[

The time has finally come for me to let this rare car go. I have competed in this car at the TX Mile since Oct 2007 and the fastest speed I have achieved in the mile is 247.7 mph (March 2010). I truly believe that the car has a 251-253 mph pass the way she sits. In order to go faster than that I think I would have to change the setup to a Ford rear end, Motec ECU, dry sump the motor and a AMS1000 Boost controller. But the main reason for selling this car is that I just bought a new house. It’s a very hard decision for me to make but my family is my first priority.

 

I bought this car from Peter Blach back in 2006 after I sold my record breaking 201mph TX Mile (March 2006) 1995 Anthracite car . The car was bone stock when I bought it from Peter and had right around 11,000 miles on her. My goal was to build a 240mph TX Mile car. In addition to the 240 mph goal, I wanted to build a car that could win a car show. I picked the best parts and lots of custom parts were made for this car.

AUG 2010

The car is featured in Import Tuner Magazine (Oct 2010)

5 Greatest U.S. – Built Supra’s of All Time

The new owner will get a copy of this as well

 

With all of the records set, numbers made, quality parts…this car has set a standard that is tough to beat. The car has spoken for itself with respect to the quality of the build and combination of parts used.

 

The car was only touch and worked by me “Tommy Banh” http://www.Autobanh.com and tuned by none other than the famous Justin Nenni http://www.tuningconcepts.com

 

The car currently doesn’t have nitrous system installed, however, it can be installed if new owner would like to have it.

 

In addition, the turbo setup can be downsized to a smaller turbo to fit the new owner’s needs.

 

THE MOTOR IS BRAND NEW WITH ZERO MILES. IT COMES WITH THE NEW HD CARRILLO RODS, NEW CP PISTONS AND NEW BEARINGS. I want the new owner to have a new and fresh motor as I have been running on the last motor for many TX mile seasons.

 

I have invested more than $90K not including the car and TOO MANY HOURS of labor.

 

I’m asking for $130K OBO, serious buyer only. I’m willing to work with you on price and changing the setup to fit your needs

 

Im willing to trade for

 

*01-04 M3 Coupe Blk/Blk

Modified Supra prices are a world apart from here to that side of the pond. As much as I love Supras I don't think I could bear to part with £80k+ for one, no matter what the pedegree

 

If i had lots of money id rather buy that for 80k than any other 80k car.

I think my problem is I'd never buy anyone elses work, for me Supra's have to be done my way, I don't like the idea of buying into someone elses dream.

 

But for £80k, I'd be buying a Gallardo and saving for a UGR upgrade :D

If only it was right hand drive..... :(

 

 

Oh who am I kidding :D

 

It is lovely and I am sure you won't find many £80k cars with that sort of Spec, Power & Condition as that.

 

With only 11k on the clock, surely it is one of the lowest mileage Supra's around?

I just pretend to have money mate:)

 

That pretend money sure buys a lot :D

 

I can appreciate the money and time that has gone into Tommy's car, but for 83K you could buy something with real racing history that would appreciate in value. That really is a money no object pi$$ it up the wall purchase.

You could, though surely it won't be as clean or as quick as this.

I'm with Miguel, we only like it because its a Supra. If it was a £80k+ *replace with other jap rice machine* you prolly wouldn't feel the same way

 

You are correct, though I would have thought something with Sub 15k on the clock & mile run of 247 would hold some value. Maybe not as much as £80k but surely it is the correct price bracket? That is about the same price as a Gallardo, which is pleasing on the eye has no match on power & driveability.

 

"Cue Mr C Wilson"

 

Words of a wise man, would be nice to hear his input.
