you don't know how proud i am to see my name on that list. like being a dad. well almost. its like being the dad of a prodigy i took my car with its fresh SUPRA TT wheels to discount tire and got some new rubber i am loving the look my 1/120 is growing into. Shes getting a nice little booty back there 275's
So am back to square one . Back on track with my plans on Black Pearl... building it slowly too. I cannot stomach tearing it a part just to get the other 3 1992s going .

One more of "The 120" is gone
Sorry to report, one more of the 120 has bitten the dust. My `97 SC300 manual, VIN JT8CD32ZXV0040025, was totaled a few weeks back. As you can see from the pics, she was a goner. After 14 years and 200K miles with it, I will miss this car a lot. I will be selling the engine and transmission, both in great shape. The transmission is original, 276K miles; the engine is a recent JDM replacement that had about 60+K miles on it. I can't post a for sale ad here yet but if I can get my post count up enough, I will.

97 SC300 stick heading for 300,000 miles
My "120" just tripped over 275k. Still runs great! Motor was rebuilt at 172K (overheated due to a fan clutch failure).
I love the car, but thinking about putting it up for sale. I got a BRZ and my wife is probably getting a company car in the near future, so we'll have one car too many and as much as I love the SC, the BRZ is more fun to drive.
Wish I had room to keep it. I think this car is right up there with a 57 Chevy as a classic.

Resigning from the Club
Well, I listed the car on Craig's List and got four inquiries in the first half hour. Sold the car the next morning. I will miss the car... I drove it for 16 years.
I'll get the new owner in touch with this forum.

Anybody SERIOUSLY interested with funds ready on an original 1997 SC300 5 speed 1 of 120 with 160k miles in good running condition and black interior , PM me. Willing to let a member who will take care of it have it . I have run the VIN and it is indeed an original 97 5speed with clean / no accident title & history.
I have mentioned it to some buddies on this forum but not sure if anyone of them can come up with the funds immediately . I have decided to give a $1000 deposit to the owner today just not to loose it. I don't think the owner knows what he has or its real value . IF no other member wants it , it will head to my place by Wednesday when I have the time to pick it up.
It is all worth it for $3800 with CCW wheels and other aftermarket stuff and black interior. It is platinum silver with good paint and no work needed . It is located South of GA so be ready to pickup in the next 3 days and return my deposit or I will pick it up myself .
