What is the RAREST MKIII Supra?

[MNBmk3T]

I wanted a 92 Teal so bad when i was trying to find my Supra. But for some odd reason no one wants to sell them
I would think in the North American market the 92 Teal Turbo Shadow Grey would be one of if not THE rarest.

Saw what I thought was a weird thing in the junk yard the other day,
A 1987 Supra na, with a power sunroof, that retracted INTO the car, and not above the roof.
I assumed it was aftermarket.

Sunroof on my Mk2 does that. It's neat and all, but I prefer the more common Mk3 Sunroof that angles up, like the FC3S sunroof. IIRC, the early model sunroof cars were an ASC conversion. Someone correct me if I'm mistaken.

Anyone here having dark green mica (code 6L9, almost black) in their 7M-powered MKIII? I've got that and it's quite rare over here in Europe. It's a '92 7MGTE A/T targa top with black leather / shadow gray interior. Plus it's European/German spec, which means: slotted front lip, folding mirrors, rear fog lights, white/amber turn signals and so on.
AFAIK, outside of Europe only the JZA70 got that color, but I might be wrong...

Sounds like a sweet car, I was unaware that 6L9 was ever offered on anything other than the JZA70. North America never even got that color...

Same way an 86 Supra was a MKII, and an 86.5 was a MKIII.
The 1993 Supra was a MKIII, and the 93.5 was a MKIV.

OOOOO, I learned something today. haha

+1, lol

My buddy's mom was driving a '92 turbo, red w/ grey leather and sunroof. I personally haven't seen another like it...it's in amazing condition. She traded it in for an '06 G35x because she couldn't fit the grandkids child seats in the back of the Supra. So now it's on their dealership's lot waiting for a Supra lover to pick it up. They don't have it listed cheap, but you'd be hard pressed to find one in nicer condition.

Mojagony Pearl 89's are probably the rarest, not too many of those around (yes that's a factory color with body-colored moldings)

As a collective, then 92's are not as rare as one may think, as there were only 1192 produced for NORTH AMERICA, there were many others around the world.

However, '93 MKIII's do exist, but in Japan only.

LOVE that color.
Didn't even know it was a factory option, as I've never seen one.

From what ive hear a 92 teal sunroof with shadow gray leather is the rareat combination. There a guy that has one in my town, and i have the targa cloth shadow gray 92 teal.

I'd give a testicle for a 92 Teal Leather.

I don't know about a testicle... cash will do just fine

 

[jonahs_supra]

also working factory r12 and 79xxx miles lol

Most have been fucked with so much over the years they're not worth anymore than any other Mk3, Mint unmolested cars are getting hard to find and even when they pop up tightasses try to low ball the owners... :nono:

Case in point, the many Turbo-A cars that have been fucked with and ruined.

 

[jonahs_supra]

mine was all stock...only mods are maft pro and cat back exhaust...which i still have old exhaust

It's all the little brackets clips and plastics that make a car "Mint" all that stuff most people throw in the bin...

A bud here has an 18,000 mile 87 LTD and I was amazed just how many extra bits there were from the Factory, my 86.5 NA car was low mile and clean when I got it but had been molested just the same by lazy mechanics over it's life...

Yep, all that have appeared on the forums seem only to share the name and not much else- 1UZ/ 1J transplants, etc.
I'm somewhat in the same conundrum- to mod or not to mod? I'm currently going with BPUs and replacing/ upgrading things that can easily be returned to stock (e.g. rims, intake). I don't intend to mod the body or pump guards. A shame though, as the market doesn't seem that great for them, well not yet at least.

Dear god I wish I could. I live kind of close to you too. You have a 92 Teal Shadow Grey Leather?

 

[seoul4korea]

Right Pretty crazy for city of 30000 people.

I'd give a testicle for a 92 Teal Leather.

From what I've seen of your posting, you'd give a fully loaded testicle to just about anything that moves.

I remember seeing a teal Mk3 pass through my town about 6 years ago, only one I've seen in person other than your car.

Yeup. Drove it all the way home from Tennessee. Flew down with my wife, bought it, and drove it home. It was a fun trip.
