Worth seeing: Brand new 1990 Turbo Targa

[mkiiSupraMan18]

PShh. perfect daily driver right there

^ you said a 7m was 'perfect'

Actually, looking at the engine bay pic. Not impressed at all. I've seen mkII's with MUCH cleaner looking engine bays that have been driven for many miles. Everything just looks... dirty and just generally crappy...

Is that rust in the bottom right corner?

*edit No. 2*
No, I guess it's just where the subframe bushing thing sits.

Clean! But for $50k :aigo: , you could do a factory-like (or better) full restore, all new parts for a couple of Supras.

WOW!!! That car need to stay there at that show room for the next xxxxxx of years. Well....of course it will be well maintained and taken cared of.

How much was it in 1990? I know it's been said before but how much is it after then->now inflation?

 

[ERA]

30k ish?

Assuming that in 1990, it was $28k. It would cost $45,573.02 to buy it in 2007.

Need to consider Canadian dollars. It was more than $28k.

I would buy a better car for 50,000 dollars.

But I would drive the piss out of this car

Sorry, Jeff. I was also assuming US $. But you could figure out the Canadian price and inflation, eh? :icon_razz

What's to maintain? Swiffer it twice a day?

 

[BlackMKIII]

Wow. I would do exactly what Brent suggested.

A FAT, SMOKEY BURNOUT!!!!

 

[johnathan1]

Wow, even though that car has never been driven...it's WAY past it's expiration date...look how all of the rubber parts are coated with white powder. That car would need a lot of work to it's mechanicals to be road worthy...IMO of course.

 

[Element256]

No 1j, no care.

 

[Jeff Lange]

I believe a lot of the stuff seen on the car is both dust and cosmoline/coatings from the factory. The car was not washed before being put in the showroom.

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

^ Lazy Canadians.

 

[Poodles]

that one IC pipe near the fender looks pretty bad though...

still...

about all I'd do is take the wheels off and clean the dust and crap off the suspension... have it sit in it's own climate and humidity controlled room and occasionaly go stare at it...

 

[supraguy@aol]

I thought the 90 models had the cruise controls relocated to the stalk, Jeff. Was it different for Canadian models, or am I just off in my recollection?


PS- The car is perfect. Sometimes the rubber parts develop a white grit to the surface over time, but the rubber is still 100% good. Just need to wipe it down and it'll look good for another 18 years.

 

[Jeff Lange]

It was moved to a stalk on the steering wheel when airbags were introduced. 1990 for the USA, 1992 for Canada.

 

[DonS1mpson]

50k could build you a nicer one :biglaugh:

Not unless you're budgeting for a time machine too.

 

[bigaaron]

I would pay $50k for a LHD JZA70 like that, but not for a 7m.
