Most Expensive Toyota Sold for $1.2 Million

The world’s most expensiveToyota is not a new model, or even a fresh limited edition piece with tons of advanced and innovative features. It is a 1967 2000 GT that was sold last month by RM Auctionsfor almost $1.2 million.

The price is a Toyota record, no doubt about it, but it is also the highest sum that was ever paid for any other car manufactured in Asia. Of course, the beautiful model was an expensive one even back in its launch days. A 2000 GT used to cost about $7,200, which translated in today’s dollar value meansapproximately $50,000.

Back in its time, the 200 GT was quite technologically advanced, boasting features like a 5-speed manual overdrive transmission mated with a dual overhead cam 2-liter in-line 6-cylinder engine that could put out 150 hp and could push the car to 135 mph.

Its production was limited to 351 units, which were built between 1967 and 1970. This makes this curvaceous yellow beauty a rare and very important piece of automotive history, coveted by many collectors.
