I find it super interesting it's CLEARLY being sold as a "sports" car here, maybe it always was? But I know it's really a purpose built GT car even though it was very impressive for the time. I never pretend I own a sports car when I drive it, but she's more of a joy to drive than any other car I have before. The luxury and looks are REAL with this baby, you can't do better and the name alone is enough to command respect.
I just hope that the MK3 Supras will eventually be as appreciated as the MK4. Especially because I think that the MK3 looks a lot prettier with it low-slung fastback design and pop-up headlights..
Dude, these things were WAY more popular than the MK4. They sold a magnitude more of them. Sadly they generally aren't as well kept and finding nice ones is a rare thing. My 88 is by far the nicest car I've ever owned and you may as well be driving a supercar around with how much attention it gets. It's just that cool.
I bought my second Mk III used in July. (Sold the first one several years ago.) I am picking it tomorrow from the shop that finished the restoration. Can't wait.
@@manny3738 My exterior was done prior to my buying it by Toyota of Tupelo, MS. I don’t want to know what it cost. The previous owner was a manager there. The engine work was done by a relative who owns a garage. I don’t think he wants to deal with another one. Mine was a pita.
@@rushnerd Blew head gasket on the autobahn on the way back to my country actually, which lead to overheating and rip. Now I drive a Supra GA70 imported from Japan. Dailied for one year so far. The 1G is a much much more reliable engine. No need to open up and rework to make it "reliable" unlike 7M. 7M is trash as far as I'm concerned. Failed experiment loaded on to the consumer. If you're gonna get a Supra mk3 make sure to import from Japan. You get 1JZ and 1G engines stock.
@@KoopaXross Damn, I kinda figured. But was the headgasket issue on yours fixed BEFORE you bought it? Also interested on it's mileage. I only bought my 88' because it was and the valves were replaced. I figure she should be good to go for an NA for a long time at 117K miles.
@@rushnerd In mixed driving I can go 260 miles. Pure highway driving is more like 350 miles. The tank holds 18 gallons, but I usually fill up around 15.
Great historical Video Presentation of the MK3 and its a gem for sure. MK3 is better suited to deliver Ferrari killing performance even today!!! Truly legendary
I'm in Oregon, but mine doesn't have any rust on it at all. Hell my 01' Celica GT-S wasn't rusted, but all the bolts were WAY more seized than my 88. She's held up better than most cars.
It's a marketing VHS that it seems ended up getting given away to the original owner of my car. It had an official case with the graphic at the start of the video on it. Unless someone finds another copy of it, this is as clean as you're getting it unfortunately.

Honestly if it was popular then the price will go skyrocketed
@@hatanarx just wait a bit. In 2 years from now it will go double price in the used car market!

11:10 "Even stationary, it has the POWER to MOVE you".
Are you kidding me...?? They weren't lying when that said that...
Toyota Supra - LEGEND
Gave me shivers!
yeah dude I heard "it has the power to move you" in suprasynth's 'mk3 supra' song and got the chills
Badass! Love me some mk3 supra!

Amazing GT vehicle ahead of it's time!
This car was pure energy!
is
Tomorrow I'm most likely buying one exactly like this one. Going to France then driving it home to Norway along the autobahn if I buy.
Did you ever end up buying one?
@@Strohza Yes but it's sold now.
@@KoopaXross Well that was fast damn! What happened?

That fuel estimate is pure fantasy. More like 16 city, 23 highway. The best I ever got was 26. Turbo 0 to 60 is 6.5 seconds.
Im a year late, but remember this is naturally aspirated not turbo...although turbo is a bit similar to the NA in terms of fuel economy LMAO
my 88' NA gets like 150 miles to the tank around town. almost 300 on pure highway.
She absolutely GUZZLES gas like nothing else.
UK miles are different

I would say... it's the only car that had it all! And it is the first true GT car ever, and one of the best οut there.
I approve this message...
Fk ya! love my MA70 Supra's :)
Same, I also own a mk3.
Saw anti corrosive and I see my Supra looool it a rust bucket.... but I love it

Think Toyota saw the third gen Pontiac Firebird and made an equivalent.
were there any videos or anything like this with the 7mgte?
Este carro es una legenda
Does anyone know what this was? A tv show? An ad? I want to find a copy of it that’s less buzzy, if possible

Wish I had kept my 89 Supra in navy Blue
If my na did an 8 second 0-60 then i wouldnt hate it so damn much. Its probably time for a rebuild
I LIKE IT.. I WOULD LOVE TO PAINT IT AND OWN IT AND SIT ON IT
