Rust free is most important. It's crazy that a few years ago these were $1,000-4,000 cars. The insane trajectory of MkIV prices and Japanese classics in general has made them go crazy. Good buy! It's sad the 7M never got to shine here because of the head torque issues. At least it's a well understood issue now.
Great find! Toyota is dear to me, I worked in the manufacturing of them for 22 years! I've been to all their North American factories and their quality has always been awesome! Great addition to your line up of cars!
I appreciate your taste in cars. I myself love musclcars, having owned a 70 Camaro 350 and 79 Trans Am 400 4speed WS6 Package. I was originally looking into the 2nd generation Supras when I started doing research on the 3rd generation and I agree that I love them. Hopefully I’ll find a good one for a decent price.
"Too Bubbly" were the exact words I was thinking before you said that. I love the eighties Japanese cars especially the ones with pop up head lights. I can't wait to see you ripping this around.
I just got an all original 88 targa top 5 speed 7MGTE with only 27k miles on it... It cost me buying lunch for a coworker to grab it with his flat bed. The guy was just happy to have it gone.
REALLY good guide dude. Should be mandatory for anyone buying an MKIII to watch this and Hagerty's guide. Obviously it's hard to go in the "expert" on MKIIIs for sale before you've owned one. I basically went in blind with my 1988 NA Auto purchase last year, but it was also in REALLY good shape. Interior is some of the best I've seen from these and outside looked great too (as it should for $8,000 lol) It was a garage queen which showed because just ONE month out in the sun, both bumpers started cracking and peeling their paint, not going to be cheap to re-paint those. I was lucky enough that the guy had the headgasket replaced (Is there any easy way to tell if they used ARP studs?) and all the valves redone. The 7M-GE is less problematic than the GTE, so I'm crossing my fingers. One issue I did have 5 months into owning it was major power steering leaks. The shop charged me a hell of a lot for those hoses and it's not something I think you can really check for unless you get an inspection. All in all, It's not only the most amazing car I've ever owned, it's the best one I've seen hands down inside and out. After fulling converting to LED and with back/quarter window louvers, she looks like nothing else on the road and you can just feel the presence of it as everyone looks. It's a blast to drive and extremely comfortable. Hope you treat her right! EDIT: I laughed my ass off when you pointed to the seatbelt strap and stated they are always broken, you clearly know your MKIII's, they almost always are, both mine included.
Yeah if you take one of the valve covers off and you look stock bolts have a 10mm Allen, ARP bolts use a hex head, and ARP studs use a stud driven in by a small Allen key and hex nuts. If you do that double check torque specifications 72 for ARP bolts and OEM bolts, and 80 for ARP Studs. Lol I have owned many mk3 Supras over the years and only 2 where good examples. I love the cars b/c The incredible balance between luxury and GT performance, and for the most part very high-quality build. But there are definitely things that are always damaged or missing. Never once have I ever seen the plastic shroud that sits below the engine for better aerodynamics, nor a clean original center console lid.
@@LunarOutlawsGarage Oh the huge plastic skid guard that screws in under the car's engine? yeah I totally have that. Though within 5 months of owning it, it tried to leave the car, I screwd it back. My center console is immaculate. Just wish there were cup holders. Even the steering wheels is in extremely good shape. I gotta take care of her!
Hi from uk bryan👋👍 you werent kiddin either 👌 I am not disappointed at this at all👍 worth the wait to see. What a great example of a car that needs a bit tlc👍 oh boi I love older cars! I say cars changed properly about 1996 they jist didnt feel the same but 80's and early 90's are great machine earlier than that they deserve to respected for the way they introduced transport to whole new ball game👍 but the blue one on web there is amazing 😍 love the leather blue on blue😍 cant wait till you do have 3 should leave this one turbo supercharge black one and have a 3rb na bet the experience of all three wpuld be unique 👍 and mind them.leaves falling too😂 loud cars and winter fall seems to be the normal thing these days cant wait to see the future for this one👍 thanks for your time and be safe see you soon👍👋
It took a few years to coordinate picking this car up and I got to say I was not disappointed at all. That entire time I never seen a single photo of it
Ah The 3rd Gen Supra. A very attractive series. I had the chance to drive one with the turbo 7M-GTE in it and that was the first car that I had driven that pushed my butt back in the seat when flooring it. It is too bad that this generation Supra and the Cressida of the same era were kneecapped by the factory due to not torqueing the head bolts down causing head gasket issues and engine damage if the owner does not discover the head gasket issue before it overheats the engine or ruins the bearings due to the coolant in the oil. The thing I also like is that it is not a Mark 4 Supra which looks too much like a bloated toad. There is a lot to like about Japanese cars. Mainly fuel injection (no carbs to screw with). I would love to see a fully stock and great shape first generation Mitsubishi Eclipse. Those were the cars to have. in 1990 when the Eclipse, Laser and Talon came out, it was like a breath of fresh air. So sleek. I loved the sound the doors made closing
Lol I like that bloated toad. I generally say it looks like it was a bar of soap that was left in the sink for a little too long. The Mitsubishi eclipse always seem to be completely butchered these days.
The Toyota built Supras are the best! It’s an 86? Sorry if you said. I didn’t catch it. That’s a sweet car. I’m glad you’re keeping it original. If you’re after a mopar, Ought to see what the guys at Gràveyard Carz in Oregon can do for ya.
when you said HKS and APR brands reminds me of the first 2 fast and furious films parts brands all it need left is a Greddy turbo system and Motec exhaust Toyo Tires and K&N filters and N.O.S. Also is this the car you were talking bout on Saturday.
Sounds like you made a great deal, when you have the knowledge and know what to look for, good for you. Always Watching not always commenting. Central California Watching
That would be really awesome! I’m hoping to start restoration work on that car this winter. It would be cool to have an original deck. Please email me at LunarOutlaw@gmail.com with the specifics.
i hate to say but they aren’t that expensive. yes they’re FAR too expensive but not 22k for a clean one. i bought mine summer of 23 for 5,500 and it was in damn good condition too. rust free from louisiana
Yup the car is incredibly complete. I would have the car back together the other day but I was missing the banjo bolt and washers for the cold start. Picked them up Bingington Toyota on Wednesday
hello after i heard u getting 1 more and putting jz i said to myself i need to sub right away so i did, now will patiently wait for the swap thanks for all the other info , by the way i just got 1992 mk3 and i will see it in about 2 months but already am thinking of swap i might do 2jz rocks
What about the 1970 hemi Cuda‘s that were made in Ontario which was still technically part of the United Kingdom. Open till 1982 and the “Canada Act 1982” at which point it finally became independent of the British parliament. so technically speaking a lot of Chrysler products actually British😂😂 odd
Definition of muscle car : any of a group of American-made 2-door sports coupes with powerful engines designed for high-performance driving. I’d say by definition that’s correct but I think it could a “gray” area because it fits the other areas Food for thought??
Just like them redefining Pluto as a dwarf planet, I do believe the definition that you presented is flawed in a very large way. They redefined Pluto as a dwarf planet, because it can’t in fact use its gravity well to move things out of this orbital path. If you were to take the Earth and put it in the same orbital path as Pluto, it would have that same problem. Any definition that could redefine the Earth as a dwarf planet is not a very good definition. So, where am I going with this you may ask? Well, they did have straight six muscle cars and, any definition that could preclude Chrysler products like the Challenger, Road Runner or Hemi Cuda as a muscle car, is flawed. Challengers produced after 2007 were produced in Ontario, Canada, and some of the 1970 Hemi Cuda, Road Runners, Challengers, and Chargers were also produced in Canada. Canada may be America’s hat, but it is in fact not America.

Bryan, in the industry a moon roof has a clear panel while a sun roof has a painted panel.
I was corrected along time ago by forum people calling it a moon roof. But I just opened the original sale brochure and you are correct sir.

Thanks my friend how have you been?

Good and busy, I'm the mechanic on family almond ranch, fabrication, maintenance and repair.
The targa top version is the heaviest. The 1g gte version weighs 3200lb.
I have the og cassette unit if you want one. My car was garage kept in arizona and is in almost new condition. I got lucky.

That is a nice find there brother you got a good deal on that supra and in great shape also exterior and interior
Love the video looking at getting myself one once the prices go down on used cars and paint match it to my A91 edition
Yeah they’re going through the roof right now. It is nuts what cars are going for
Nice walk around and commentary. Have a good day bud.
Thanks, you too!
Any updates on the v10 truck? I thought that was a cool project. It is nice to see most of your projects are driveable.
Nice find good luck with it.
Thanks 👍
Bought mine this summer with the same issues as yours for 4000$ CAD, great video
Ty man what year and color did you find?
@@LunarOutlawsGarageit’s a red 1987 turbo and it’s manual too!
Nice score. Real car guys/gals aren't snobs towards foreign makes. I love my Chevelle, but also enjoy driving the tires off my Nissan Sentra SE.
That’s a cold hard facts!
I got one in U.K. thew weeks ago it’s mint needs a paint correction thou
Dude nice find!
Fullly stock even got the radio with the code lol 😂
And put a little 22re in it with a small hair dryer.
How's the old school Buick my friend. By the way vice grip garage need are help. There place got broken to. And some things where stolen.
Man I’m excited to see the comparisons
It will be neat to see how much of an improvement I have made
Always wanted an early 70’s corolla
Love it! I am a Supra lover! I always wanted a 85-99 .
They were pretty quick for the day
Great Find Man, What A Cool Ride….
Thanks man. It’s always need to find a car 30 years or older that’s virtually all original
i hate to say but they aren’t that expensive. yes they’re FAR too expensive but not 22k for a clean one. i bought mine summer of 23 for 5,500 and it was in damn good condition too. rust free from louisiana
That's your heat shield for your turbo in the front passenger side floor!
Yup the car is incredibly complete. I would have the car back together the other day but I was missing the banjo bolt and washers for the cold start. Picked them up Bingington Toyota on Wednesday
I paid 500 for the red one 600 for the white one and 800 for my old black one the price of them now is crazy
I'm trying to get a 95 dodge intrepid.
In a toyota iprefer the 22 r motor

That is actually stock on the 91 and 92 Supra.
@@terpsfan6179 I just looked at some pictures. You are right. I thought that logo came out way later than that. Thanks
Consider we talk about a Cuda

That is awesome. I am particularly partial to the 89’s specifically ones made after the midyear upgrade. They’re getting hard to find.
I would NOT consider that to be a

: any of a group of American-made 2-door sports coupes with powerful engines designed for high-performance driving.
I’d say by definition that’s correct but I think it could a “gray” area because it fits the other areas
Food for thought??
I’m talking about the 1uz swap car. I agree the red stock is not a “muscle car”.
