The Toyota 2000GT, jointly developed with Yamaha and first revealed at the 1965 Tokyo Motor Show, stands as one of the most significant Japanese sports cars ever produced, with only 351 built between 1967 and 1970. This right-hand-drive example, the 98th of 233 Japanese-market cars, was completed in November 1967 and finished in Pegasus White over black leather. It spent most of its life in Japan before being imported to the United States in 2013, and remains in largely original, well-preserved condition.
