Damaged but fixable 5sp. 95 sc300 TN
EDIT: This has been an extremely popular question so I'll post it here...THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE. The radiator and support have been pushed upward and bent into the fan, preventing it from turning properly. So unless you want the engine to blow, it would be wise NOT to drive it further than a couple of miles at a time before fixing.
PRICE DROP 2700
Back in the game, sorry for the merry-go-round.
Ran my car off the road to avoid a deer a crunched underneath the front end
The Bad:
The front bumper assembly (not just the bumper), radiator, and radiator support all need to be replaced due the crash. (Fogs and hood were not affected at all and are just fine) The estimate I got at the body shop including parts, labor and paint racked up to roughly $3900. When some skill in fab-work, painting or welding could seriously cut that price.
The Not Bad:
Perfect time for a 97+ front end if desired. 176k miles on engine and tranny, well maintained and running smooth. Renaissance red on black interior with good overall shiny paint. Driver side power seat motor replaced 10k ago (good for the rest of the car's life) driver side window regulator replaced, all lights, sunroof, cruise control, horn, cluster lights, and 12 disc cd player/radio all work just fine. Brand new power steering pump, new master/slave cylinders. Alternator replaced about 110k miles.
Slightly Modded...
TRD short shift
Replaced clutch with Spec Racing stage 1 (and resurfaced flywheel) 5k
Tokico Blue springs 10k
OBX headers and midpipe (deleted pre-cat and stock muffs) 1k
Partial BFI
BONUS: buyer will also receive all 3 DIY sc300/400 maintenance manuals (100 bucks a pop) which can come in REAL handy!
Asking 3000 obo
Questions or interest PM me or call (615) 618-1508 ask for Sean.

I live in Nashville and am looking for this exact car...
except for the fact that it's in terrible shape...
If you're willing to be very flexible with the price I may be interested, especially since the car has such high miles to begin with

This is NOT a hard fix. My Step father (who is a world class welder) did this exact job. Just need to torch off the old radiator support, put in a custom support or get one from a parts car (which I did). The rest is cosmetic. I got my radiator and condenser from my $500 parts car as well. Good Luck with the sale...it would be mine if I had the money.
