I just picked up a new "dd" but it's turning to project again, but before i can start working on it i need to move my SC400 with alot of goodies.
it's a 93 sc400 with 76k miles on the chasis with 2jzge from 97 sc300 full complete swap i bought it from another member on here if you search you will see that i just got the engine swap couple months ago.
majority of the parts are brand new , i don't like using old stuff so here is the list.
97 kit, front bumper, sides, rear bumper, foglights etc..97 tails
tt wheels, tT front brakes front and rear all brand new from toyota pads and rotors.
TRD sway bars front and rear, trd sway bar bushings front and rear.
TT sway bars links front and rear.
(1) Walbro fuel pump
(2) brand new denso TT pumps
KYB shocks on the front not installed yet.
Black interior.
SC300 radiator brand new.
Supra TT mounts new
New timing belt, tensioner , water pump, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs .
new p/S pump.
New serpentine belt tensioner.

Driveshaft .
i will include the shifter extension for extra.
BL 3"DP and MP
i know there are alot of stuff i am forgeting.

What do you think it's worth? Please let's not start fighting on this thread because it will get lock and that's NOT fair to me.

Trade for my car What color is it?

Seriously, I would ask for $6000+ in our area. That's what I paid for mine a year and a half ago.

$1700 :P Man, you cant bail on us too! Nobody loves the SC any more or what?

Seriously though, 5-5.5k sounds about right to me as well, but it could bring as much as 6k from the right buyer.

PS, I think you mean: "What do you think it's worth? Please let's not start fighting on this thread because it will get locked and that's NOT fair to me."

All depends on the buyer, probally get more parting out the parts then selling the car.
You have two denso pumps you say?

Over 9,000. Price is too high to sell it outright and being a 400 converted to 300 hurts the marketability. Part it out.
