Everything I ever wanted as a kid (you'll likely have to use translate)
I'll take Lot 8, Lot 12 (why yes that is the 222 mph Top Secret V12 Supra) and Lot 14

Endowed with a likable front design and detachable roof, the Toyota Sports 800 was a popular lightweight RWD sports car; it was affectionately nicknamed the "Yota-Hachi," a mildly humorous Japanese phrase meaning "Toyota Eight." Debuting in 1965, production of the Toyota Sports 800 continued through 1969.
The body is fairly compact, with an overall length of 3,580 mm, width of 1,465 mm, and height of 1,175 mm. Under the hood, there is a type 2U 790-cc air-cooled horizontally opposed two-cylinder OHV (overhead valve) engine. The engine was originally from the Toyota Publica, a small family car manufactured by Toyota from 1961 to 1978. While the Publica was mounted with a 700-cc type U engine, the type 2U produced a maximum power of 45 ps/5,400 rpm and a maximum torque of 6.8 kgm/3,800 rpm owing to the increased capacity and SU twin carburetors. It was a significant increase over the type U, but the power figure itself looked somewhat moderate when compared with the contemporary Honda S800, which boasted a power as high as 70 ps/8,000 rpm.
To overcome this handicap, Toyota purposely designed the Toyota Sports 800 to be light and have efficient aerodynamics. The vehicle, which has a monocoque chassis, weighs in at only 580 kg and its coefficient of drag is as low as 0.35, an excellent figure seldom seen among domestic cars at the time. Toyota engineers’ efforts were well rewarded because the top speed reached 155 km/h, closing in on that of the Honda S800.The Toyota Sports 800 shares major components with the Publica, such as the front suspension (a combination of double wishbones and transverse torsion bars), rear suspension (a rigid type using leaf springs), and drum brakes all around. The transmission, which is a floor-shifting four-speed manual exclusive to the Sports 800, is almost the only exception. Therefore, in terms of concept and mechanics, the Toyota Sports 800 sharply contrasts with the Honda S800, which is an exclusive design of its own.
In the middle of the 1960s, the debut of the Toyota Sports 800 coincided with the dawn of the racing era in this country, and many Toyota Sports 800s took part in the races. Of these races, the All Japan Automobile Club Championship held in 1965 at Funabashi Circuit (no longer in existence) was particularly famous. The Toyota Sports 800, with Tojiro Ukiya at the steering wheel, beat its arch rival, the Honda S800, driven by Tetsu Ikusawa, by a large margin.
Presented here is one of the final editions of the Toyota Sports 800, first registered in 1969. Three years have passed since it came into the hands of the current owner, who says no restoration was required when he bought it, and it has only required routine maintenance since then. The car is in its original condition except for the wheels, which were originally steel and have been replaced with the current aluminum set. One of the remarkable features of this car is that it is equipped with a factory-installed interior heater, promising comfortable winter driving just like cars with water-cooled engines.
Holy moly! Bonneville z32!!!! Top secret Supra with the twin turbo v12 (why is he getting rid of this finally?), and the SPOON cars are amazing!

You only like them because they predate LS swaps which would make all of them better
WANT

My guess is Smokey Nagata was arrested one too many times (from 2008). A couple of articles say that his goal was 249 mph (400 km/hr).
The sad thing about this is I looked at the rest of the listings 10 minutes ago and just realized there's also a 2000GT in there...
FWIW 1,000,000 Yen is roughly $9,000
In reply to tr8todd :
How legit is that site?
In reply to Trackmouse :
I'm assuming fairly. Several major news outlets linked to it.
The site also has a legitimate address listed on it.
It's not Japanese, but I have a weakness for Lot 6...
