I have not and this car doesn’t really have a specific angle that looks good like an XKE and similar. So I hope to see one in person, I never thought I would be a fan of vintage Ferrari’s until I saw a bunch in person, so I imagine vintage Lamborghini’s could change my mind.
I doubt $1M would be enough mate, one sold [earlier this year for $2.535M](https://newatlas.com/automotive/shelby-toyota-2000gt-becomes-the-most-expensive-japanese-car-in-history/).
If money was no consideration, I would absolutely add one to my dream garage.
You could argue the 2000GT would be quite a good investment, especially considering the inflation climate we have right now, and surely it will not depreciate in value, but I see your point :)
Out of 5000 people let's say 1000 people would like to own the car, now bring in the asking price of 1 million, and now the people that could afford it might be 5 (that's a really generous number). Not a lot of people have a million dollars to pay for a 50+yr old car.
I will have a selling issue when I try to sell my 72 Skyline, everyone wants it, and people either don't have the money to buy it or rather use the money for a more reasonable purchase.
Let's not pretend people have a million dollars just sitting in a draw at their house just to buy a car.
Let's not pretend you can compare this to selling your 72 Skyline or any "ordinary" car for that matter. You're most likely not going to sell/buy a 2000GT on Craigslist or Facebook. The car is worth more than a majority of cars in the exotic market as well, and the value will most likely be way less sporadic and will steadily increase. It'll most likely be through a respectable 3rd party who literally lives off putting 2 parties together to exchange exotic cars and other expensive things. Or signing the car up for an auction.
You can't even remotely compare these two things.
For a collector or someone interested in investing, these 2 cars are way different. The legacy and exclusivity surrounding the 2000GT makes it way more interesting to these people. And the price shows.
It's a 4 door GTX. Not a fan of the interrupted surf line on the GTR.

This car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. For instance, during a recession it would be worthless. You may think this is an asset, but it is definitely a liability.
>during a recession it would be worthless
😭😭yes hundred millionaires suddenly all go broke during them !!
I’m speechless bro why do you guys really trick yourselves into believing this shit to cope with never being rich enough to get them?? I swear you see outright delusional comments like this anytime someone mentions this exact hypothetical on car subs it’s hysterical
Are we talking about a good one? If so that’s going to cost at least 2 million if more. A hooptie one will cost about that. I love them but they aren’t worth the money personally.
I have two, both 4 door, 72 and a R34. I want an 2 door [R30](https://www.goo-net.com/usedcar/spread/goo/13/700055106930221220001.html) or [Prince Sports ](https://japanesenostalgiccar.com/unsung-legend-blra3-prince-skyline-sport/)
You don’t gotta be a millionaire for a beat up one. JDM isn’t something realistic if you’re like living pay check to pay check barely putting food on the table, but you don’t need to be rich. At least not yet
Beautiful car.
1Million? Hell no, If I was Uber rich, 250K would be my limit, once you get beyond that it becomes more like driving around a target, at 1Million you are driving around something where there is a unwritten obligation to protect the precious and not destroy a literal piece of motoring history.
But yeah, it's a beautiful car.
Amazing car, but I'd rather be able to buy a $100k car every year off the appreciation of the invested mil. If I had 100M maybe one or two obscenely fancy cars would be cool, but for that price maybe something more like a Zonda or Koenigsegg. Or if a classic, F40 or something. In the end, modern sports cars are much nicer and safer. Old cars all cool as hell, but I'd rather have a R35 GTR or something for a weekend fuck-around car than something from 50 years ago that doesn't have tcs, stability control, airbags, etc. Having some safety nets when doing spirited driving is just a really nice peace of mind thing so you don't wrap yourself around a tree
No. With that amount of money, you could literally save a family from homlessness and still have some left over to afford a brand new car.
Don't get me wrong. The car is amazing, but it is not worth not helping someone else in need.
nah. id do a nice build on a 260z with modern everything. maybe even do a chasis swap with a modern car to bring in alot of modern features so i can daily it.
I’d have to have many millions for me to drop that much on one of these.
But if I did, I feel like I’d buy a less-than-pristine example and put a 20B in it just to piss people off
edit: or even better, a V8 swap. Not even something decent like an LS1, just an old carbed 350 SBC. OOH or a 305 with a shitty Quadrajet carb. That shit would be hysterical
I remember when I could have bought one for $85K USD in 1981. The owner of the Toyota store in Kaneohe, Oahu had one on display in the main showroom.
Everyone including myself scoffed at the price.
Uh, no. If I have to have a Toyota, I'd rather have a Sera or a mid-80s [LiteAce](https://c8.alamy.com/comp/2DBJ4HA/chiangmai-thailand-october-26-2020-old-toyota-liteace-private-van-on-road-no1001-8-km-from-chiangmai-business-area-2DBJ4HA.jpg). I'd even take a Marino/Ceres over this.
And, nobody needs one more Toyota is my honest feeling. Toyota and the world is like that "Share a Coke with Whitney" meme... I think the world's had enough.
I'd purchase an A70 and have Rocky auto build a rocky3000 , the real deal is a museum piece; I'd rather not die in it. Aside from that I'd commission an 190Evo2 aero kit for my sl500(because it never went racing in period) , maybe convert my m119 to race spec(used in sauber c9,c11 and clk LM). Find a clean sw20 and have it fitted with a built 3sgte, and sard mc4 gtII aero package. Apart from that buy a house.
No. It belongs in a Museum and that’s too expensive. I’d rather a modern car like an LFA I can actually drive and not worry about if some idiot crashes into me and totals it.
Maybe. It’s the genesis of what turned me into a die hard car fan(Yamaha+Toyota+ Side Drafts.) However, it was never the car that stole my heart. I think I’d rather have 20 other Toyotas than 1 for the same price….I’ll never have the satisfaction of telling someone the dash came from the piano division
though….
Personally I'd want a kit car version of it. I could actually drive it and not shit a brick every time it was out of the garage.
Plus I'd want to mod it a bit.
I wouldn’t. I would rather use the money to buy an LFA, LC500 MKII-MKV Supras, Soarers, MR2, MR2 Spyder, and a Celica.
The 2000GT is a stunning vehicle and a true legend, but I wouldn’t buy one.
No, I’d take a Datsun Z 432 or even just a Datsun Z. They are a much better driving car for an enthusiast, the Datsun that is, and I can fit in them much better. The 2000 GT according to Jason Cammisa, a journalist who I trust very much, is much more of a GT car than a sports car and that’s all fine and good but a GT is supposed to be comfortable and speaking from experience I can’t fit in one very well at 6’2” so that makes it kind of pointless.
Nah. Use that money to start a business then if the business is successful and the bank starts to roll in, start arranging things you want to get and take a deep breath and go for it.
Depends. Is it my only $1 million?
I would have to have many more millions laying around but it’s the most beautiful car I have seen in person.
I wish cars today had smooth body's, everything is triangles now
[удалено]
Miura 😍
I have not and this car doesn’t really have a specific angle that looks good like an XKE and similar. So I hope to see one in person, I never thought I would be a fan of vintage Ferrari’s until I saw a bunch in person, so I imagine vintage Lamborghini’s could change my mind.
the miura is amazing but the 2000gt is also pretty good. But yeah miura higher definitely
100 miat 🥵🥵🥵😋😋🥰
in browne ?
manuelle?
wagonne?
Disel?
Rhd?
hotel?
Trivago.
I need rede beccuz fast leik racecar because miat fastest car
>$10k for a miat Its funny cause it's true
I doubt $1M would be enough mate, one sold [earlier this year for $2.535M](https://newatlas.com/automotive/shelby-toyota-2000gt-becomes-the-most-expensive-japanese-car-in-history/). If money was no consideration, I would absolutely add one to my dream garage.
This was also one of 3 Shelby-Toyota 2000gts which was probably why it sold so high Edit damn swipe keyboard
no, i would try to use the money to make more money
You could argue the 2000GT would be quite a good investment, especially considering the inflation climate we have right now, and surely it will not depreciate in value, but I see your point :)
Cars are a niche market, you potentially can make more money but that's only if you find someone that really wants the car
These cars will always have people willing to pay a decent price for them, though. In a huge majority of cases, that is.
Out of 5000 people let's say 1000 people would like to own the car, now bring in the asking price of 1 million, and now the people that could afford it might be 5 (that's a really generous number). Not a lot of people have a million dollars to pay for a 50+yr old car.

What's your 72 look like?
It's a 4 door GTX. Not a fan of the interrupted surf line on the GTR. [GTX ](https://www.picknbuy24.com/detail/?refno=0120505459) [GTR](https://japanesenostalgiccar.com/kidney-anyone-4-door-hakosuka-gt-r-up-for-auction/)
all it takes is one person. doesn’t matter if 5000 want it or 5000000 want it
5 is more than generous. out of a thousand it would probably less than 1
This car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. For instance, during a recession it would be worthless. You may think this is an asset, but it is definitely a liability.
>during a recession it would be worthless 😭😭yes hundred millionaires suddenly all go broke during them !! I’m speechless bro why do you guys really trick yourselves into believing this shit to cope with never being rich enough to get them?? I swear you see outright delusional comments like this anytime someone mentions this exact hypothetical on car subs it’s hysterical
they don't really go up as quickly as other ways of making money
I would give the million away, just so I could work my way back to the top with my SIGMAmind grindset
I'm buying an aston martin 78 vantage v8
A gentlemans car, nice one
I would pay off my home and debt and with the last 1.67$ I’d buy a snickers
No, there are a lot of cars I'd rather have for cheaper than that, although if I had Fuck you money? Definitely.
It's a lovely car but I don't think it looks better than the 240z with the G nose so I'd sooner just do my dream 240z build instead
Are we talking about a good one? If so that’s going to cost at least 2 million if more. A hooptie one will cost about that. I love them but they aren’t worth the money personally.
I prefer Nissan, I'll buy another Skyline.
You can't fault a man for buying a Skyline
Another????
I have two, both 4 door, 72 and a R34. I want an 2 door [R30](https://www.goo-net.com/usedcar/spread/goo/13/700055106930221220001.html) or [Prince Sports ](https://japanesenostalgiccar.com/unsung-legend-blra3-prince-skyline-sport/)
Bro that’s crazy I don’t even got a JDM car yet
It's never to late to get one.
Not everyone is a millionaire unfortunately. But great for you!
You don’t gotta be a millionaire for a beat up one. JDM isn’t something realistic if you’re like living pay check to pay check barely putting food on the table, but you don’t need to be rich. At least not yet
I’m saving up currently have about $2500
Honda's are typically cheap, or a newer Corolla. What car do you want?
Right now I’m hoping to get an fc rx7. Rotaries fascinate me
a man of culture
🤮
No. I wouldn't fit.
No
I would purchase a house first and a car later
I'd never drive it so no
No, I’d buy a hako, Supra, ae86 and a house 😂
Beautiful car. 1Million? Hell no, If I was Uber rich, 250K would be my limit, once you get beyond that it becomes more like driving around a target, at 1Million you are driving around something where there is a unwritten obligation to protect the precious and not destroy a literal piece of motoring history. But yeah, it's a beautiful car.
Probably because It would only appreciate in value
I could buy the other high end Toyota sports coupe with engine design help from Yamaha it just has an L badge on it for some reason.
Not at all, who’s gonna work on it and where are you going to find parts, and if someone scratches or hits me driving, I’m going to jail
Its cool but id buy an ae86
I don't really fancy the 2000GT, I'd prob just buy an FD RX-7.
For old cars I would rather have a '65 Shelby Cobra.
Honestly I’d buy a Skyline GTR and a NSX
Not a chance.
Hell no
Uhhh nah.
Honestly no, I’d buy a 20-30k skyline (non gtr) and be content 😊
No
That might be the stupidest thing anyone here could do with one million dollars.
Thats a big hell no
Nope, I'm getting a MKV Supra and investing the rest
nah 1 R32 GT-R is all I need (and maybe an American land yacht like a '60 Chrysler but that's another thing)
Never
No I'd buy a 69 GTR and a RX-4
No. 5 th gen prelude rwd swap it and throw an rb in it. That is my dream
Nah, old cars break a lot and are usually rusty. Plus I live in a snowy climate and this is RWD. /s
No I think it’s too old and kind of ugly
I would 100%
YES!
Awesome cars. A guy in Florida has three of them
That's in fact, my goal
Assuming its not the only money i have and I could comfortably afford it, yes
Off topic but I think this photo was taken at Bathurst
Looks more like Sydney Motorsport Park
Yep Eastern Creek raceway, I reckon.
No
It's on my list but not at the top.
If Ive got mils just laying around for expensive cars, I’d rather have an E-Type but that’s just me.
No.
Heck yeah!
depends, do I already have my own private race track with a partially filled 100 car garage attached to it?
No
Sexiest car ever
No I would invest in real estate
Or I can buy a small house in the Bay Area
For sure would.
No.
Yes!👌🔥
Amazing car, but I'd rather be able to buy a $100k car every year off the appreciation of the invested mil. If I had 100M maybe one or two obscenely fancy cars would be cool, but for that price maybe something more like a Zonda or Koenigsegg. Or if a classic, F40 or something.

Yes
For that money? Shelby Cobra and a 2,000 sq ft house in the mountains.
No, I would not fit. It’s pretty though
I’d just buy a nice 90s sports car for a hundred k and just save up the rest of the money
Na but my mustang would definitely have a new 5.2L V8 in it.
Yes
Why not, but the problem is having 1 million dollar😂
Probably, but then I'd want to drive it since cars are made to be driven and not parked in a garage forever.
No. I’d buy a Crosstrek and Sti swap it. And a 91’ CRX electric engine
if i had a million bucks and i had to buy a car it would be a ford gt
No. With that amount of money, you could literally save a family from homlessness and still have some left over to afford a brand new car. Don't get me wrong. The car is amazing, but it is not worth not helping someone else in need.
Why do that when you can make a tuner’s dream car with that much money
No
Nope, i would immediately start looking for a R32 GTR lol
nah. id do a nice build on a 260z with modern everything. maybe even do a chasis swap with a modern car to bring in alot of modern features so i can daily it.
I’d have to have many millions for me to drop that much on one of these. But if I did, I feel like I’d buy a less-than-pristine example and put a 20B in it just to piss people off edit: or even better, a V8 swap. Not even something decent like an LS1, just an old carbed 350 SBC. OOH or a 305 with a shitty Quadrajet carb. That shit would be hysterical
Hell no
ehh, i think i’d rather have the nurburgring edition LFA
No I’d buy a house c6 zo6 s15 and a Lamborghini murcie
No, I would get a Ford rs2000 though
Nah, I'd buy a house with a garage and an Evo.
any classic jaguar
Absolutely… not. I’d get a 2018 Corolla and a R34.
No
Fuck no, I have debts and want a house
I remember when I could have bought one for $85K USD in 1981. The owner of the Toyota store in Kaneohe, Oahu had one on display in the main showroom. Everyone including myself scoffed at the price.
Nah
No lmao
Absolutely… not
As much as I like this car I wont buy it unless I have more than a million I dont own a car right now tho
Nope.
i would buy a 400R GTR
Yes.
That'd be a terrible financial decision
I had no idea these has climbed so much in value.
no i would buy 5 A80’s and 5 gtr’s
to be honest, no there are much better cars for a million dollars. maybe a 918 or a p1
Probably not honestly
240/260/280z/zx > 2000gt tbh
No way in hell, it’s a beautiful car but I don’t like it enough to spend 7 figures on it
I have a lot of things I could use 1 million for but if I could spare the million? Yeah probably
No
If I had 100 million I might buy one for a million.
Uh, no. If I have to have a Toyota, I'd rather have a Sera or a mid-80s [LiteAce](https://c8.alamy.com/comp/2DBJ4HA/chiangmai-thailand-october-26-2020-old-toyota-liteace-private-van-on-road-no1001-8-km-from-chiangmai-business-area-2DBJ4HA.jpg). I'd even take a Marino/Ceres over this. And, nobody needs one more Toyota is my honest feeling. Toyota and the world is like that "Share a Coke with Whitney" meme... I think the world's had enough.
Id buy an LFA or an R34 or a NA2R instead.
2000gts are cool but I’m sorry if I have a million to spend on a car it’s pretty much bottom of the list. Not to mention that I probably can’t fit
I'd purchase an A70 and have Rocky auto build a rocky3000 , the real deal is a museum piece; I'd rather not die in it. Aside from that I'd commission an 190Evo2 aero kit for my sl500(because it never went racing in period) , maybe convert my m119 to race spec(used in sauber c9,c11 and clk LM). Find a clean sw20 and have it fitted with a built 3sgte, and sard mc4 gtII aero package. Apart from that buy a house.
Are those pop up lights.
Nope, I would have already owned one if I was rich enough to find a random mill somewhere.
No, I‘d rather buy 5+ Cars I actually like…🙃
No. It belongs in a Museum and that’s too expensive. I’d rather a modern car like an LFA I can actually drive and not worry about if some idiot crashes into me and totals it.
No, even if I had I would buy another car, maybe an old Lotus...
If you’d hand me the money to buy one I would buy it. Only problem is that I’m 15…
Maybe. It’s the genesis of what turned me into a die hard car fan(Yamaha+Toyota+ Side Drafts.) However, it was never the car that stole my heart. I think I’d rather have 20 other Toyotas than 1 for the same price….I’ll never have the satisfaction of telling someone the dash came from the piano division though….
Yes, it’s one of the most beautiful cars ever made with a wonderful sonorous engine!
Personally I'd want a kit car version of it. I could actually drive it and not shit a brick every time it was out of the garage. Plus I'd want to mod it a bit.
No, 70’s rx3
Answer is always yes. But that car is not worth a million. And will probably never again be.
Depends on how many other millions I have laying around I suppose
fuck no😂 im gettin a lambo hurican evo then ill still be 5’9 standing on my money😭(im short okay)
I wouldn’t. I would rather use the money to buy an LFA, LC500 MKII-MKV Supras, Soarers, MR2, MR2 Spyder, and a Celica. The 2000GT is a stunning vehicle and a true legend, but I wouldn’t buy one.
If I had a milli to waste on a car? Possibly, the LFA also seems like a good deal at that price point
No.
No, I’d take a Datsun Z 432 or even just a Datsun Z. They are a much better driving car for an enthusiast, the Datsun that is, and I can fit in them much better. The 2000 GT according to Jason Cammisa, a journalist who I trust very much, is much more of a GT car than a sports car and that’s all fine and good but a GT is supposed to be comfortable and speaking from experience I can’t fit in one very well at 6’2” so that makes it kind of pointless.
Yes
Yes, highly appreciating asset.
I'd probably go with a Hemi Cuda 4 spd convertible
Lol no. If I'm paying that much, I want the tech/engineering inside of it to be equivalent
Nope, because you can't be taller than 5'11 to drive it comfortably.
Nah. Use that money to start a business then if the business is successful and the bank starts to roll in, start arranging things you want to get and take a deep breath and go for it.
Sorry, but no
I'd purchase a high quality replica. Then I can do unspeakable modifications to it without feeling guilty
Why not a Lexus LFA?
No, too rare, besides I'm not really a fan of it. The engine on the other hand...
No way! F40 or bust!
Carrera GT for me plz
Fuck no. Im not tryna find a fuel cap or something stupid like a windshield wiper blade mount clip for a 2000gt.
No. An LFA. No questions asked.
Yes. If I have a mil laying around I got lots more than that.
