Equipment
Wire wheels, Michelin tires, dual mirrors, Borrani wheels, woodrim steering wheel, console, power windows, AM/FM radio.
Condition
Used but very clean engine bay. Very good paint other than a small blister on the tail. Straight body, even gaps. Very good interior. Not overdone. Sympathetically restored and just right. A rare US market lefthand drive car from new, one of 62 examples equipped for sale here. Owned by racer Otto Linton and subsequently in several private collections. Cosmetic restoration on a sound example done in 2007.
Market commentary
Sold by Mecum in Monterey last August for $1,017,500. After the surge in interest and values for 2000 GTs, they have become relatively regular sights at auction. This is fourth one at auction in the States just since the start of the year, the tenth one since the start of 2015. Values have dipped in recent months as the supply on the market has risen to respond to demand and headline prices. The Toyota 2000GT market is nothing if not thin so what was a high six- or low seven-figure car two years ago is now moderate six-figures and will be until they disappear from the market and become rare again. Most multi-store Toyota dealers probably already have one.
