Toyota's original sports car, the 2000GT, was the automaker's first foray into the sports-car world.
The 2000GT was built in limited numbers, and only 62 of them came to the United States—one of which will be auctioned by RM Sotheby's in May.
In previous auctions, 2000GTs have sold for upward of $500,000, with one in 2013 going for $1.2 million, so what this one will fetch is somewhat unpredictable.

In the 1960s, Japan was known for making cheap and sensible economy cars, none of which could compete with the likes of Jaguar, Porsche, and Corvette. The mere idea of a Japanese car company introducing something that could take on those manufacturers seemed laughable, but Yamaha and Toyota made it happen. Legendary designer Raymond Loewy originally intended to partner up with Nissan for a low-slung coupe but turned to Toyota when Nissan opted out of the project. The partnership resulted in a truly classic sports car, even if most of the world didn't realize it.
