Worth seeing: Brand new 1990 Turbo Targa

[boosted17]

Wow I wouldn't know what to do with that car!

 

[akito]

I was just wondering...when was the last oil change?? Or it will be fine with the oi that has been in it.

 

[CTsupra]

i bet it will start with rodknock. HA!


























Very nice mkiii!

 

[Stanzaspeed]

i bet it will start with rodknock. HA!

i'd shit a brick if i paid $50k for a car and it knocked as soon it was started:rofl:

 

[Clip]

id take that shit-brick and hit the dealer with it afterward

 

[starscream5000]

I'd buy it if I had 50K laying around. I'd retorque the HG and DD that bitch (after giving it the once over of course).

Brings back memories. Watching them prep it then later crusin' the PCH targa off on a warm June evening with 20 miles on the clock, inhaling that new car smell mingled with the sea and a cutie I'd met that afternoon who was clearly smitten with one of us. Never did figure out which. Didn't care either. That was a good day. Thanks Jeff

 

[da89soup]

seeing cars like this always makes me wonder, who buys a brand new car, and then simply parks it?

I would buy one to park and one to drive if I had the money and if the car was something I thought might turn into something in the future.

Its just nice to see one new!!!!:icon_bigg

^Im wondering the same..... Where do you store a car like that for umpteen years....

I could see it sitting in a wharehouse all this time, dealership forgot it was there type thing

 

[Supracentral]

Ah, I remember those days...

How many of us bought one new? I know JJ did. Who else?

 

[bmoss85]

that car is beautiful, they shouldnt be aloud to sell it. it should be a museum piece

I was 2 in 1989, so mine was not purchased by me, lol.

 

[Poodles]

JJ: you suck, mine smelled like cigars when I bought it with 145K miles on it...

they seriosuly don't make em like they used to... look at the paint on modern cars compared to that.

I drove a brand new 92 one in late Dec of 91. I couldn't afford the $30000.00price tag. Toyotaville in West Fort Worth. I took it up on Loop 820 and did 115 mph in it and remember it being very smooth and quiet even at that speed. It was the same blue as kwnates car. **sigh**:love:

I would buy that car in Canada if I had that kind of money to spend, but I'd be afraid to drive it. So many undercarriage shots of it. I guess it's such a big deal to find a car that old in Canada without any rust on it.

My dad did. Does that count?

 

[MK3.0dudeman]

WOW!!

 

[upgradedsupra]

I would take the heater control and a few misc parts from it and put them in mine since they have less miles than mine :sarcasm: If it was white, then I would pay that much for it.

1990 Mk3 with 50 miles on it and will prob need a head gasket, expansion valve, cold start time switch, heater valve in another 50 miles........$50,000

1990 Mk3 built clean, 500 RWHP, upgrades galore, better looking and performing.......good luck getting $15,000

Silly......however very cool to look at.....would you trade your's for it??

 

[OneJoeZee]

would you trade your's for it??

No way.

 

[jmanbball]

That car makes me cry.

Seriously, my eyes started to water while looking at it.

I would be torn if I bought it, whether to drive it or park it.

What needs to happen is for Toyota to buy it and park in between the MkIV and the MkII at their museum that doesn't have an MkIII.
