'87 supra

supra_91 · 03-16-2006, 09:24 PM

there is a 1987 supra for sale at an auction around where i live that is turbocharged, manual, leather, TEMS, and has a targa top. it has 211,000 miles on it and i think the clutch is out of it and the motors shot. the interior is torn to pieces and the body has scratches, faded, and some dings. i cant see the car going for more than $500. what do you think?

it's the perfect project car for what me and my friend want to do.

Doesn't sound like something I would want to get into as it will give you many headaches and penny pinch you to death. If the motor is shot but the turbo is good then it may be worth getting into, since the turbo setup alone should be worth $500.

I know folks who will dump like 30G's into old camaro's, so why not a supra?

i dont really know if the motor is blown or not. i'm going to the auction tomorrow. if the owner isn't there to represent his vehicle and nobody else wants it(mostly farmers that go to this auction) i might be able to get it for $100 or less

. then if i decide it isn't worth it i'll sell the good parts and junk the rest
