I'd take one of these over my 911 no problem...in a blink of an eye. This is a stunning car to behold in person. I6 built tweaked by Yamaha and a lovely body style.

Love it.

I'll take mine in red though. Looks nice in silver, too.

Good result but it was inevitable because this model was used in a James Bond movie.

Sean Connery was too tall for the coupe so they had to cut the roof off.

It was from the Don Davis ( no relation ) auction in Fort Worth last month.
1967 Toyota 2000GT | The Don Davis Collection 2013 | RM AUCTIONS

And that coupe is sweet. I really like the windshield A pillar junction. I bet it's a kick to drive. Great panoramas for sure.

I would like to be any factory original paint color/interior config.

Not sure what they were new but I would guess expensive.

IMO... Toyota had other priorities like making money so no room for cars like the back then.

Japanese automotive design is usually funky and even difficult to look at. That was Japanese styling at its finest.
