Someone Paid $1.2 Million For A Gorgeous Old Toyota

A 1967 Toyota 2000GT sold for $1.16 million at auction in April, defying the Japanese brand's image as a maker of affordable vehicles and becoming the $4.

The 2000GT has been called "Toyota's E-Type" — a reference to the gorgeous Jaguar sports car from the 1960s — and "the best car you've never heard of."

The record-breaking car is one of only 351 examples ever built, and has been fully restored to its original condition, $4, which sold the car on April 27 as part of the Don Davis collection.

The 1967 beauty has a 2,000 cc six-cylinder engine that produces 150 brake horsepower, good for a top speed over 135 mph. It has only only 62,000 miles on the odometer.

At the same auction, a 1967 Ferrari 300 GTS sold for $1.9 million, and a 1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL Gullwing went for $1.2 million.
