Alpine Silver over Black Leather and Rare Gunmetal Trim
Here is a unique opportunity to own a super clean Original Alpine Silver over Black Leather Limited Edition 15th Anniversary Toyota Supra Twin Turbo. The MKIV Supra currently has a "clean" Florida Title, but does have a branded salvage/rebuilt title from the past as there was an minor front end accident reported earlier in its life. The car was purchased by meover 9 plus years ago and was in all original, stock and unmodified condition which is why I chose to pursue ownership (See stock pictures below). All associated repairs, details and receipts were included when I purchased it from the previous owner who owns a successful Lexus and Toyota Parts business. Repairs consisting of new OEM parts such as the drivers side fender, a new hood, new front bumper cover,and while it only needed a drivers side headlamp - 2 brand new OEM headlamps were purchased directly from Toyota. Again, the car was all original and stock when I purchased it (Pictures included) and over the past 9 plus years my goal was to mildlyenhance its already aggressive and timeless looks. Unfortunately, with family, limited time and more focus on my own personal career, it has basically been a garage queen ever since I've owned it. It basically has had only a few thousand miles added over the 9 plus years of my ownership. The car as you can imagine, turns heads everywhere itroams and gets a lot of thumbs-up from on-lookers.The color combination is a sheer plus - Alpine Silver over Jet Black Leather. Full Synthetic Mobile One oil changes performed yearly - even though I hardly drive it. The only thing it will need as far as maintenance goes is the common valve stem seal will need replacements in the future, asI recently noticed that it has started toshortlypuff white smoke on "cold" start-ups for about 5-10 seconds then immediately goes away (very common issue with the MKIV). Could use a new brake job as the ABS brakelight will flash on occasion. Lastly, the car still sits on the original struts and shock and will likely need replacing as the car is beginningtosit much lower. A full performance coil-over kit wasin my futureplansbut just never got around to it. I commonly own and drive 4 or more cars myself, so each one getsenjoyed all except the Supra! My goal was to keep it for a long-long time for nostalgic purposes. You just don'tsee these type of cars nowadays,minimal electronics, brute power, timeless exoticlooks and Toyota reliability.Again, the Supra has lived most of its life as a stock, unmolested,all original twin turbo example with only a few added cosmetic enhancements.
The car has never been street raced, boosted, nor has it ever been pushed beyond its mechanical limits from a factory tuned OEM 2JZ.Just turning43 years old now, I have always wanted to own a Supra TT and this one met my requirements 9 years ago - color combo, looks, all stock and more importantly Toyota reliable. The interior is equally great, no rips, tears or unusual things given the age. The factory radio and speakers are still original and stock,but could use a fresh upgrade to bring it too today’s standards. A/Cblows ice cold, heat works as well,interior trim is in perfect condition,engine runs perfectly smooth. The car does have the rare option “gunmetal” color interior and exterior trim such as in the headlights and taillight housings, factory gunmetal emblems and gunmetal interior dash trim exclusiveto the 15th Anniversary 97' models. It really goes well with the Alpine Silver and Black Interior. You won’t be disappointed with this Supra, plus you are getting all of the original stock parts included!
As with any 20 year old car, please expect the car to not be showroom concourse perfect and assume there will besome nicks, scraps, minor dents, paint scars, etc. The car still has excellent working factory twin turbos and has never seen any type of extra boost to the engine. I still have all of the original parts from the stock exhaust system, stock intercooler and pipes, nuts and bolts, even the rare light weight polished aluminum OEM wheels and tires (not the heavy steel chrome stuff!). The Supra starts-up, runs and drives and the automatic transmission shifts perfectly. Over the past 9 plus years, I have sourced a few parts to basically enhance the car without touching the stock motor, turbo's or drivetrain. The motor is all original and has never been taken apart. It is truly an original virgin untouched 2JZ Twin Turbo as equipped from Japan.
Here is a list of current simple bolt-on enhancements……
***All original parts will be provided to the new owner!
Ultra Rare TRD-2 Fully Stainless 3.5" Exhaust System (Bought new at Toyota before they were discontinued) Full OEM exhaust system is included.
Rod Millen (RMM) Full 4” Stainless Downpipe (Bolt-on) Bought at Sound Performance – OEM downpipe and cats included.
Brand New TRD Stut Tower Bar - never installed (Bought new at Toyota before they were discontinued)
Speed for Sale “O2 Sensor Fooler” (in-line plug & play version)No check engine lights with missing cat sensors.
Full Front Mount Intercooler (Bolt-on) – OEM Included with pipes, clamps etc.
Titan Upper Radiator Coolant Hard Pipe (Bolt-on) – OEM included.
Uber Rare Authentic Italian Custom Made 3-Piece18” Forged Speedline Alessio Wheels (18x9.5” Frt and 18x11.5” Rear with matching Michelin Pilot Sports) (a $4,500 wheel set- plus tires $1,400)
4 OEM light weight polished turbo wheels, caps, lugs and tires will be included (currently mounted)
Eibach Pro-Lowering Spring
Custom fit slip on 2-piece front seat covers with supra logo to protect original leather seats. – Can be removed easily - Rare bought from Sound Performance.
Autosport ECU Wiring Harness (No need to cut into your original harness bought for future mods but never really used it)
Blitz Mini Turbo Timer and car specific harness (quick Plug and Play).
Weathertech Headlight Protection Film Clear (Installed when I purchased the car from previous owner with new headlamps- Perfect fit!)
Custom Made Italian Leather WheelSkin Brand steering wheel cover. Hand sewn andinstalledby myself. Perfect color and matches the gunmetal interior trim perfectly.
Finally........“every single nut, bolt, clamp, pin and clip” that was ever removed or replaced in the installation of the above enhancement parts. (Yes, I am very picky!)
So, why am I selling...........well in short my wife says I am well past the age (43) of tinkering with all my cars and basically just need to get back to basics and enjoy driving!!!!!As such, I recently purchased another dream car of mine.....aPorsche 911 Twin Turbo as my daily driver choice and need to make room for her in my tiny garage. Over the years, mywork and career has kept me more busy and since 9 plus years of owning andgazingat the Surpa, I really have not had the opportunity to fully enjoy its potential. As such, I am hoping the next buyer for the Supra will truly enjoy it, make it their own and give it a new home. I hate to part ways, but its time to move on in life..........
In summary, the car is being sold “As-Is”and "Where-Is” with no implied stated warranty or guarantee. Buyer is responsible for all tax’s, tags, registration and any associated costs in your home state. Buyer is tocontact seller within 24 hours and make full payment arrangements within 5 calendar days by use of cash at the time of delivery, bank to bank wire transfer or certified cashier’s check that will need to clear my financialinstitutionbefore taking ownership (no exceptions please). Note - if your home staterequires emissions testing, the car "in its current state" will not pass emissions due to the open cat-less exhaust system. As such, the original bolt-on converters including full OEMexhaust will beincluded which you can easily re-install and remove if needed. Florida, luckily has no emissions law so we can opt foropen exhaustsif we so choose. Buyer is to make all arrangements for pick-up and said delivery within 5 calendar days. A Clean Florida Title (with a past rebuilt history branding) is in my possession and ready for the next new owner. I am available to show the car with advance notice. Please be advised, car will need the proper registration and temporary tag as current registration and tags were transferred over to my new Porsche 911. This is a no reserve auction so feel free to bid to own. I will not entertain the usual tire kickers or day dreamers who wish to "test drive" a Twin Turbo Supra unless you bring proof of full insurance,a cash deposit, andare a serious buyer with proof ofcapital in hand. I am also not looking for trades at this time. I am also not hard pressed to sell this car and can sit on it basically forever......I did stare at it for over 9 years, what's another 9 years going to do. As such, I rather just move-on and see it happilyend up withthe right person who can make it their own and enjoy itsrare beautyand crowd following.
If you have any questions, please feel to ask and please leave your contact info.
Thanks for looking and Best of Luck!
