Going up!

 

This is a 1987 Toyota Soarer GT Turbo, the JDM version of what became the Lexus SC in North America; This generation was never sold in America as a Toyota or a Lexus. This car may seem mostly stock, but the owner swapped in a 2JZ from a newer Supra; The car is fully functional, though the A/C system has been removed (the owner does plan on putting A/C back in). The owner recently moved to Pennsylvania from Texas because his wife got a new job here; This is my first time seeing a Soarer in person, but I am hoping to see more and more of these JDM Toyotas here in the states as they become legal to register and drive under the 25-year loophole (This example is a 1987, and has been legal here since 2012 as a result)!

Factory Technics AM/FM stereo cassette, that unfortunately will not pick up any radio stations in North America as they use different frequencies in Japan; The cassette player will accept our cassettes though!

 

My Denon had to be retuned for AM/FM it can be done.

 

I'd kinda want a Bluetooth radio with a CD player and the ability have a backup camera...

 

Intermittent windshield wipers!

 

1987 and it has power-operated retractable mirrors!

 

1993 Supra; This car is in good shape and has low miles, but among other things the A/C system is not intact. The car is co-owned by a father and son who plan on removing the body kit and restoring the car back to stock form; This includes repainting the car in a factory red color, putting on stock wheels, and fixing the A/C...

This one guy at the event was using a 1995 Toyo camera to take pictures of both the 1987 Soarer and the 1993 Supra...

 

The thing about certain events in my area like this cars and coffee is that they generally break before 11am, and both the Soarer and the Supra left before I did...
