Quicksilver 6-speed manual
1998 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo Description
You know how rare and coveted the quicksilver color is among this rare breed of car. This car left the factory as a non-turbo automatic and lived in California until 2014 when it was properly "GTE-swapped" by a shop in Salt Lake City Utah with 10 years specializing exclusively in the MKIV. They performed the work flawlessly; no shortcuts taken. The car was sold to an older gentleman in NC who had hip surgery and was unable to work the clutch, so only 300 miles have been added to the odometer since that time.

Having owned 17 MKIVs since 2001, I value my reputation in the Supra community too highly to over-hype this car. It stands on its own merits, as advertised. If you "could" find an all original 98 QS today you'd pay $80K++. This is an opportunity to own this coveted color in a show-ready package with a bullet-proof engine and tranny for nearly $30K less. Consider that with 119K miles, you can enjoy driving it without the guilt. And in its spit-shined condition inside and out, admirers won't believe your car is nearly 20 years old. Serious buyers - call or text John at 801-319-2309. Thanks for looking!
