We can go run it again right now if you'd like 🙂)

This is my 1989 Toyota Supra MK3. I purchased it from the second owner, who bought it from the original owner in 2000. The car is incredibly clean, hardly driven, and well maintained. The paint is original, though a little faded. This car is a relic and almost all original except for a couple things.
1) If you know a little about MK3 Supras, you'll know that these rear lights are the correct for the year of the car. These particular lights are off a 1992 model. The last owner preferred that style but also included the original tails with the car.
2) The outside of this car is nearly pure, but the heart of this car is something other than the 7M or 1JZ you might traditionally find in this car. The owner I bought this car off of told me a story about the car and so this is what I know. Back in 1998 the original owner (who also took amazing care of this car) started experiencing problems with the 7M and eventually let it sit until it was purchased in 2000. The new owner got the car back into running shape, but decided that he wanted more power for his money, yet something that was still in the engine family. In 2002 he did an engine swap to a VVTi 2JZGTE. The car still has this, as well as a 5 Speed Manual transmission.
This is a car that I'd like to keep for a long time after hearing the heritage of it. The driving experience of this car is amazing. I'm going to refresh the car, maybe bring it's paint back to original glory and do the usual suspension and wheels. I'd like to bring it back to the time of the early 2000s. Not in the Fast and Furious ricer styling, but in period correct wheels and simpler things.
Oh and I sold my foxbody for something that just got to my shop today. It's crazy, stay tuned.
