Used Car Of The Day: 1984 Toyota Celica Supra Boss 302
No, we're not drunk -- not right now, anyway. There really does exist, out the in the world, a 1984 Toyota Celica Supra Boss 302. Meaning someone plunked a 302 cubic-inch mill into a 1984 Toyota Celica Supra.
The "Boss" moniker is a Mustang reference that might be a bit of a stretch, but there is a 5.0-liter engine from a 1988 Mustang under the hood.
The transmission is also Mustang-related -- it's a Borg Warner 330 five-speed manual, which is actually an upgrade over a stock Mustang five-speed from 1988.
The car has a custom dash and the seller says it runs well. The outside looks clean from photos, though the sunroof doesn't work -- and the seller was planning on welding it shut anyway.
Apparently there are only 700 miles on this build.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I was excited to click on this link, then very depressed with the result.
No Cleveland heads. No Boss.
