She is my best friend in the USA and here is her fotos & short history of her gorgeous Toyota.
She's equally a car nut as I am but has gone one stage further than I ever have,because in the past she has stripped down engines, gearboxes, suspensions, braking systems, radiators, you name it and rebuilt them all ...
I have driven the car and it's an awesome ride ...
PS. Will resize the fotos in a moment ...
Here is her story:
Here are some pictures of my classic 1984 Supra. This is the latest in
the year that I have ever had it licensed. It spent it's first winter or
two as a leased car in the Chicago area. Then I bought it in 1987 I
think, and it has been garaged during winter ever since.
This model was made from 1982 until 1985, tho there are some 85's
registered as 86's while the next model was being produced. The 1984 had
the most improvements. The engine is a straight six, 24 valve dual
overhead cam, with direct electronic fuel injection. In addition to
being powerful, the engine is also durable and with care will last to
about 300,000 miles. Mine has 110,000 on it now.
The 85 and 86 had a different spit rear spoiler near the bottom of the
hatch and a smaller top 'visor'. I like the bottom of the new ones and
often thought of combining them - the 85-6 was an overlay of the whole
hatch and would have had to have had the top cut off to keep the older
big spoiler. I also often thought about adding a curve up spoiler on top
of the flat roof one, similar to the cars in the first Mad Max film.
I love it under the lights at our local supermarket, and also at
twilight. I took it for a drive and was surprised at how powerful it is
and how wide and low and glued to the road it is on corners. Kind of
scary actually, since I have not driven it much this year.
The parking lot at twilight was good so I went home and got my camera.
The dimmer light really brings out the blue/silver color.
It is also one of the few cars with pop up headlights that looks good
with them up, probably because they are a geometric rectangular shape,
unlike the headlights on the older Pontiac Firebird that were an odd
shape and looked silly when up.
I often wonder why I keep it when I hardly use it, but then I drive it
and also see it like this, and then I know why.

It has tobe the climate, looking round at american car and auction sites, it seems that pretty much everything from california is pretty much rust and rot free, we just dont have a particulary great climate here in the uk either
