It has already been picked up ... currently in my place. But helping a buddy own the stock original 1997 SC300 5 speed with black interior. In return he was giving me all after market parts like CCW wheels and some other parts. He is still getting a damn good deal cause a 1 of 120 in great running condition and black interior will easily fetch around $6.5k now a days compared to the $3.8k he is paying for it and no initial cash outlay since he will just return my money over a period of time we have agreed upon.

Pretty sure he will soon be a member here and start posting his new toy which he would like to preserve as stock. Well I believe it is a good idea since he can enjoy it now and he would more likely get more when he gets tired of it and time to let go of it.

Man it's nice to see this thread still going strong! On the sc300 note... Anyone know any 97s for sale in Cali? Or any 5speed SC's for sale?

I see more going to the scrapyard because of total loss accidents than being for sale now.

Getting harder to find and pricier as time pass !

I would agree with seeing more going to the yard than coming up for sale. It should be interesting going forward to see if any super clean low mileage ones come out of the woodwork.

I wish I could find one just to keep super stock now that mine isn't.

I guess as long as the modifications are done right and make the value of that 1 of 120 even better ... it should be alright .

It is a different story if the modification is a hack job then keeping it stock would be bettter.

I'm now considering letting mine go. I'm in the Bay Area if someone's willing to look at it =)

Can anybody specify what the door number means?

One for sale in Vegas. Not sure if it's been listed. No vin number or any info posted yet.

Not sure .. but the door number seems to be a production sequence number not necessarily of 1997 5speed only cause I have seen the numbers sequence ..all over the place, much more than the 120 produced for the year Jan - Aug 1997.

If only people will keep their prices and not sell them lower , then SC prices can start commanding their prices. Will it ever happen... only time will tell. The price of that 1 of 120 at $9k am sure will be high for the majority of the SC crowd. I will be surprised if it will sell at that price.

Should be interesting to see what it fetches either way, hopefully we find out.
