used car of the day 1985 toyota celica supra p type

Today's listing might be the shortest we've ever featured.

We don't care, since this 1985 Toyota Celica Supra P-Type looks so good.

All the owner tells us is that the car has 99,000 miles, it has never been driven in the winter and has no rust, and it's been well cared for.

We can also see that the seller is based near Detroit and asks $21,000 for the car.

Beyond that, you'll have to contact the seller yourself.

Great looking Supra, one of my all time favorites that "got away". In this era, I was driving a 280ZX which I really liked, but was more of a boulevardier than a sporting car. I looked at these Supra's from the '82 introduction but couldn't quite swing the price. Plus, I was sure the next Datsun Z would hit it out of the park. '84 came and Nissan gave us the disco 300ZX, which i disliked intensely. Supra's we're getting harder to find and more expensive as this generation wound down. Then, the howl of a small block Ford with a 4 barrel Holley caught my ear and I was sold. An '85 Mustang GT took the place a Supra should have occupied and that was it. The next gen Supra was, much like the 300ZX, more of a cruiser than the previous generation and more expensive. Several Mustang's and VR6 GTi's later I'm now back to looking for a Supra only to find out they're more expensive after almost 40 years than they were when new!

Jagboi The Canadian Mark VI's had the "Electronic fuel injection" badge on the side, but had the Ford Variable Venturi carb. The Canadian brochure for these cars does not have the portion about EFI that the US brochures have. A bit of false advertising for sure.I've seen a number of these cars up to 1983 and none of the Canadian market cars had EFI. The US cars had a crank triggered ignition systenm, the Canadian cars had the Duraspark just like the carbed Ford and Mercury Panthers.
Syke Back when BMW actually made ultimate driving machines.
Alan Many Ford designs that are manufactured in China are designed in Australia. Ford just fired hundreds of engineers. That only leaves engineers to keep on designing the Rangers, Bronco, etc.
Alan Big Al,Seems the author has confused horsepower and kilowatts. Check out what the Aussie Ranger Raptor power output is.The VW Amarok is the 2.3 Eco Boost, I think its about what the author wrote.To be fair, the author may be quoting EU hp.
