I was out earlier and came across this Supra sitting with a for sale sign in a bar parking lot in Vermillion, OH (20 minutes from my house.) It looked good enough that I circled back to have a look. It is very clean. Sign says '86 Original Owner. It is an automatic trans, non turbo with gray cloth but odo says 93k miles!
I did not call about it myself but took pictures if someone wants to know more. When I got home, I opened CL but I could not find the car listed there.
However, when on CL looking for this Supra, I came across this '90 Cressida in Wakeman, OH (which happens to be 30 minutes from my house.)

In reply to Appleseed :
The Cressida could be a "buy-it" not "build-it" Challenge car. Sure you have to negotiate the price down a lot but...
It needs tires and tires are budget exempt for challenge purposes.
As for rear brake caliper/rotor, Rock Auto has $25 rebuilt caliper (or rebuild yourself) and $11.26 for rear rotors. Fresh pads are budget exempt. So, even with shipping of caliper and rotors the total price is about $50 from RockAuto.
If the Cressida is as stated (big if) then if you could buy it for $1,900 it is Challenge capable. Maybe down to $1,600 would leave room for newer wheels.
