The acquisition of this pristine 1967 Toyota 2000GT elevates the DFW Car & Toy Museum to a premier destination for automotive historians. It underscores the global appreciation for Japanese classic cars, cementing the 2000GT's status as a transformative vehicle that forever altered the perception of Japanese engineering excellence.
The DFW Car & Toy Museum is proud to announce the arrival of an automotive icon: the 1967 Toyota 2000GT. Often cited as the most significant Japanese car ever produced, this award-winning coupe is a masterpiece of design and performance. Co-developed with Yamaha and styled by Albrecht Goertz, the 2000GT was instrumental in establishing Toyota as a serious global performance brand, effectively challenging European titans like Porsche and Jaguar.
With only 351 units ever built, this specific example is truly exceptional, having secured both Best in Show and Japanese Jewels honors at the 2022 London Concours. Its inclusion in the Ron Sturgeon Collection offers enthusiasts a rare opportunity to view a vehicle that possesses a rich racing pedigree, including successful SCCA campaigns directed by the legendary Carroll Shelby. This pristine white coupe stands as a testament to the pinnacle of 1960s engineering.
Visitors are invited to explore this historic treasure at the museum’s new 150,000-square-foot facility in North Fort Worth. Joining a vast collection of over 200 vintage vehicles and 3,000 collectibles, the 2000GT serves as the crown jewel of an immersive experience. The museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, providing free admission to all who wish to witness this piece of automotive history firsthand.
