Well I went to go change an elderly ladies flat tire today via my craigslist mechanics ad, And when I pulled into her driveway first thing she said to me was I have one of these sitting out back, not thinking much of it I changed her tire. Then she asked me if I wanted to see her supra. (expecting to see a rusted out rust box) I said ok. First off she's had this car for the last 15yrs and its been sitting in her barn for the last 8yrs, covered with tarps. So I pull the tarp away and it is a mint white 89 Supra with a tinted glass targa top yes a glass top in beautiful condition, with the not so beautiful burgundy interior, but the interior is also mint, and when i say mint i mean mint no cracks in the dash no rips in the seat. And then I noticed on the back of the car it had Twin Turbo badges :aigo: so i popped the hood and low and behold it has a 1jzgte. My mind was running a mile a minute, i ask her whats wrong with it she said the motor is blown then she takes me to another garage and she has an extra 1jzgte sitting on a crate, with a NIB clutch next to it. I asked her what she plans on doing with the car. She said if you want it its yours I just want it off my property, apparently this was her car that she bought off someone 15 yrs ago the engine developed a knock she parked it its been there ever since. Her husband was suppose to fix the car but then unfortunately died, so the car just sat. I am super excited to get this thing on the road and feel truly blessed.
Only question I have is, Was there ever a US model mk3 that came with a 1jzgte? Or was this someones creation.
