Bye bye donor cars...

The first link they would have had to convert the car from the 2.8L to the later 3rd Gen. Supra 3.0L, which is sometimes done but they haven't got much of a description. Alos I'm not sure how a car model that was bought out around 81-82 was first registered in 1979.

The second link I'm not a big fan of the body coloured bumpers but at least it's a 2.8. Pity it's an L-type.

I'd keep an eye out for the Soarer's of the same era, they had the same powerplant but tuned a good 10-20kW higher, which is weird considering, but oh well.

They're getting to be a rare engine to find bits for the 2.8's, my brother had to get a replacement engine for his because when he took it apart the head was warped and shaved to make it work, the block was iffy and generally it sucked and blew smoke to kingdom come. It's all good now though but finding engine's and engine related parts through national wreckers/parts people was a waste of time, just happened to stumble across one on a local auction website. Shame really, because he was going to Lexus V8 it if he couldn't find one.
