Hemmings Motor News Blog

Hemmings Motor News has been around since 1954. We're proud of our heritage, but we're also more than the Hemmings full of classifieds that your father subscribed to. Aside from new editorial content every month in Hemmings, we have three monthly magazines: Hemmings Muscle Machines, Hemmings Classic Car and Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car.

While our editors traverse the country to find the best content for those magazines, we find other oddities related to the old-car hobby that we really had no place for - until now. With this blog, we're giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what we see and what we do during the course of putting out some of the finest automotive magazines you'll ever read.

Stereotype Shatterer: Toyota’s First U.S.-Market 2000GT

Often described as the first supercar from Japan, the Toyota 2000GT represented conservative Toyota's first attempt at building a sports car, and the halo model went a long way towards changing the perception of Japanese automakers on the global stage. At last week's RM Auction in Monterey, the first left-hand-drive Toyota 2000GT built for the U.S. market, in largely unrestored condition, went home with a new owner for a fee-inclusive price of $825,000.

This vintage import gets renewed interest.

Kinda reminds me of an early XKE.
