I've decided to list my beloved '97 Supra twin turbo manual for sale as I recently purchased a C6 ZR1 and need to help make room in the garage for my new GT3 (991.2) that will be arriving soon. This Supra is one of the lowest mileage examples for sale in the world (33,200 original as of this writing), but the main highlight is the overall condition and the fact that it's essentially all original and unmolested. You just simply don't find unmodified Supra's like this anymore. The car is immaculate. It's conservatively a 9/10 grade with all original body, interior, glass, and paint (with the exception of the front and rear bumpers being resprayed for rock chips/minor cosmetic flaws). There has been well over 50 hours put into meticulously detailing and correcting the paint finish over the past couple years to really bring out the natural gloss and depth of the original paint. It looks like a black mirror and is quite a stunning sight to see in person. As expected, all original VIN tags are in place including both front and rear impact beams. No accidents or other history related issues of any kind. The interior is all original and essentially flawless in all aspects with extremely minimal wear and still smells like new.

The car is primarily stock besides an intake and 4" turboback exhaust by 2JZ Motorsports, which makes the car sound great. The original 2JZ-GTE engine has never been modified. It has no aftermarket electronics or boost controllers, and the original dash panels have never been cut or altered. The car is an original twin turbo JZA80 chassis auto with a professionally installed low mileage V160 that was done correctly by a specialized Supra shop in Austin, TX very early in the cars life. In terms of mechanical condition, the car is like new and doesn't need anything. It runs flawlessly and the compression is perfect. It has been meticulously maintained by longtime Supra gurus and ALL preventative maintenance has already been completed within the last 1,500 miles using all brand new OEM Toyota parts. This was over $5,000 total worth of parts and labor including front and rear main seals, valve stem seals, timing belt, water pump, clutch/flywheel, spark plugs, wires, all fluids, brake calipers, rotors, pads, as well as many other misc. seals, gaskets, and other small maintenance related items that were recommended. Needless to say it's more than ready to go for its new owner.

I've had a few private offers from local friends and other fellow enthusiasts over the past few months but I'm having a VERY hard time parting ways with the car. A '97 black on black twin turbo six speed has always been my dream Supra and is now essentially irreplaceable at this point in terms of condition and mileage. I don't need to sell the car and will happily keep it if I'm unable to find the right buyer near this price range. I understand this is a premium price, but the car is a premium example with very few existing cars having even somewhat comparable condition and mileage. The car is sure to appreciate well beyond my asking price in the coming years. I've owned five MKIV turbos over the last ten years and this one is by far my favorite and easily the cleanest and most special.

I apologize for such a long listing but I'm in love with this car and only want to sell it to someone who will love and appreciate it as much as I have, and continue to take great care of it for many years to come. Unsurprisingly I've had several tire kickers and disingenuous offers so please only contact me if you're sincerely interested in purchasing the car or know someone who may be. I'm the third owner (Autocheck history report mistakenly shows more) and have owned the car for several years. If you're a serious buyer please feel free to contact me directly for any additional details, maintenance info, history reports, specifics photos/videos, etc. This is a zero disappointments Supra and a very rare opportunity for someone.

$69.5k firm on stock wheels. Clean and clear title in hand. The set of Kinesis forged wheels are extremely rare and worth around $5k with tires. I'm willing to sell the car with both sets of wheels for $75k obo.

 

Just to be clear this wasn't originally a 6 speed manual car, correct?

 

Yes it clearly says that in the ad if you read it

The car is an original Twin Turbo chassis which is what really matters.
