Notes:	Up for sale is my gorgeous 1985 Toyota Supra (MKII) with its 2.8 Liter, Normally Aspirated, Electronically Fuel Injected, Double Overhead Cam, Six Cylinder Engine and a smooth Five-Speed Manual Transmission. Its exterior paint color is Toyota's Super Deep Red (think "Blood Red") with black trim, and the interior is black and grey in color. It has Four-Wheel Power Disc Brakes, Power Windows, Power Doors Locks, Tilt Steering, Cruise Control, Automatic Temperature Control Heating and fiercely frigid genuine Freon R12 Air Conditioning, an advanced Toyota/Technics Five-Speaker AM-FM-Stereo Cassette Player with APS (Automatic Program Search), Sunroof, Alloy Wheels (five, including spare), Retractable Headlights, Fog Lights, a Factory Theft Deterrent System, and many other finely appointed equipment items too numerous to mention. The Toyota Factory front "Recaro-style" bucket seats are incredibly comfortable, and the driver's seat is nearly infinitely adjustable, including through the use of a hand pump and three separate individually controllable lumbar support air bladders. It is also fitted with a full set of five (including spare) Bridgestone Potenza HP41 tires with an H-speed-rating Supras of this MKII vintage were really ahead of their time when they were produced, and they can still hold their own in terms of performance and comfort today. This specific beautiful example is not a "restored" vehicle, but rather one that has been protected from the elements and immaculately maintained, both mechanically and cosmetically, over its entire lifetime. It has spent the vast majority of that lifetime under a Covercraft Custom Tan Flannel Car Cover while also being safely inside either my aircraft hangar or my garage. When driven on the highway, it has been protected by a soft fleece-lined Colgan Custom Front End Mask (bra). The original paint is definitely a "9", and the original interior is about as close to an absolute "10" as possible, looking exactly as the vehicle did when it left the showroom floor 28 years ago. Except for a small worn area on the driver's mat, even the original factory floor mats are still in excellent condition. I've tried to get the best quality photos reasonably possible, but I assure you the incredibly great condition this vehicle absolutely must be seen, in person, to be believed. Virtually everything on this vehicle, including the paint and interior, is either the original Toyota Factory part/material or a Toyota factory replacement item. The only exceptions are the battery (Costco), hood lift supports (Mighty-Lift), muffler (a single "glaspack"), the chrome exhaust tip, the front speakers (Pioneer TS-A87, the full set of five Bridgestone Potenza HP41 tires with an H-speed-rating, the engine oil filter (a much larger volume than stock Fram HM8A), and some lubricants and other maintenance fluids (mostly Castrol). The vehicle has no damage history, except for the driver's door being repaired/repainted after a student of the previous schoolteacher-owner kicked it. Nearly impossible to avoid on 28-year-old vehicle, it does have a couple of small scratches, a few small paint chips, and some flaking off of the clear coat on the wheels. However, it is a truly beautiful vehicle that is has an undercarriage nearly as clean as what you see when you walk past it while it's parked or when it whips past you on the road. I am the second extremely meticulous owner of this classic Toyota, and have owned it for all 26 years since 1987. I have personally performed all of the preventive maintenance and repair work on this pristine vehicle while I have owned it, and I am well qualified to have done so. I have an Automotive Technology Degree, have been certified by both Toyota and the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) as a Master Automotive Technician (for nearly 35 years), and am also certified by ASE as an Automotive Service Consultant. Before "retiring" from the automotive service industry professionally, for many years I was also General Parts and Service Director for one of the largest Toyota dealerships in the country. In addition, I served as President of the Southern California Toyota Dealers Service Advisory Council for every year it existed while I worked in the business. The maintenance on this Supra, all done much more frequently than necessary, has included engine oil changes with either Castrol GTX 10W-40 or 20W-50 (depending on the season) every 1,000 miles. I will be happy to explain the high frequency with which all other preventive maintenance has been performed, as well. The tires easily have 80% of their original treadwear remaining, and the front and rear brakes have at least 60% and 90%, respectively, of their original lining material remaining. It just rolled over to 101,000 original miles, and just had another oil and filter change. Every piece of equipment on this car performs absolutely perfectly, exactly as designed. This Supra is an absolute joy to drive. Its combination of power, handling, low interior noise level, ride comfort, and great gas mileage is pretty hard to beat. It is an incredibly roomy and comfortable road car for two people, and with the rear seats folded down you can haul a great amount of travel gear along with you. But, if you absolutely must, you can actually snugly fit up to another three smaller humans in back if necessary (it has an extra rear seat belt in the center), fill up the rear cargo area with whatever you really need, and even cover it up with the retractable cargo cover. I REALLY LOVE THIS CAR, but I'm semi-retired now and I'm feeling the need to "simplify" life by getting rid of a lot of my possessions, including a couple of my vehicles. Moving my Supra out of the garage will make room for my also pristine 1999 4WD 4Runner that I plan on keeping until I'm gone and it gets passed on to one of my sons. So my loss presents an opportunity for you to gain. My price is firm, but reasonable for its rarity, at $14,995. I am well aware that it will require a particularly discriminating individual to become her new owner, but that individual will join the ranks of the very elite group of vehicle enthusiasts who are Supra owners enjoying an incredibly fine example of a historic vehicle model that is being made no longer. Along with what I believe to be the most outstanding example of this vintage of Supra you'll find, the buyer will also receive my Covercraft Car Cover and its locking cable, the Colgan Custom Front End Mask you see in the photos and an extra brand new one still in the box, and a new set of Toyota Factory Front Brake Pads with all the attachment clips and shims hardware. My name is Mike. Please call me (no text messages or emails) at 9zero9-9three8-1336 with any questions you may have, to get additional photos, and/or to make an appointment to see it in person. If you don't reach me, please leave a message and I'll get back to you ASAP. Thanks!
