A Teaser - The Duchess' new "Phoenix" GT

[GTRS Fiero]

The BMWta Supra?

I've driven a Supra.  The old Supra from the 70's or 80's.  It ain't no slouch.  I think it had an inline 6.

The new ones can outdo many late model muscle cars.

I raced a '94 Supra.  I think it was 6 liters.  Somewhere, I saw that year was a 2.4L, though.  It was noisy.  Very noisy.  It was not fast.  My Firehawk outran the Supra.

The BMWta Supra?

BMWta?

[GTRS Fiero]

Toyota partnered with BMW to learn how to build a better vehicle.  The partnership developed the new Supra.

[Wreck It Ralph]

Wow 😳 dear god I hope he doesn’t figure that out

[GTRS Fiero]

Maybe BMW-ota?

Wreck It Ralph went down to look at Duchess.  I never managed to get down there due to the back injury and other constraints. 

I believe he said that David wasn't willing to sell the GT that belonged to the son. 

So, what condition was the Phoenix in? Worth shipping to Germany?

[Wreck It Ralph]

It’s rough. But workable.

[GTRS Fiero]

Probably best to get it running here, before shipping it.

[Donster]

Hmmm........
Thanks for the info Ralph.
But how rough is rough?
Starting to wonder if it would be worth surprising Anne with the car.
\D

[Wreck It Ralph]

Well I’ve seen worse for sure. If it was the year and style I wanted then I’d buy it. Just don’t expect perfection and it doesn’t run right now.

[GTRS Fiero]

Probably need to get more details and some pics.

Of course, if Donster could see in person...

Been sitting in a yard under a tree for 5 + years I believe. When it was parked it was not starting. Turned over but would not fire off. Dash cracks, console warped, seats need covers. I didn’t take photos but it’s not far if you want me to sometime next week. Assuming it’s still there.
