It's a 1JZ-GTE powered Chaser.

The Gen1 ES is the ES250. The Gen2 would technically be the 92-96 ES300. The Chaser is closely resembled by the Gen3 92-96 Camry...specifically the rear and the rear wrap around trunk reflector.

Is it RWD? The profile of the cabin (especially the rear doors and C-pillars) is very similar to the 92-96 Windom/ES.

Yes, all JZ series engine powered Toyotas are RWD. Rule of thumb, Toyota inline 6's are always RWD. 1JZ-GTE 2.5L I6. You are right, the door/window architecture is Windom/ES. BTW, this body design came out before the Gen2 Windom/ES.

Can that be modified to fit the 97-01 MCV20 es300? If so how much ground clearance will it have?

The Cresta's are a nice car to drive.. An Aussie friend of mine has one here in Japan.. But they are a little out dated now, as is my car... The next thing up from the Cresta is the Mark II...... Now that is nice... As for me, my wife has made is clear that I cant spent Y6,000,000 on a new Crown Athlete.. So I am thinking of the new Toyota Allion.. It is classed here by my friends as the mini Crown... At Y2,500,000 thats in my price range.. Smaller, sportier, and less to run!.. I have come to the conclusion that I dont need to drive a car like mine anymore, as it is simply not practical anymore... Its simply just a pig......
