Background Story of this 1997 Toyota Classic

Overview of 1997 Toyota Classic For Sale by Owner

In the Nineties, Toyota went a bit misty-eyed. They released a limited-production vehicle called the Toyota Classic. Inspired by the Toyota AA from the 1930s, the Classic sat on a Toyota Hilux platform and came with its running gear. This interesting pastiche of 1930s styling with 1990s mechanicals is supremely rare nowadays. Toyota sold just 100 units and charged US$ 75,000 for each one. So it isn’t often that a Toyota Classic comes our way, and yet, here we are. Say Konichiwa (Hello in Japanese) to this 1997 Toyota Classic from Chesterfield, Virginia. An excellent addition to a discerning collector’s lot, this curio has done over 230,000 miles which tells us two things. One, it’s pleasant to live with or else it wouldn’t have been driven this much. Two, it’s your typical bulletproof Toyota or it wouldn’t have survived. The way we see it, with the relevant maintenance, this vehicle can easily head for 500,000 miles!

Exterior and Interior

The look of this 1997 Toyota Classic is pure 1930s and 1940s, right down to the vehicle’s vintage style, running boards, podded headlamps, chrome bumpers and externally-mounted spare wheel cover. However, its wheels are of a more modern style and you’ll note its window beadings and door handles to be modern units from Toyota’s 1990s models. Of course, being Toyota, they couldn’t just let an old-looking car be old in design and engineering, could they? No, that legendary Toyota quality had to be applied. The spacious interior of this 1997 Toyota Classic is decidedly modern, with red leather seats and wood interior trim. The dashboard is unmistakably Hilux and includes features such as air conditioning and a Panasonic radio. We also see a Nardi steering wheel and modern conveniences like power windows.

Engine

This 1997 Toyota Classic uses a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated gas engine that makes around 96hp and 118lb-ft of torque. Yes, it’s in a low state of tune but that enhances its longevity without affecting the car’s drivability. Power goes to the rear wheels via a 4-speed automatic gearbox. Power steering and power-assisted brakes are included too, ensuring a thoroughly modern driving experience.

Ultra-rare, limited edition, retro-styled luxury cars aren’t usually among the first images that come to mind when one thinks of Toyota. In fact, at first sight, it would be perfectly understandable to mistake this car for a product from another manufacturer. However, this is very much a Toyota through and through. Only 100 examples of this very exotic automobile were ever produced to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the very first Toyota passenger car: the Toyota AA (or Toyoda AA, as it was called initially). The original AA was inspired by the Chrysler products of the era, as Mr. Toyoda (father of Toyota) had a Desoto Airflow shipped to Japan and reverse-engineered. The Toyota Classic debuted in 1996 and was priced at approximately $75,000. It was styled to look as close as possible to the car it was paying tribute to, while meeting modern regulations and standards. All 100 examples were sold out, partly fueled perhaps by the rising popularity for retro-styled cars in 1990s Japan, as seen by the Mitsuokas of the time and by the Toyota Origin that would come out a few years after the Classic.

1992 Toyota Supra Turbo

PENDING SALE
$22,999

The Toyota Supra is a legend of JDM circles, and gained a lot of popularity in the United States too. This was primarily the fourth generation Supra, with its appearance in The Fast And The Furious franchise. But there are Supras from earlier generations that are just as cool, desirable, fast, and fun to drive. Take the third generation, from which this 1992 Toyota Supra MkIII Turbo hails. It’s got pop-up headlamps and some cars came with removable targa roofs! Suffice to say, this 50,750-mile example from Rochester, Minnesota does have those neat features, and a turbocharged straight six under the hood. No, it’s not a 2JZ-GTE, but something that was considered fearsome back in its day.

PENDING SALE
$44,999

One of America’s best-selling cars, the Toyota Camry midsize family sedan has carved out a name for itself, and one of sensibility. For those who seek no-nonsense family motoring with excellent reliability and the right mix of features and practicality, the Camry is the de facto choice. That’s why you won’t find a Camry on sale very often, but when you do, it’s always wise to act with speed. Take this 28,000-mile 2019 Toyota Camry XSE from Brooklyn as a prime example. Its low mileage makes it basically brand-new, while its got a host of custom carbon fiber bits and new wheels to jazz up its appearance. Inside, it still remains a practical and well-equipped family car with plenty of space and tech toys to keep you satisfied. That’s why you should buy it without a second thought!

2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution GSR

PENDING SALE
$34,999

Anyone who has even a passing interest in cars likely knows about the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. This is what happened when Mitsubishi decided to inject some of their World Rally Championship-winning DNA into their Lancer compact car. Ten generations of Evolution were made between 1992 and 2016, thrilling enthusiasts across the globe. Early models sadly didn’t make it to the United States, but later ones did. This particular 2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X GSR is rather interesting, as it’s from the last generation of Evo, as they are fondly known. With its 2.0-liter MIVEC TURBO engine, 5-speed manual transmission and Sight & Sound Package, it’s got quite a value proposition to offer. In short, it’s a ferociously quick family car that can easily settle down for a daily drive, then buckle up for the weekend blast at the track.

1991 Acura NSX

PENDING SALE
$82,495

When the Honda NSX two-seat mid-engined sports car was released in 1990, it was widely regarded to be Japan’s first proper supercar. NSX stands for New Sports car – eXperimental, and saw inspiration from many corners including Formula 1 and the F-16 jet fighter. It also showcased Honda’s now-ubiquitous VTEC system, and received development input from the late great Aryton Senna. In the United States, the NSX was sold under Honda’s premium Acura badge, which showcased its positioning appropriately. Today, we have a nice 1991 Acura NSX for sale from Tampa. This car has driven just over 84,000 miles so far and comes with the original owner’s manual and service records. Furthermore, it's got an all-aluminum monocoque frame, a feature that the NSX was the first production car in the world to have.
