The second-generation Celica Supra, known as the A60, debuted for the 1982 model year and established its own identity apart from the standard Celica. It featured sharp, angular styling and a new 2.8-liter DOHC inline-6 engine, the 5M-GE, producing 145 horsepower. Two distinct versions were offered: the luxury-oriented L-Type and the sportier P-Type, which added fiberglass fender flares, an eight-way adjustable driver's seat, and wider wheels.
Collectors are drawn to the A60 for its quintessential 1980s Japanese design, including pop-up headlights and available digital instrumentation. It represents a more accessible entry point into classic Supra ownership compared to the later, more expensive A80 generation. The P-Type models are particularly sought after for their aggressive looks and are seen as the definitive version of the A60.
The market for these cars has shown consistent growth, with an average sale price around $17,626 across 80 recent transactions. While project cars can be found for just a few thousand dollars, exceptional, low-mileage examples are now selling for close to $50,000. This wide spread reflects a market that heavily rewards originality and excellent condition.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust thoroughly, especially in the rear wheel arches, rocker panels, and under the rear hatch spoiler.
- The 5M-GE engine can be prone to head gasket failure, so look for signs of coolant and oil mixing.
- Inspect the interior for common issues like cracked dashboards, torn seat bolsters, and faded plastics, as replacement parts are scarce.
- Test all electronics, including the digital dash and trip computer if equipped, as repairs can be difficult and costly.
- P-Type models with the factory fender flares are more desirable, but ensure they aren't hiding rust or previous damage.
Prices for the second-generation Celica Supra range from around $2,300 for projects to $48,000 for top-spec examples.
