But you could buy this "infamous" 8 sec Supra for a mere $40+k  now on eeeee bay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Toyot...spagenameZWDVW ....ooops, I see the current bid is up to $50k if you can believe what you read there.
A local guy around here who has a few turbo Buicks was selling one a while ago, I noticed the for sale sign on it as I drove by his place so I did a U-bee and went in to look at it, this was an early GN "hot air" car ...I guess you'd know the early ones didn't have intercoolers and ran turbo out right to the intake thus "hot air"; anyway, it had 87k miles and VERY CLEAN asking $8000. I thought that was a very good deal for such a nice car. His other later year GN was mildly moded and running high 10 et's, just as clean looking. Definitely very good bang for the buck if you don't want aggressive road course handling capability like the Supra has. Not that I haven't seen road racing turbo Buicks, but those are highly moded to a whole 'nother level.

$8000 is an aweful lot for a hot air car. You can get an '87 Turbo Regal for less than 5K. They're exactly like the GN's except they aren't black. They're probably the ultimate sleeper cars of all time.
