Thank you all for the comments! I wasn't very impressed by the color when i saw it in pictures, but I fell in love when I saw it in person.
Yes, those pictures were taken at the Big Ser!! I bought the car from California and decided to drive the famous Pacific Coast Highway. For those who haven't, it is a must.

Real Cars
Pete,
You built it for Larry, who had it done for me. This was years ago. I don't think we've ever actually met but I know you and your company. Many of the local Supra crew would be people that we know in common. Marko is on here and also has a 65, but a CL.
It would be great to talk to you about this platform and tuning/turbos for it. As you may or may not already know, we have K24s on our car with integrated exhaust manifolds. There have been discussions about upgrading turbos on this car but with so much torque on tap already people are scared of breaking the drivetrain. Without question, these motors could take a good amount more power, but we're not sure about torque on the trans/rearend/etc.
Tuning is also a huge issue.
