Hey guys, a couple weeks ago I asked about black supra production #'s, and since then I have been searching for my supra! Anyways, as someone pointed out, black supras aren't that rare, but anyone that has one is not willing to sell it :cry: In the past few weeks I have come across an ungodly amount of red and white supras for sale, a dark blue, brown, silver, pretty much every color, and even 3 teal ones! Two of the teals were even 92's...Good thing i have patience!:biglaugh:

It's Not Important Bro
I can tell by your post, you are getting impatient. Wat a while for the right car to come along. Trust me, you can find exactly what you want if you are patient.
I waited 6 months and never found a black manual. I found a black auto but I just wasn't going to settle for that, I wanted a manual trans. SInce then, the red my grown on me a lot but i'd trade my red for a black anyday.

Good Luck with your search !!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea, I'm getting really impatient! haha It has just been in the 80's here and I can envision myself rowing gears with the targa off :) I figure by waiting I'm simply saving insurance money! Hopefully that perfect car will show up soon.

Wait a bit or pay for it. I waited 2yrs until i found the one right for me and still wasnt exactly what I was searching for. I wanted an 89+ turbo 5spd in any color but black and ended up with a black 87 5spd turbo but it was too nice and a steal for what I paid for it.

i traded my tercel for a black supra 5spd, turbo with targa, needs a bit of body work tho, and came with factory and 17 inch motegi black rims, motor needed a bit of work but that didnt hold me back, now the car is running good. just take your time looking for things, it will get there some time if not, you could always paint the car black

There are LOTS of MKIII's here in Columbus, my bro actually has one too haha (blk 89T auto with 2nd BHG lol). I know of at least 6 other MKIII's, the sad part is NONE are running at the moment, they're either down from issues or simply.....mods.

The only reason I got a mk3 over a mkiv or a kouki S14 was because it was a black turbo 5spd.. it was sitting in one of the lesser parts of a neighboring town, and I paid too much for it then especially being that it was rod-knocked and had a decent amount of miles on the clock.. this car is my favorite though and that will likely never change.

GL with your search man.

I have current plans to sell my black 90T targa before the summer since I have no time to enjoy it. The car used to be owned by NJsupraA70.

I hardly use it and have only put in ~8K miles since I bought it from him (2006) b/c of my two young kids and had to settle with an accord wagon until I get a minivan for the family.

Installed a brand new Power steering (didnt come with it when purchased), EGR system, and A/C system (new fittings). Recently added Brembo blanks with Porterfield R4S pads all around with Goodridge SS brake lines.

Yea I could see that happening, all the mk3s I see on craigslist are torn apart, bhg, etc......but I since this will be my 2nd car I know it will have downtime being modded too! I will join the club of nonrunning vehicles lol

thanks! After I sold my charger I found a black nonturbo auto in a muffler shop lot, and even with the rusted body the thing was just pure sex. So for the past few months I have been looking every single day for the right car.
