Toyota announced its first super car鈥攖he 2000 GT鈥攂ack in 1965. At the time, most Japanese cars were small and meek, so the GT was an outlying聽monster,聽with a top speed of 135 miles per hour.聽
The car was popularized in You Only Live Twice, a 1967 James Bond movie, but Toyota only聽produced聽351 of the聽vehicles聽before it聽stopped production three years later. Only 50 of these聽cars聽found their way onto North American asphalt.聽
Thankfully, 聽is聽one of the few that made it to the U.S. It's also an anomaly in that the聽steering wheel is聽on the left side, with the original tool roll and owner's聽manual still intact. While some GT 2000s聽have netted over $1,000,000聽at auction, this one sold for (just!)聽$683,000. That, however, is still 100聽times the original sticker price of $6,800.
