Jared your camera presence gets better and better with each video, just keep chipping away you're absolutely killing it

[@Brentastrophe]

Since it's an automatic that's probably why it's not modded to all hell. And that probably saved it from destruction to be honest.

[@1985toyotacamry]

Very true

[@Ryan-85]

That's usually the case it seems. Bought a low mileage 91 civic several years ago well cared for so on so forth except it too was an automatic.

[@primusconvoy]

Our 87 is a manual and it's stock, but yeah, that's likely because it was a one owner car owned by a lady who was a teacher. It's not quite as clean as this one, but other than the transmission and fixed roof, it's pretty near identical to ours. Ours is probably about a 7.5 out of 10. Front bumper is dull and there is some fading on the outer seat bolsters.

[@griffins750]

True although the auto is actually considered to be really good in the mk3 because of how it works with the torque curve of the engine, hell even Hagerty mentioned it when they reviewed the Mk3...

I had one. No turbo, replaced the head gasket. Wasn't going to win any races, but she was damn quick. Kept a big gulp cup because the Targa top leaked. But the ride was phenomenal. Smooth and sure footed, like riding on rails. Some old man ran a red light and t-boned me. Totalled. Miss that car.

You have amazing timing because I just picked up an 88' NA Supra a few days ago! It's also in pretty incredible shape like this and the interior impresses the hell out of me.

What wasn't mentioned in the video is that this Supra is equipped with TEMS (Toyota Electronic Modulated Suspension). It allows the driver to select between a softer ride for everyday driving or a stiffer more sporty ride when you're feeling peppy. Some people don't like it and think it's an unnecessary feature that can be rather costly to replace but I enjoyed the feature on my '86 1/2 Supra, my '88 didn't have it and it was missed.

great to see a vehicle that is well maintained and loved. Engine looks great - not overly detailed, but clean. 👍

[@ngiathao8063]

I missed my so much. I used to have one exactly like that. 1987 Pearl White Supra 5 speed Turbo charge burgundy leather inside😢

[@s_class7027]

I got pulled for having a knight rider light on one

[@Beer_Dad1975]

You are spot on there - this car was a competitor to cars like the Trans-Am, not Porsche as the Wizard suggests - which was on a whole other pricing tier.

[@toolzshed]

How do ppl like Jared remember all those car engine facts? 😲

[@davidmock9040]

Glad I bought mine when I did. Prices will continue to increase with videos like this. Hopefully rare parts availability will increase as desirability increases. Love my JZA70 R.

[@xoxo2008oxox]

THAT IS AN AMAZING SUPRA! I mean, I wanted one so bad in 1992 but then, their cost didn't make sense when you could have a V8 Mustang Cobra or GT then, and pocket the difference. Still, that is a really sweet Toyota Supra. Thank you for sharing that and Facetiming with Jared!

[@maxxas5067]

IS THAT AN RX-7?!?

[@gregdesena4207]

Definitely my favorite Supra ever.

[@NewOrderrr]

I love your customers! I really like details on it like the directional wheel vents. I've always thought of the 1st to 3rd gen Supras as kinda - sorta like a Japanese Monte Carlo or Thunderbird., a bit bigger, more comfortable than a Celica. Thanks!

[@neonreign2988]

Really cool video and collaboration with Jared. I love Toyota. The Mk3 is still a really cool generation for the Supra.

[@bikeman1x11]

dreamt of that in the 80's loved my daytona but that was awesome and the starion /conquest was a close 2nd

[@jakob9292]

Ah cool, you don't see a lot clean c4 Corvettes

Blessings Isiah 30:18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him./inspiration+ Not everything in the book of Isaiah is as encouraging as this passage. Much of this book is an admonition to people who have failed a Holy God. Some of us can remember our parents telling us as children, right before they punished us, "This hurts me more than it hurts you." At the time, we cannot believe that is true. But when we become parents and we have to punish the wrong behavior of our children, we understand exactly what they meant. A parent’s desire is to love his child, not to punish. In this passage, we see the true nature of God. We see His heart’s desire. He longs to be compassionate and gracious to us. More than anything, He wants to shower us with His love. But just as a parent also has the responsibility to discipline, so does God. He is also a God of Justice, and therefore, He must "wait" to show compassion./prayer+ Father, I know that You are a God of Compassion and Grace. I realize that You long to shower me with blessings. But I also know that You must discipline me when I am wrong. I may not like it, but I understand and appreciate it. I would rather be disciplined by a loving God than punished by a just God. Guide me with the love that You have for me. Help me to do Your will in all things. Amen.

You are braver man than I

[@kerrylewis2581]

Great car and conversation between David and Jared.

[@The_One_Over_There]

i really like the 4th generation Supra. But the 3rd generation has been my #1 favorite Supra for a long time, And it'll probably stay like that.

[@abolishwelfare]

Nothing screams 80’s and 90’s like a velour interior.

[@CSmith-gb1sl]

& they were comfy too, I had the herringbone fabric in my Camry, wore like Iron, & still looked like new when the vehicle succumbed to rust.

[@robertadamcik9179]

That's a gorgeous MK III!!!! I lusted after one of those back in college. Flash forward 30+ years, and I bought my wife a 2020 MK V for our 25th anniversary.

[@Jacob3434]

Congrats man

[@keithschneidly3922]

For your wife 😉

[@BrotherMud]

I'm so insanely excited. I had a blue 1986 1/2 supra. My favorite supra of course. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

[@erikt211]

I had a red 1989 Supra turbo targa with gray leather interior, I loved everything about that car and I’ve owned many

[@jamesandersen9024]

I just watched car issues for the first time and saw the wizard with hair LOL

[@donaldw6049]

Yeah, was a Wonderful Surprise. Guess that’s where it All started. Great to see how far the Weeeeezard has come 👍🏼

[@jy5960]

can you plz link us?

[@RysterARCEE]

Have also been watching Car Issues on TV and it is so good. Wizard's appearances on every episode are the best part.

[@rsprockets7846]

Ohhh more Vanna Ms wizard doing a voice over of the interior virtues!!!!!

[@gaboonviper85]

I've had 4 of these and absolutely love them.....lots of little issues with them like the headgasket problems and frozen suspension bolts etc.

[@Mike_Costello]

That interior has so many components from my 1985 Toyota Celica front wheel drive twin-cam. Same colours, same seats and materials. Gorgeous!!.

[@djmrausch]

Hahahahahahah! I laughed so hard on the vapeing bros ^^

[@djpollo2474]

This was my first car, a 1988 toyota supra sold it like a year ago or two... and I miss it, all because I didn't want to put in the work...

[@itsnotme07]

Mrs. Wizard nailing the location. Wicked cool ride! A co-worker of mine back in 1987 bought one of these new, his was that royal blue color paint and a 5 speed manual, otherwise it matched this car. When I saw his new ride I told him his wife makes WAY TOO MUCH money...cause no way could he afford this. Was over $30k back then. These things are SOOO MUCH fun to drive when sorted!! Lots of fun miles left in this one...especially after leaving the Car Wizard shop!

[@williamlloyd3769]

What, nothing for Car Wizard to taste! Glad you and Misses Wizard made it back to shore.
