Toyota’s fourth-generation Supra has been moving up in the collector car ranks, with low-mileage turbocharged examples selling for some big numbers. So, does a rising tide lift all boats? That’s the question in front of us when considering tatty, non-turbocharged examples like this 1994 model listed here on eBay with just shy of 150,000 miles. Bidders have already pushed it to $17,600, so clearly the lack of a turbo and its condition isn’t discouraging potential buyers.

Working in the Supra’s favor is the fact that lesser models can still look like the top banana car, what with the iconic spoiler and racy good looks applying to all models. However, as this car reveals, years of poster car levels of fame after its huge exposure in Hollywood thanks to the Fast & The Furious franchise means younger enthusiasts are more interested in messing with looks and performance than with preserving a future classic for the long-haul. The cheap aftermarket wheels and dark tint are two indications this Supra hasn’t led the life of a garage queen.

The seller doesn’t shy away from any of this, noting the interior, in particular, is not up to his tastes as it’s a custom job that doesn’t look all that good. Here, the full assortment of cheap owner treatment is on display, with aluminum “racing pedals” and painted sections of the dash the kind of thing people without much money but with the overwhelming desire to modify a car do. At least the car in question is a factory manual transmission example, as automatics were an option, and I suspect its three pedals have a lot to do with what’s driving bidding activity.

Now, just because it’s not turbocharged does not mean this Supra is a slouch. The naturally aspirated cars featured the 2JZ-GE engine, a healthy inline-six making 220 b.h.p. and wildly popular today as a mill used in engine swaps. However, healthy is not a word I’d use to describe the one found in this example, as the seller notes it runs poorly and will need to be trailered, despite being able to move under its own power. The classic Toyota Supra won’t retreat from gaining value anytime soon, but examples like this still need a lot of love to return to form.
