Used Toyota Supra for Sale near Texas

With the famous high compression in-line 6 cylinder engine and a manual transmission you can't help but have fun when driving this era supra. While it doesn't have the top-end speed of some more expensive sports cars, it has never mattered to me, the quick acceleration and tight cornering coupled with the P-Type seats make it fun and fast. In 23 years and 130+K miles the car has only let me down once and that was when it was new an electronic component related to the starter died after that NOTHING ever failed.

I was about 17 years old, when my farther got one of theese, it came in bronzemetallic -with the "black in the middle" wheels. I was stunned, imagine this: I lived in what you would call "Hicskville" where Opel kadets, Citroen 2CV's, WW's beetles and Ford Taunus where rulers... My Granparents bought the first Toyota in 1967 (a british racing green Crown ) Dad got the firts Celica St in 77, then a Corolla DOCH around 82 -and then the Supra! -many years later, I got my hands on a black 85' Supra -with about 200.000 on the odo,took a drive from Denmark to Paris France and back again without a squeak! and I floored it all the way from Normadie in France ( about 19.00 ) and returned the next day around 13.30 in Denmark (CPH) including the odd coffebreak/mens room.

The 1985 supra was in my opinion, a very behaved and overall good car. Until you put your foot into it, that is. at that point everything becomes relative. This car handles corners with ease. corners labeled 45 mph can easily be taken at 55-60 or more if there is a bank. While the stock power is respectable for an eighties vehicle, it leaves a little to desire. However i got a 20 year old one with 169,000 miles up to the 130 mph end of the speedometer. i dont recommend doing this, as the rpm's in 5th gear were a little over the 6500 redline. But overall, these are well built cars that are extremely well built.

the performance of this car is amazing considering when it was made and whats under the hood. it has only a 2.8L I-6 that makes roughly 170hp, its RWD, stick shift, and has independent rear suspension. it is a fairly fast car and handles like a dream. also you can get around 18-19 mpg combined city/highway.

Classic 80's looks with the sexy "Pop Up Headlights". Getting rare now specially in the condition mines in!! Lovely 2.8i Straight 6 engine and you got to love that Digital Dash!! Electric everything, its like being in a planes cockpit!!
