The cloth power seats coupled with it being a Hardtop makes it ridiculously rare. I have the seats from my previous Supra getting recovered with black leather so I can switch around when I feel like it. I like the 'look' of leather seats much better, but these are great in the summer and will be better for racing.

Is there a very noticeable difference between the chassis on the hardtop cars vs. the targas? Beautiful car man.

So this is a different Supra than you have/had before? It looks f-ing mint, I love the wingless look. Much better IMHO.

The difference between the Targa and Hardtop with respect to chassis rigidity is astounding. You can lift the entire side of the car from either jack point and still open/shut the doors. It's overall a much more solid feeling on the road. Having owned 2 Targas and now a Hardtop I honestly wouldn't go back; it's definitely worth the premium, IMO. I rarely took the top off of either of my previous because 1) it's a pain in the ass and 2) the entire car turned it a floppy wet noodle. The top off was only good for basic cruising, any type of performance/aggressive driving was severely hindered by chassis flex. With the top on it's still a very solid feel, and the average joe likely wouldn't detect a difference, but having owned both I can tell you the Hardtop is definitely a notch above.

Looking forward to carving the Dragon with this car! The Hardtop coupled with KYB-AGX, Eibach Pro's, front STB, Sparco Harness Bar and Titan heavy duty adjustable f/r Swaybars and Megan adjustable rear tow arms = super car handling

^what are you doing for Rubber Abe?

Different supra... yet looks almost the same with those wheels and lip on the front. Nice find though it looks pretty pristine. How many miles?

Currently has 265/30/19 Pilot Sports on the front and 295/30/19 Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta on the rear. Used to be Pilot Sports all the way around but the rears lasted less than 10k miles before they were DONE. The Pilots were two thousand dollars worth of peanut filled shit, IMO. Will likely go with Toyo R888 on the rear but undecided on the fronts at this point.


Yes - this is a different Supra. Picked this one up in January w/ 42k miles on the clock from the 2nd owner who bought it in 1997. He average less than 1000 miles/year!

I thought it was the same car at 1st, especially with the wheels. Cant wait to see this at BRG, I might ask for a quick ride. :D
