My one of 1 of 120 The search is over !
Finally found her and had to have her ......1997 Platinum/Black Original 5 speed ...here she is ! Special credit due to 97-SC300 he had a lot to do with inspiring me to look/wait for that clean one as his is extremely clean and so are the mods and its evolution.

Hey bro, once again, congrats on this purchase! That is definitely a special car. Glad to see it went to a person who loves SCs and is a real enthusiast.

Awesome find but I'm kind of confused as well lol I thought the point of finding a 1 of 120 was to keep it stock? Otherwise it's just like the rest but with the 97 body which is no different than one less rare lol

Yea, the extra money paid for the car could have just went into getting the extra parts for the swap.

Either way with a swap or not.....it is still an original 97 5 spd.......i.e 1 of 120......
I dont see how swapping in a GTE would change it....IMO it makes it better with swap
Nice pickup and look forward to the build....

I am going to have to go with the swap always makes everything better. Having a swapped 97 original 5 speed car is pretty awesome, and it looks very clean. good luck on the build!!
