its got sawlbadz. i would not pay $50k for a car on sawblades. srry.

 

[adampecush]

I could not imagine how great it would be working on that car. Bolts would actually come off, and everything has the nice yellow shine of zinc dichromeate/cadmium plating...

its definitely jaw-dropping. i wonder how many others are hidden around the world.

its definitely jaw-dropping. i wonder how many others are hidden around the world.

id guess barely a handful, if any more exist at all.

i think there was another supra that was pretty much the same shape and mileage on e-bay a year or two ago.

seeing cars like this always makes me wonder, who buys a brand new car, and then simply parks it?

 

[TurboWarrior]

I heard a story locally about one that was purchased and immediately put into an enviromentally controlled box and it was sold recently. Not sure what drives these people. Its not a lot of money you're making for the cost of storing and all the years it takes.

 

[marc3]

awsome, if i had lots 'o'money, i would buy it for sure!!!
somepeople don't know what to do with they're money, so they buy something they like, or many things, and store them like such!!
