Today's UCOTD is a straight-up project car.

There's no doubt from the ad that this 1982 Toyota Supra MKII needs help. Hence the low price of just $4,500.

Apparently, the car starts and runs, but not for long. It needs paint, exhaust, an interior restoration, and new flooring in the spare-tire well.

The car does have a bunch of new mechanical parts such as fuel injectors, fuel rails, and distributor. Most of the brake parts seem to be new.

If you have time on your hands and a love for old Toyotas, check out this Georgia-based car here.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

If it gets cheap enough someone will want the transmission

$4500? Do you know how many 7 series and diesel Maybachs one could get for that? I know a guy who could get no less than 12.

Jalop1991 You do realize, you can get a $1 lease payment on any vehicle from any manufacturer, for any term.Just make a big enough "down payment". But hey, at least you have bragging rights, right?I keep seeing this insanity being marketed. "Polestar, only $399 month!" (with a huge "down payment"). Are people really this stupid?$7500 to enter into a lease just so you can say "but the payment is only $559!"??? Good God. And when some car full of Kia Boyz slams into you and totals it as you drive it off the lot, what then? The dealership will laugh at you as they count your $7500 and you stand there on the street looking like a fool.Why do people who lease, put any money down on a depreciating and very easily totalled asset like a car?
