Hey... even later. I just bought this one..

1990 Noble White GTUs, 138k miles
AC option

i found it on Ebay and bought it for $800... runs and drives fine. needs an alternator and CRAZY bodywork and paint... its been neglected. but, for $800, ill join the club!

i went on an 11 hour road trip to get this car... rode in the bed of an S-10 Extreme for 6 or 7 hours of that ride... the VIN is around here somewheres.... i had a Carfax check done on it.

86 white with blue interior
Vin # posted on $400 is it worth it thread
(to lazy to look it up)
New junk yard tranny
Exhaust (work in progress) took pre cats and cats of and replaced with $20 truck muffler and adding single pipe or maybe double pipe? back to one or two cherry bombs in place of mufflers.
next will be loud stereo(ha ha so I can hear it)
To many ideas and not near enough money!

Psshh I'll post the vin: JM1FC3317K0704142
I said the PREVIOUS OWNER installed it on my "GTUs", don't believe me, come look at the rear-end I believe it says LSD, and the little stickers frm the side of the car are in the glove compartment, they were so worn out from the weather that they are in two peices, had to be removed, working on some new modified ones to put on there..........that's my secret though.

Sweet glad this tread re-surfaced. I am being lazy on finishing TeamGTUs's website but I am always updating the GTUs registry.

If you would like your car on the registry send me your name, # of miles, year, color, vin, mods, etc. e-mail info@teamgtus.com

Thanks guys and keep the spirit of the GTUs alive

Ironically, I'm selling mine as well. I feel like it's going to a good home now, though.

Nice Supra.

GTUs only came in 89 or 90. it has the small s next to the big GTU.

Not the same compared to other GTU cars. 91's didn't even have any trim levels other than Coupe, Turbo, and Convertible. This information is all present in the FAQs at the top of the 2nd gen section.
