An old Mk4 Toyota Supra with a manual transmission and around 30,000 km (18,000 miles) under the hood cropped up on sale in the USA this weekend. Its seller claimed only 24 such cars finished in a shade of light grey metallic was made in 1998.
Regardless of the exclusivity claim, it is true that such Supras enjoy huge popularity on the modern market. Making this example unique are numerous subtle improvements, such as a Greddy intercooler, an HKS exhaust collector, and a ProEFI ECU. The resulting output has to be higher than the manufacturer-rated 280 PS (276 hp / 206 kW), but the listing fails to mention it.
Other than that, the coupe only has minimal visual modifications, such as aftermarket exhaust tips. All OEM parts have been preserved, so reverting it to its original state should be a matter of a couple hours.The bidding reached $135,000 USD this weekend when the seller suddenly pulled the plug on the sale. Judging by the comments, the prospective buyers were concerned about the unclear history of the car, as well as its actual mileage and technical condition.
