A bold move.

Although the approach angle doesn't look too great

I’m not a purist or Supra fan by any means, but why would you do that to a car that there’s already so few examples of? The article states they started with a perfectly working car.

Conversely, they may be blind.

That's terrible. I assumed it was a basket case or wrecked.

Some people just want to see the world burn.

So...there’s a right way and a wrong way to approach that vision. He picked the wrong way.

Yep. It’s one thing to start with one that can’t reasonably be fixed up correctly . That’s fine. These guys hacked up a perfectly good example of a rare car. That’s a big no-no in my book.

So few examples of? There were 11,000+ sold in the US, and I’d imagine a decent number of those survive. That’s not a ton, but it’s certainly not “That belongs in a museum!” territory.

This was a Twin Turbo one, which only sold like 6.5k units over it s run. For reference, around that time the C4 Corvette sold ao ut that many in four months and we don't consider those particularly common.

I consider the C4 extremely common. Nothing remotely rare about it.

I’m not at all bothered by doing something like this to a mass-produced car with tons of examples remaining. It’s not playing darts with a Rembrandt. And I’m sure it wasn’t in concours condition to start with.

Assuming every TT Supra were still on the road, there were only about 130 in each state (yes I understand the distribution wouldn't be even like that) The actual current number is likely less than 100. I guess we have differing definitions of “common”
