Ls3 Powered 2001 Silver Is300 460 whp 6 speed all around street car

A little over 1 year ago I had a vision to build the ultimate daily driver street car. In May of 2010 I did just that when I installed a LS1 and T56 six speed swap in my Is300. One year later I decided I could use some more power so last month I installed a low mileage 6.2 liter Ls3 motor in the Is300. The engine fits in the bay better than most factory engines. It is extremely easy to work on and virtually maintenance free.

If your looking for a great all around driving machine this is the car for you. With the KW coilovers and a handful of other suspension goodies you can road race, drag race or tear up the street. Cruising on the highway I can get around 23 mpg in town between 13 and 17 mpg. I trust this car to drive anywhere in any weather. The A/C, heater, power steering and all other creature comforts are still in working order.

The body is in good shape with a clean and clear title in my hand. It does have a few dings and rock chips but its about what you would expect from a 10 year old car with just under 170k on the clock. The interior is in great condition actually in a lot better condition then most of the Is300's I've been in with half the miles.

I tuned the car with HP Tuners on a dynocom dyno then I went to the street and tuned it for a couple hours with mixed driving. The tune is spot on and the ecu is always learning and making changes for the best fuel economy. I will be including HP Tuners Pro with the sale.

I figure I have around $25k invested along with countless hours of fab work, engineering and just being the meticulous person I am, not one bolt or wire connection gets overlooked. I'll start my price at $25k if your serious talk to me and let me know what your thinking. I'm looking for a quick sale but I'm not giving this car away I've invested a great deal of my life into this build. During the build process I never had the thought of selling it. If your serious about buying the car send me an email or pm with either your number or I can send you mine. dedicatedmotorsports@gmail.com

I have a stack of receipts, pictures and build documentation I will include with the purchase.
