Conversely, a perfect 69 Camaro with an original 327 is worth 25k while a perfect 69 Camaro with an original 302 is worth 70k.
An original 6-speed TT in good condition modded or not will be about 25-35K depending on the color, and an Auto NA that was TT'd and 6 or 5 speed swapped will be under 25k in the same condition, again color is a big factor and if it's a hard top or targa is huge

If you don't know **** about something why do you put forth Insight and state it is factual when your going off of word of mouth? Tech not even word of mouth, your saying what you think from conversations with friends of yours who own supra's and going off the fact that they've never mentioned what sells for more

There is a huge market for Supras, but every single variance (NA, NA-T, Stock TT, BPU, BPU+, APU, etc) will pull a very different price because of demand. On top of that, color rarity is a big factor, as many of these cars have less than 30 or so that are identical in year+color+trim. And of course, the 1996+ OBDII cars go for more than their predecessors.

That's just scratching the surface. And although the Supra isn't as valuable as some of the classic muscle cars y'all were talking about, the rate at which they are going up in value is so high that it won't be long before stock examples of Supras will be approaching/surpassing those cars.
This man knows what he's talking about
