More than likely your head gasket is bad. Could also be thermostat bad, water pump bad, clogged radiator. Every one with the supra always points to the head gasket. Check your thermostat, Mine was over heating and I replaced it with a low temp thermostat and that worked great. Are yoou losing coolant? check for leaks. Do you notice your water circulating after you turn your car on? If not could be water pump. There are so many other cheaper reasons then just your head gasket. If you are not sure take it to a mechanic, have them look at it. yes it could be your head gasket but why replace that if the solution is a whole lot cheaper.

What is the ideal oil pressure for a 1987 MKIII Toyota Supra?

Anything over 4.5psi at idle and 35psi at 3krpm is in specs... I run 5w30 and at hot idle, around 10psi and around 42psi at 3krpm.... The supra has a high volume/low pressure system... no need for high pressure as the oil system in these cars is VERY effective.

Where is the cheapest supra car sold at?

The Toyota Supra is no longer being made. The only Toyota Supras that can be purchased are used models. The cheapest Supra would probably be the oldest with the highest miles in the worst condition as that is how used car prices are determined. They are being sold all over the United States. The cheapest being sold would probably be sold where the cost of living is lowest.

Can the speedometer cable affect the shifting on a 1987 automatic Toyota Supra if the cable is broken and the car will not go over 30 mph staying only in first gear?

Yes it will affect it, I've experienced this twice. The first time it snapped and the other time the end had came out of the transmission. Toyota uses an electronically controlled transmission so if it is broken or not plugged into the transmission, it will not shift out of 1st gear. Seems whenever i bought my cable it costed $80???? at Toyota.
