These old Toyota builds are the best! I remember driving my roommates 1984 on a road trip to Banff in 1985. What a great car. Nice to see one so carefully restored!

[@mothmagic1]

As usual Sarah has done a first class job.

[@darrylg7600]

[@Student_Of_Life09]

You must have seen a ton of interesting cars back in the days.

[@robaylmer2450]

I truly hope the winner of this exemplary, highly collectable, Celica not only gives it the best care that it deserves, but appreciates the love, blood, sweat, tears and endless hours of work that you have put into this awesome car. Kudos and absolute respect Sarah!

[@Miv51miv51]

Exhaust sounds are a whole experience by itself. I love what you've done with this classic.

[@gertstolk]

The sound of music, modern cars sound like crap

[@brucew13]

In Japan they have engine size tax, so that's why they were 1988cc and why Japanese cars had 2.0s and why Toyota worked on a performance engine this size.

[@pjthompson7319]

Beautiful car I'd love to have one I'd never sell it if I had one ❤❤❤

[@buickboy92]

That shot with the Quattro Coupe is everything that makes this channel special. These reviews are the culmination of Sarah's talent and dedication to her work, and it shows.

[@ericthomas3181]

She's a beauty! Win or lose I appreciate the car, and the heart you put into it, thank you!

[@jskobe808]

I can see how it's going to be difficult letting this one go. You put your soul into this build and it shows. This is definitely my favorite build you've done so far. Aloha.🤙

[@niallmurtagh3682]

Your passion for bringing these cars back to their original beauty is just amazing and combined with your attention to detail makes your videos so entertaining to watch. I think if anyone deserves to be successful in this KZbin world we now live in it is people like you for making it more entertaining than TV ever was. Keep doing what you are doing and don't ever lose your passion.

[@pmscalisi]

It’s almost like cars have gone backwards for people who appreciate them. I miss cars like this.

[@peterkauss5852]

I've owned an '85 Supra for 35 years. A real joy to drive and very dependable.

[@farve23]

Absolutely beautiful!. You are extremely talented and truly put out a very comprehensive and well thought out vehicle!. Whoever wins this gem will be blessed .

[@stevehockley5613]

Just awesome.! Thanks for sharing this build Sarah, big trip down memory lane from my apprenticeship years when cars were made for connected drivers.! Brilliant and appreciated content 👌

[@JesseArt]

I absolutely love how this car turned out. It sounds freakin' fantastic and looks to be a super fun and spicy ride. As a fellow 80s baby, I am a big fan of this design language and am glad you made the choices you did to preserve its unique character while also modernizing some bits like the suspension. You just don't see things like this out on the road anymore. It's a very special car, and I'm sure it will be really hard to let it go. Judging by the comments here, I think your audience is full of people who do truly appreciate your fierce commitment to your projects. I think this car will be well loved and cared for wherever it ends up. Excellent work, Sarah!! Also, those funky little service lights are both hilarious and delightfully functional. Love it!!

[@lastcoupe73]

Hey Sarah! Just an FYI. The lines inside the front windshield are actually the factory radio antenna, not defrosters. Also, technically, it has a factory woofer in the dash, not a subwoofer. All great content though! I really enjoy your channel! Keep up the great work! Thanks!

[@riendetout8812]

Amazing build on that car! I can't believe how well it turned out, and all the details are super chef's kisses! When I was a kid, my dad worked for a dealership and got to drive new cars to the local pro ice hocky games and drive them onto the ice during halftime for promotionals. I remember we got to drive one of these and at night it was like being in a spaceship with that super-advanced dashboard!

[@tomjones5974]

I like how the digital tach is the shape of the torque curve. Well optimistic version of the torque curve. Nice car. Great for early 80s!!

[@niklaswejedal463]

This is the one car review I have been looking forward to the most, this year. You should really be proud of what you accomplished with this build - just astonishing! So sad for you that you can't keep it - hope the new owner will love it just as much as you do. This build series was a blast to watch - as always, thank you for what you do and Stay Awesome!

[@onesource9527]

There are no words left from all the foregoing praise (and you deserve every bit of it)! All I can say is that I tremendously enjoyed this series and look forward to the next one. I hope you can leverage this channel into some form of side business. You can't keep putting all your energy into one off projects only to give them away. You need a talented business manager with a vision for your brand.

[@davidtx99]

Further proof they don't make 'em like they used to!

[@SarahnTuned]

Cars perform better and are much safer than they used to be, but the materials utilized in construction are not what they once were.

[@davidtx99]

​@@SarahnTuned And the majority have lost the driver/car connection.

[@dougharding5231]

What a stellar job you've done on this car, Sarah! I fully understand your sadness in giving it away, for this obviously is now one very special car. I can only try to imagine the thrill if it were in my garage. Awesome job! ❤

[@pf6797]

I hope the eventual winner is a fan of the channel, and offers to sell the car back to sarah for a reasonable cash award instead of taking possession of the car. The sound!!

[@peterbutlien1335]

Those 2 movable lights and the molded funnel are three of the smartest little things I've ever seen built into a car.

[@angelas4681]

This review brought a huge smile to my face. Well done, Sarah!

[@LMacNeill]

I love that exhaust note -- throaty without being raspy or "fart-can" ish. Really great!! Whoever wins this thing is going to have an *AMAZING* ride. I just hope they don't live in California, because I'm pretty sure that exhaust is illegal there. 🙁

[@middleagedbaldguy6774]

Watched the entire build series. Pretty sweet. I drove one of these to my senior prom in '91. It belonged to my dates dad. Even being a ten year old car at the time it was still so cool.

[@ficklecycler]

My first car was a 1984 Celica Supra P type. I got it for $500 and it's how I learned to wrench on cars. I miss it dearly. I hope whoever gets this car has an incredible experience with it.

[@benw3046]

Unreal! It is really great to see this beautiful car on the road and knowing all the blood sweat and tears that Sarah put into it makes this review even more special!

[@EffequalsMA]

Digital dash was an option on the P type. My friend had one back in the day. This was one of the coolest cars available back in 1982. mI remember the P type seats being alot more sporty than these. Oh, gotta edit! My friend blew the engine racing a *Chevette* with a Buick 90* NA V6 jammed in it on a windy road.

[@jwaller51]

My friends and I went by the dealership and drooled over this model when it hit the floor. Being poor, that's all we could do, I still want one!

[@magnetman3t725]

I had a 1984 Toyota Celica Supra and years later I have a 21 GR Supra. Thank you for bringing back memories of my old car.

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

Superb build what a clean car that has become! Hats off to you Sarah you’ve made an absolutely wonderful job of that car.. ….Respect 👍

[@frankswoodstudio4917]

Sarah, you have a great niche concept here. Reviews of our old favorites with your twist. I hope people with correct restorations will offer their babies up for you to review. My first car was a 68 GTO and I would love to see you review it. Nice job!

[@iansaunders8539]

The 1982 Celica Supra was my 1st car ever. Bought it for $500. When you dropped it into drive the entire rear end would squat down like it was ready for action. So much fun.

[@Cmnore]

That single shot of the Supra next to your Audi Coupe? OMG. Perfection.

[@fishflash1]

What a great carview. Reviewing all the upgrades and the details we didn't see during the build kept it interesting. Giving away cars that you put your heart into is emotional. The engine and exhaust sound amazing and all the other changes really came together.

[@indycollie6424]

That sounds amazing, you know the exhaust is going to get better over time too.

[@gilbertlabonte5095]

fellow toyota nerd fact: most factory "bucket" seats for toyotas those years had a knob for bottom cushion angle on the bottom's side, a knob for bolstering adjustment on the s ide of the back rest with a clicking lever beneath it for lumbar support (basically just an ajustable bar behind the cusihion). My 1989 corolla GTS had it and i went and bought a second hand driver side from the scrap yard years later to have a VERY low budget (23$ total) racing"ish" seat to actually stay seated after having modified my 2005 2 door hatchback toyota echo. That is all. XD

[@matthewsanchez8624]

I owned a 84 P type, car drove like a dream. Everyone I drove around was amazed how the ride was compared to other modern cars in 2017. I’ve had many people try to buy the car while I was driving it, the motor is popular for making it into a turbo stroker. This car has a lot of tuning potential. I wish I can own another one.

[@user-zv7mm7ws5h]

This was great trip down memory lane, thanks so much for this. I graduated from school back in the 80's and remember riding around in my best friends Celica. Fun times! Have a great day!😍❤👍 And🍀 to all those entered in the drawing!🎉🎆

[@wbryanj]

Thanks! You deserve more than just words.

[@SarahnTuned]

Thanks!

[@520azdc]

I'm gonna miss the videos about this car. I hope there will be a series about some other awesome '80s Japanese car in the future.

[@taka3640]

My Brother-in-Law bought one new. You have done a very nice "MOSTLY MOOD" Supra project. I like you how you have a double style pointy finger/index.

[@ludercoarms]

That exhaust sounds awesome!! I was in jr. high and high school in the 80's (graduated in 1991) and I loved these cars! Never had one, I always had VW Beetles (which is actually how I found your channel, when you were doing the Beetle) Great job, that car is going to make somebody very happy!!

[@timonsolus]

You are an amazing person for giving this car away, especially since you love it so much! You deserve a 10 out of 10 for selflessness and generosity!

[@1stGenCRXs]

As a fellow fan of 80s imports ( Own 85 CRX and 86 CRX SI), this has been a great series to follow. Also in AZ so respect for fighting through the stupid heat we had this summer!

[@EdwardHart]

I have always admired this car since I was a boy. I must have been about 5 when the neighbors across the street bought a new one. Still a very cool car!

[@Primus54]

You sourced the perfect exhaust note… loved the sounds picked up by the exhaust tips camera. Very objective review. I’m going to miss this car, too. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍

[@YourGuyFromIowa97]

I've loved watching you bring this beauty back to its original glory. All the respect for your work ethic. Keep being yourself Sarah!

[@ralphvalkenhoff2887]

The best part of this fine automobile when I win it is knowing you poured your heart and soul into it

[@meanman6992]

As a former 1987 Supra MKIII turbo 5 speed owner, I love the look of these.

[@wirystylus]

Sarah, great job! I grew up with an 85 p type that stayed in the family for almost 30 years. There's never been a car since that meant quite as much. Wish I'd been able to restore it the way you did. Thanks for this!

[@atheisthumanist1964]

Such an amazing job, Sarah! Your attention to detail is incredible! Loved watching the series on this and seeing/hearing it is just the the perfect end. Whoever wins this is going to be so happy!

[@nicholasperry2380]

Don't diss yourself with what you would do - this has turned out beautifully and sounds better than it looks which is an achievement. Some very fortunate person is going to have a blast.

[@richardharker2775]

Here's a twist. The video shows it is posted 3 hours ago and when I look at my clock it shows 9am Saturday morning. Hmm! As for your presentation. Super. What you did and how you did it is simply amazing. You deserve many more subscribers.

[@corsa180]

Back in college, my daily driver was an '83 Supra P-Type in all black. I loved it. But at about 150k miles, it started burning lots of oil and had rust issues. Traded it in on a used '87 Porsche 944S with 37k miles, which was my daily driver that I drove to 200k miles before selling. No rust or oil-burning issues with the Porsche, but I did sometimes miss the torque of the Supra's 6-cylinder. And I agree, this is definitely the best generation of Supra!

[@blumpkin50]

that joy of driving something custom that you built with your hands is awesome! Seriously, amazing job Sarah!

[@Scott924m]

I remember seeing these on the road when I was a kid riding my bike around town wishing I was old enough to drive one . In my opinion the crazy thing is how it's still looks relevant compared to car design today. A lot of people wouldn't even think "old car" . Very impressed with the resto-mod on this. Doing the right stuff without changing the character of the car was a hard call.

[@bishdizzle67]

I love the old Celica Supras

[@UlrichVIII]

amazing job Sarah, you really brought back to life that gem of a car, and making it a resto mod with over the top age correct bits... truly amazing!

[@jediguy634]

This Celica is amazing. Love these "retro" rebuilds.

[@twopointeight6twinplug]

I think anyone that has followed this transformation, tears up when they think about having to give it away. 😢 Wow Sarah, thanks again

[@zahemi914]

My definite dream car growing up in the 80s, and also the Toyota Celica GT

[@olivearrows]

Loved that cold start. Those revs sound nice!

[@francoispanneton609]

Amazing, professional grade work as usual Sarah. The passion you put in your work is evident. Congratulations on another really nice projet! Cheers

[@matthiasmartin1975]

Best gauge cluster ever. I remember this car being new on the lot of the dealership.

[@mainyakmainer7162]

Awesome TOYOTA! I’ve only owned Toyota trucks since my first to my newest 2018 TUNDRA SR 4X4 . 1980,87,93,98,2003 & now the’18. My second tundra but my’93 SAS was my favorite truck because it would have lasted for ever but the salt belt ate it…..

[@johnburnsiii920]

Just a beautiful car for today. You really outdid yourself with this build. Whoever wins her is going to have an excellent piece of Toyota history. Thanks for sharing Sarah😊

[@twopointeight6twinplug]

The upload of this video has been [long] awaited. Anticipation! 😳 You have made this build so fun to watch along with. As always. Everything you’ve done has been an excellent improvement on an already fun model year car. Thank you for making this particular Friday… that much better Sarah.❤️

[@herrunsinn774]

I do hope that Sarah and one of her fantastic builds get showcased on Jay Leno someday. Wouldn't that be cool? 😛

[@tinnedanger]

I had a 1968 Datsun 510. I put a 1800 cc engine in it and big brakes. I loved that car. I crashed it so many times the guards were work hardened and cracked. Before I sold it it was restored to perfection. I miss that car. ( it's worth a fortune now ha ha)

[@psnaith1]

Fantastic build, you did an amazing job! The car looks and sounds fantastic! Really enjoy your content, work ethic and personality! Way to go Sarah!

[@zippybean]

You've done an outstanding job once again. I'm continually impressed by your talent! Of all the KZbin channels I tune into, yours stands out as my top favorite. I eagerly await every one of your uploads.

[@UniversityOfTurmoil]

Excellent exhaust note. Perfect mix of originality and upgrades should (and not chasing huge power numbers) make this a wonderfully usable car. I am envious of the competition winner.

[@billholemo2518]

I was 25 when these hit the road. Loved them, poor boy ..

[@davidkucher5.0Coy]

Sarah you did a wonderful job restoring that beautiful little car, and it sounds amazing. I love that little equalizer. I really hope who ever gets it, enjoys it and takes care of it. It's a little treasure. 😎👌👍

[@shawncarlile2610]

You did an amazing job restoring this car. My dad had a midnight blue L model in the early 90’s, and I miss it dearly. The Mk2 is my favorite Supra model too.

[@JmanRx81]

That exhaust note is absolute perfection.

[@davidginns4112]

Congratulations Sarah on another top-notch project completion. You are a highly entertaining and inspiring presenter, and produce excellent content and project results. So inspired am I, it's back to the Dodge AT4 project for the day!

[@Dusty0116]

You did a fantastic job on the Supra Sarah. You put your heart into this one and it shows! I'll hate to see it go too!

[@Mugwart1]

OMG, that exhaust sound is absolutely, positively sick. So, so sick. Beautiful build.

[@robertkerr8734]

Amazing car. I hope someone that loves Toyota gets this car.

[@hssmallman]

Great video and amazing restoration of my favorite Toyota model. I’ve truly loved watching this restoration (I’ve got a P model so had never seen the L model digital dash working - fantastic). Bravo, Sarah!

[@vonfragyou]

Such a beautiful car. Always mad at myself for not buying one. You did an amazing job on restoration.

[@ianmcmillan1411]

I just LOVE the sound of that 6-cylinder..

[@jaynevill2452]

I grew up with the same generation Supra/Celica. Sarah if I win it I'll let you borrow it periodically. What a survivor. It needs to be a weekend only car.

[@stevenjames1138]

GREAT job on that resto, Sarah! And I agree that this was the best generation of Supra. Not the fastest. Obviously. But the best in terms of pure driving fun. Kinda like a six-cylinder Miata! Congrats to whoever wins this beauty! Hope they treasure her and take great care of her.

[@rayschoch5882]

It looks great and sounds great, Sarah. I'm especially fond of those wheels, and I like the other additions you've made. If I were 30 years younger, I'd be entered to win it, but I doubt I could get in and out of it without a lot of discomfort, so I'll let it pass. Nice work, as usual.

[@99wolfseditionify]

The smirk during the beans test. Nobody builds things like Sarah does. Job meticulously done and done amazingly. I would love it and hug it and take it for walkies

[@lordapophis7438]

This woman really knows her stuff! Give her 5 stars!!!

[@waynesmith2287]

I had this model back in the day and it just blew everything else off the road. It was quick and fast. Learnt 2 things from this video. (1) You could unscrew the service light. (2) I could never work out why my rear window washer wasn't working because I didn't know about the rear tank! Wish I had it now.

[@71moonprince]

Very cool, Vintage Ride.

[@fstrgray82]

I’ve wanted one of these since I was in high school in the late-90s. Still want one!

[@nismo370z4]

The wires in the windshield are the antenna for the radio,not a defroster. Car turned out great !

[@SarahnTuned]

That's wild.. I just went to look at after reading this, you're right! hahaha

[@mostcom]

In the 1970s, General Motors pressed small wires into the windshields. These wires were in a "T" formation, with two wires coming up through the center, then branching out to each side. I had a 74 fire bird and 74 venture with this feature.

[@mostcom]

Excellent initial phase of what should be a long and enjoyable resto-mod project for whoever receives it. Such a great start and direction. I'm sure they will be inspired by your work. Your scores are believable and you are going to have to get yourself one to keep... maybe?

[@elizabethdaigle6530]

It is a beautifully made car . They don’t make cars with love and quality anymore I hope the person/people who wins this car takes care of it too !! Thank you for showing us the car👍

[@lordmartyn7199]

My late Father in law owned a supra 2.8, I drove it once, and was impressed with the car, this was over two decades ago, but a very nice car!

[@milodemoray]

I love what you did with her Sarah. As for no ABS, that's where a big part of the fun is in a car like this.

[@johnmorgan1629]

17:55 "I hope this car lives on for another 4 years." Hopefully it's got another 40 years in it at least Sarah

[@tensortab8896]

Straight 6, old school, tech, with some modernization. I wish you were keeping it. With the Quatro, what a pair. Maybe add a Z or BMW from the same Era for the triple.

[@SarahnTuned]

I have the next project at my house already.. you'll see it when the Celica is done.

[@petersturt8746]

Cool to see people starting to notice the mk2

[@SarahnTuned]

I've always had a thing for them since I was little.

[@247365Jake]

Had an 1983 midnight blue metallic 5spd with cloth Ricaro seats. I was a teenager in college and had a blast with it. Thanks mom and dad😊. Would love to have one today !!!! Thanks for bringing back so many memories❤️

[@transcondriver]

I miss my '82 GT. White, flared fenders, wide tires, manual, analog cluster... a blast to drive and great looking. That I4 got tired and burned oil.
