I've always loved these cars. Toyota 2000GT fetches $1.15 million at auction.

Cool cars, but for that much money I'd only want a Toyota 7 twin turbo.

I've always wondered why no one makes replicas of these...

it's no E30 M3 vert

Search for the Don Davis auction thread on here. I believe Sherpa was there.

I'm not surprised at the price and I expect they might continue to climb in value. The Toyota 2000GT is THE must have car for any wealthy Japanese collector.

For the money, I'd want a Toyota GT-One, but I think it'd probably take more than $1.15M to get one if it was even possible?

I think this thread needs more pictures

I wouldn't be surprised if it had gone for a lot more

A local toyota dealer has one in the same color. Supposedly he paid less than 20k for it decades ago. pretty good investment

Here it is in the showroom of his new store.

And here it is in front of his original store in the late 80s

I'm not surprised. These things are only going to get more valuable. Very cool car :thumbup:

Really elegant looking car.

 

[mojocoggo]

Now I feel even cooler about having driven one.

Wait, So the average 2000GT is worth 1 million usd? Really?

Wow, I had no idea. I saw some pics from a meet in Japan few days back and there were like 20 of them. Next to measlie RX7s and Supras.

Had no idea they were worth so much.

Amazing car, but at 1.1 million I'm taking my money somewhere else(not that I have 1 million)
