I love watching, I have always wanted to buy one of the deal days cars and resto mod it. Having a boy racer 70 Chevelle or 68 Camaro with an LS swap would be sweet.

The pair of Grand Nationals brought back memories. As teens, my friends and I lusted after that car. Hard to explain the feelings it evoked when they appeared on the auction block. It's like natsukashii.

The true Toyota Supra fans are not happy it’s a BMW Motor and drive train.

Some is ways whining about something.

I loved the Supra since 1989. Much preferred that to the fast and furious model.

But no matter what, people will find reason to complain. Always.

They’re legitimate complaints. It’s a rebodied BMW from interior to drivetrain.

Everyone thinks their complaints are legitimate.

All sorts of collaborations out there. This is no different.

And hey, if the complainers don’t want one, then that’s great. I suspect they will be hard to get for a good solid year. Maybe people will actually be able to get them without paying a dealer tax.

Doubtful. But maybe.

Funny you say that. Back in 1992, I bought a 1989 Supra Turbo with targa. It was red, I then added a HKS exhaust and it sounded sick. I also added 6 star Borbet wheels. Back then, modding cars was just starting to become popular. I loved that car, but I blew the turbo on it and had a good battle with Toyota to replace it. Good times.

Dude. My dad had the exact same car.

I’m actually confirming the year. But sane body style, color and spoiler based on it being the turbo. This was just before the 3000GT.

I was so in love with that car.

Being in a Toyota, it’s probably the non-rollback version.

It def a BMW motor and drivetrain. Interior, exterior are much different. From what I’ve read they handle completely different. Time will tell. We’re excited about it...I’m guessing the first few will sell at MSRP....then we will discount.

That’s right. You have a dealership right? Or manage one?

That’s interesting to hear your perspective. Certainly more valid than mine.

Still I’ll be surprised if they can be had at MSRP.

Wow - and now I know where Rolex gets its ideas...

From Wiki: “The G63 AMG 6×6 was launched in early 2013. The company decided to stop sales of the car and declared the model completely sold out in early 2015 to maintain the model's exclusivity.”

I’m the GM at a Toyota and VW Dealer Seth. We’ve never sold anything over MSRP. The Supra will prob have quick high demand then interest will fall. We’re just excited it’s finally coming.
