This 1991 Toyota Cresta GT would be right at home as a daily driver or a nice starting point for a build. The JZX81 chassis has plenty of aftermarket support – and this one is equipped with the twin-turbo 1JZ-GTE known for its stoutness and power potential. The exterior overall is in good shape but does have some light blemishes. The upper surfaces and bumpers show wear from age, but the paint still shines nicely as a whole. The body is in good shape with no major dents or dings. Overall the appearance has been kept OEM with the exception of aftermarket 15” wheels.
The interior is in similar shape and retains the original appearance. The seats and carpet have some minor staining in areas, but are free of rips and tears. The dash is in exceptional condition, free of cracks and bubbles, and features a working digital dash. The door panels have no major blemishes and all trim pieces are present.
Mechanically this Cresta is sound and ready for immediate use. The 1JZ-GTE engine starts instantly and idles correctly. The automatic transmission is in good condition and shifts smoothly. Parts are readily accessible for a manual swap if the next owner chose to do so. The A/C functions and blows cold for hot summer days. Currently this Cresta has 49k original miles and a recent Shaken (Japanese Inspection) showing that it was roadworthy and still being driven in Japan.
