Thinking of selling...

The guy is pretty particular with keeping stock bodies, and I am personally not a huge fan of body kits, though a slightly larger, stock looking front end may be in order. I also am a fan of the wingless MKIV's and that would be something I would look into, though I can't knock the wing as it came from the factory that way.

Looks good. Im not a fan of body kits either, just dont like a stock front end if your going to spend money on performance parts.......at least let them do their job at maximum efficiency.
Make sure you get all the info possible on current owners habbits. From the pic it looks like a shift lamp mounted on the dash. Dont need that unless your red-lining on a constant basis. 6.5K RPM dumps dont treat the clutch, tranny, rear end all that well either. Im only mentioning this cause its been mentioned previously about finding a knowledgable/reputable mechanic to work on the Supra. The inline 6 is a GREAT engine.....but its not going to withstand hard driving forever.
Glad Im not in your shoes..........I would be racking my brains out trying to make this choice. Then again, Im strictly Nissan, so I guess it wouldnt be that difficult for me. Good luck bro.

Yes thanks for highlighting the importance of probing for the history of the car. Surely, I can not avoid a Supra that has not taken any abuse. The gentleman that currently owns it rarely drives it however, as he has a modified 996 Turbo. At least I feel better that it was in the hands of an enthusiast and not some clueless kid.

A tough decision awaits me no doubt, I will update after I get a chance to spend some time with the car. I would like to think of it as a win-win for me though

Honestly, were it me and I was making a classic "investment" decision I'd try to find one unmolested and as close to original as possible. Thats where the real value will be in the future. This showed up at a get-together here in town recently..Nice!!....

If your significant other won't let you have the supra and 370z, I say divorce her. But if that's not a option go with the supra. It's a highly sought after car and i wish I could find one that was as clean as yours (hopefully). I mean the Z will be around for a little while. Maybe in the future you can get a Z and keep the supra
