It looks nice in that pic, but if you knew the backstory on that Supra, you'd know it is a mess of horribleness that should never befall any car, let alone a Supra.

Horrible.

He sold the car for a large dollar sum, and the new owner had to basically redo the entire thing. It was shoddy to the max. The bodywork was the only thing on the car worth anything at that point.

Here's the thread for the interested:

Some key pictures, keep reading the thread if you want to see more, and what they had to do to actually fix this mess of a car:

It's a 4.7L Twin Turbo Tundra engine built buy "CowboyBebop" on SF..probably one of the best looking cars i've ever seen..unless you get underneath it or dig into the actual build. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he use some flex pipe for exhaust piping?

I don't condone the sellers actions, but the person buying that car should have inspected it before he bought it

Absolutely, I agree! He would have seen a lot of things wrong right off the bat, though a lot of the issues were hidden as well.

Though I believe car was actually sold on eBay.

Buyer beware!
