okay i've found this 87 supra and i would like to know if its worth the money, here are the owners comments.
This is a beautiful turbo supra from 1987! i purchased it last year, and replaced the turbo. it is upgraded to a T3/T04E. It has light metallic blue paint, with a wonderfully taken care of dark blue interior. the only interior problem is there is just a slight tearing in the drivers side left bolstering, which is very common, very hard actually to find an older car that has been driven without that. I replaced the turbo because the stock CT26 was having some trouble, but I didnt quite have the correct oil line to complete the T04E swap. I used a braided steel line with a fitting into the turbo that works, but will need to be replaced with the correct fitting one because it has a slight leak. The only other thing is that it is an older car, so the suspension is going to need to have some work done with it. It has the TEMS adjustable suspension, but the bushings are wearing, as will happen. the TEMS system does work. The car has a brand new power antenna, and adjustable lumbar supports in the seats. The only exterior problem is that there is a dent in the fender (my friend's dad bumped it with his Stratus) but I do have a replacement fender (red) that I will include so that it can be quickly fixed.
Sorry if its too long but I thank the ones who could help me out.

If it's worth it depends on alot of things, the biggest being the price of the car which isn't listed. Also you need to ask what manifold or adapter he has installed to fit the T3 flange, not many T3 flanged manifold were made for the 7M. Also what other supporting mods he has done to go with the new turbo and more airflow. If it's hacked together at all you need to just walk away from it.
