Not bad...coincidently that's the just a little bit more than i paid for mine with just a little bit more milage on it.

I was watching that auction. Jokes aside, looks like an above avg car which sold for a decent price. It wldnt take much money or effort for me to get that car looking absolutely pristine. All the pieces are there, and have minimal wear, makes for an easy resto. It is rare to find unmolested mk2's these days, and undoing someone's else poor/sloppy mods can be a nightmare.
Anybody notice that tricky E-brake handle combo lock?
Not fair to compare the selling $$$ of this car with Malloys (my) car either. True, mine has nearly twice the mileage, but Bob got a mechanically well sorted car with a near-flawless new paint job. Add whatever wheels he choses and perf mods, and he's good to go. Another square deal in my book.
So is "[email protected]" here on this board? I've seen some really nice mk2's changing hands on ebay, but find they dispapear b/c the buyers arent on our forum

Yea, I noticed that e-brake lock too.
Anyone noticed the white 85 on autotrader.com for $14, 500. I did several weeks ago and emailed the seller to ask if it was a typo?!! :shock:
The seller was offended that I questioned his price. He wrote, "It is a collector's car and I really don't need to sell it."
Very Strange.
Chris,
Ahhh, It seems I was mis-informed several years ago by a Toyota dealer's senior mechanic about the shifter knob being leather on all Supras. When I purchased my 84 seven years ago, there was just the naked knob except for a small leather strip circling the gear diagram. I could never figure out what this was, but I now realize this is what was left of the entire leather wrap.
Anyway, the 85 I just bought has a nice leather knob. However, I felt the need to order an extra one from Toyota for my personal inventory, as well as an extra center arm-rest cover. I feel these items may become scarce.
