Thumbs up FS: 97 SC300 Black/Black *2JZ-GTE / 5 speed swap*

hey guys! posting this car up for sale for my friend, he's in the airforce and has no time to answer questions / show the car. I'm on all forums and have great itrader rating ( rx7club/nsxprime/awdpirates/ etc) so don't let the new account fool you

Background of the car:
The previous owner of this vehicle blew the motor and claimed it with his insurance making it a "rebuilt title" he wanted the 2jz swap done with Underground Performance (Anchorage,Alaska) which they did but he never came up with the money so the shop kept the car and posted it for sale (loss on their part)

Buddy was stationed in Alaska and bought it , then got stationed out in New Mexico.

During that time he would come visit me in CO driving the SC. One day he said he pushed it, saw a puff of smoke and it stopped boosting. Since there's no real shop out there for him accessible, he shipped it here since we had reputable shops here that have done SC 2jz swaps.. Mofab LLC (Scotty)

They checked out the car & tested everything . Results were that the car has a blown rear turbo since it was never done as a true sequential & also has a small head gasket leak.

So that's where the car sits at today, it drove great when everything was working properly but since one turbo is out and leaking the car does hesitate but starts up great.

We were going to go forward and replace the turbo / head gasket but thought most people looking for a SC 2jz swap will most likely go with a single turbo , would rather save time & hassle.

Details of the vehicle:
1997 SC300 Black / Black.
170k on chassis , 10k on swap
Rebuilt title
automatic but swapped with 5speed (aristo)
All receipts & records of the swap.
Does not have AC but heater works great!
The power seats all work

Pictures









Video: startup & how it sounds outside .. sorry if both videos are shaky




Underground Performance Booklet (Receipt of all the work done







Pros
97 sc300 with black/black
swap all done, clean body
manual
aftermarket mods

Cons
Needs either stock turbo or new one
head gasket leak
bumper needs repainting

If you need something more specific or have other questions you can PM me or email me at yoojeankim@gmail.com but hopefully that was enough information. With that being said the price we're looking for is $12,900 obo there is some flex & we are open to trades (mainly s2000, integra type r, or pm me)

thanks for looking
dan
