Picked up a 92' SC3.
Well, after looking and looking for a factory five speed shell with no luck whatsoever, I decided to purchase this 92' shell for only $500.00. Extremely clean body with a clean Carfax. I never noticed that only 92' SC's did not have a passenger side airbag. To be quite honest, I really like the clean look of the dash without the airbag. Anyhow, I have a spare 2JZ block at work with a 1JZ head and I'm thinking about just making a 1.5 out of it and mating it to an R154.
I figured it was a pretty good deal compared to what everybody else is asking for their shells 😉 https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...da0c6e76d.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...d415c2f4e.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...8606d0a1f.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...b2f917153c.jpg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...11d9b417d9.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...eecd42c16e.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.clu...f14ac05b01.jpg |
I’ve always preferred the single airbag. Out of 4 sc’s only one had dual.

Beautiful shell and that is a fantastic deal! I wish mine was that clean...
|
good deal i suppose. scooped mine in running condition for $500 though
|
great deal man thats super clean!
|
Good find. Keep us posted on the progress.... Congrats!!
|
Nice find!!!
|
That’s an awesome find!! Congrats!!
|
Thanks Guys. I'm going to paint it black right away and then start on piecing together more crap for the build. I was thinking about adding either a deep purple or deep blue pearl to a gallon of black paint. Still undecided. This car is perfect for what I'm doing as I already have a spare block and trans and I'm gutting out half of the interior.:D

Lookin clean, solid deal for $500!
|
Great find and at a really good price. :cool:
My SC300 is black and IMO that is the very best color for this body. I would be interested to see some pictures of it after it gets painted, especially if you mix in the pearl. Is the trans you already have a 5-speed or an automatic? |

Is the trans you already have a 5-speed or an automatic? It has the stock automatic transmission in it as of now. I want a manual transmission that can handle 1000 horsepower, so I think I might have to go with either a CD009 or a T56. |
From what i can see it looks like a decent shell that doesnt need much work. A blank canvas ready for the artist to begin his masterpiece.
Look forward to see what you do with her. |

Also if you pick the T56 as your transmission then you can keep the stock SC300 4.272:1 rear diff as it is the ideal ratio for that gearbox. All you will need to do is have it rebuilt with a clutch type LSD of your choice. |
