1985 Toyota Celica Supra Hatchback

The 1985 Celica Supra holds a unique place in Toyota history. This was the last year of production before Toyota cut ties with the Celica name entirely and launched the Supra as its own standalone model. What you have here is the final version of the car that changed how America thought about Toyota, a genuine sports car that went toe to toe with the Mazda RX-7 and the Datsun 280Z and held its own. Finished in dark blue with the pop-up headlights doing exactly what they are supposed to do, this one looks the part. Under the hood is the 2.8 liter twin cam inline six, the 5M-GE, backed by a five speed manual. By 1985 Toyota had coaxed 161 horsepower out of this engine, the most it ever made in this generation, and it is a smooth, willing motor that loves to rev. What most people do not know is that the suspension on this car was tuned by Lotus, who Toyota had a working relationship with in the early 1980s. The result is a car that handles with a balance and precision that still feels impressive today. Inside, the grey cloth interior is clean and well kept. Power windows and power locks are standard, and the factory silver and blue 14 inch Toyota wheels give the exterior a look that is period correct and sharp. This is a very honest and complete example of a car that is only getting harder to find in this kind of shape. The Celica Supra helped turn Toyota's reputation around in America at a time when the company desperately needed a win. It earned a spot on Car and Driver's Ten Best list in both 1983 and 1984, and Motor Trend named it Import Car of the Year. Those are not small things for a car that a lot of people had not yet taken seriously. Today, clean examples are quietly climbing in value as collectors catch on to just how good this generation really was. If you are looking for a genuine piece of 1980s Japanese sports car history in a clean, drivable package, this is it. Please call or email us today for more information.
