No problem with the thread jack, but I STILL DON'T SEE ANY CLEAN LATE YEAR MK3'S WITH SHADOW GREY!!!!

I’m not new to car forums but it’s my first post in this one so hey OP and everyone at SM. I’ve owned two ’87 non-turbos, one light blue w/dark blue int and a maroon w/gray, and an ’89 turbo targa maroon w/lt gray…all manual trans. By about ’97 they were sold and I got into M3s starting w/a ’95 and now have an ’05 (http://www.m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=206519).
So it’s been a while since I’ve owned a Supra…but I’ve always liked them and they still look cool.

One of my ’87s I got from my Dad who was a Supra guy before me. Then he spec’d and ordered this ’92 turbo targa, black on shadow grey, manual trans, and it currently has 59k orig miles w/no accidents and completely stock. He even got the ’92 factory Toyota shop manual. I remember how my ’89 turbo used to feel faster to me than his ‘92…always thought it was because he never spooled up the turbo enough and took it easy all the time. Unfortunately a few weeks ago he passed and now it’s in my garage. While it’s brought back a lot of nice memories I don’t think I’m going to keep it and trying to assess its value.

To the OP I saw the same one you posted and was surprised at the selling price. I was thinking ones like this would be more like just under $10k…even with the year, specs, condition and mileage. But either way I found this forum after some searching and the timing for your thread was perfect. So here it is…

While we are IF'ing........IF the story was completely true!, and IF I had the cash, I'd drop that kind of coin on the car. I too, am hoping that he gets it. My 92 has just under 100,000, and is Shadow Grey....Cloth

That's harsh. Its one thing to say that in that guys thread, but that's just low to do it elsewhere. Keep those comments in his thread.

First off, welcome to Supramania, should post up in the introductions section with some pictures of the Bimmers. Second, sorry to hear of your father's passing, looks like he took very nice care of that car, if you don't intend to keep it, I'm sure someone would give it a good home. I personally wouldn't set the price even a dollar less than $10,000 for that.

I have a 1987 Turbo...21K miles...also a 1988 MR2 with 51K miles. Both are mostly stock except exhaust, suspension and brake upgrades. Not show room mint condition but pretty nice.

I also know of a guy who owns a 91 NA Supra with 16K miles and a 88 Superchared MR2 with only 14K. So they are out there...just hard to come by...and even harder to find for sale.

The parts that make it valuable are 92, shadow grey, turbo, unmolested.

It's tough to find two of those, let alone all 4 in one car.

IMO that 92 is far from unmolested, the entire engine has been worked thru and the quality of work is unknown.

I'll have to post up some pics of my 92 in this thread.
