29k-Mile One-Owner 1983 Toyota Cressida 5-Speed

Description

The 1983 Toyota Cressida marked a pivotal year for Toyota’s luxury sedan lineup. As part of the third generation (X60 series), the 1983 model showcased Toyota’s ambition to blend Japanese engineering with luxury features typically found in European sedans. It was built on a rear-wheel-drive platform and shared many components with the Toyota Supra, including the 2.8-liter inline-six 5M-GE engine, which delivered smooth performance and respectable power for its class.

The Cressida was equipped with advanced features for its time, such as electronic fuel injection, a digital clock, power-operated windows, and automatic climate control. Its standard independent rear suspension and four-wheel disc brakes contributed to a refined driving experience. The interior emphasized comfort and quietness, appealing to buyers seeking an upscale alternative to domestic sedans, and served as Toyota’s flagship model in North America before the introduction of Lexus in 1989.

This 1983 Cressida has remained with its original owner and now shows 30k miles. Optioned with a five-speed manual transmission and limited-slip differential, the car is finished in bronze and equipped with a power-operated sunroof.
