Toyota 2000GT
The 2000GT remains the ultimate Toyota to have. Toysport has helped several 2000 GT owners- from getting trim bezels for the headlights (all hand made), steering wheels, exhaust systems, dash-pad covers, Mikuni carburator pieces, and even engine bearings. In fact we have maintained contact with Toyota’s original Tokyo area mechanic, who was directly in-charge for all 2000 GTs. For several years he was based at TRD USA when TRD opened shop in Gardena. Working on these cars is difficult because of parts availability; even just adjusting the triple Mikuni carburetors becomes difficult because you have to lean over, very very low, and not touch the delicate body. It is a good thing they are Toyotas trouble-free and require minimum maintenance. The 2000GT we maintain is in immaculate shape. It is better than the two units Toyota USA has in their Museum. The head is currently apart, waiting for camshaft bearings……unfortunately unavailable anywhere…….but maybe someone out there will read this and…….on the other hand a nice 1GGE will fit in easy- will have the same 2000cc. And a new 24 valve set-up…….no, this Toyota you do not modify! This one you admire.
If you are not familiar with
the Toyota 2000GT, you can see the only convertible version in action, appearing
in the 007 James Bond Film, "You Only Live Twice."
