Default WTB: SC 300 /400 under 10K

Looking for an Sc300 black interior with a 5spd, dont care if 5spd was swapped as long as its done right, would prefer black interior be factory unless the swap is perfect. I dont want a rattle trap like my last car cause of 1000 broken clips.

I have come across a bunch of 1jz swaps but seems to me they are all automatic and I'm just really not interested in automatic, and definitely cant even grow to tolerate the beige interior.

I'm looking for best value.
-open to 1jz or 2jzgte swaps
-open to cars that need paint
-would prefer car be southern with NO rust


If the car is a stock black interior 5spd, its worth a bit more to me, but i am not going to overpay. Mileage is not as important to me, but i dont really want anything thats older then 94, 95.

I am ultra picky because this is going to be my builder for the next 5 or more years. I really want to buy the right one. I love the look of these cars, ive done the research so now i need to find the right one.
Let me know whats out there. I have scoured craigslist for months, autotrader.com, cars.com, and havent found the exact one i want but i know its out there. Let me know.

I will be doing a 1jz or 2jzgte swap on it and this car will see 500hp minimum.

I would also consider a sc400, but it would have to be a swapped car already with a 1jz or 2jzgte, but i dont think i could touch a 2jzgte swapped car for under 10.

If you are building, why not buy an auto 1jz and swap in an R154? Might make your search a little easier...

I was preferring some of the work to be done so i can at least drive it for the summer before i tear into it this winter. Had a line on a super nice one, but the guy backed out cause he wanted to drive it for the summer so im on the hunt again. I would consider an automatic if it had a bunch of the other things done to it for the right price... even non swapped cars..

AKA_PACO has a RSP NA-T 5 speed with black interior
There is a silver w/ black int. 2jz-gte for around 15k

There is one more but can't remember who has it. Just read the pages and you will find them.

Ya have talked to aka-paco but his car is automatic but still considering his. I have seen the silver with black interior one, but 15K is gonna be just slightly out of my range, cause ill have to pay 1000 to get it up to canada where im from as well as pay sales tax which will be another 1000. Plus that car is ridiculously fast lol...maybe a bit too much for the pro-touring style im goin for with the 3spd auto tranny. Im trying to get away from the all out drag car even tho id love to blow my buddies 10 second nova out of the water.
