and here is a video of it starting up...(after not driving it for two weeks)

I have for sale a clean titled Lexus SC 400 automatic transmission
just hit 78k original miles
has old school sc tails.
1JZ-GTE twin turbo motor was swapped into the car about 5k miles ago. clean swap. looks stock.
has new timing belt, hoses, huge front mount intercooler, HKS blow off valve...etc...made sure motor was freshened up before it went in. the automatic transmission stayed.(from SC300) if you want an r154, i can maybe find one for you for a few hundred bucks.
TRANSMISSION SUCKS. WONT GO INTO REVERSE. i should have driven that sc300 before i...oh well...
We kept the power steering and A/C, although the a/c needs a recharge
cruise control equipment is there, as well as abs is in there too, but they both need to be hooked up.
car was recently repainted , costs around $3k
car has body kit
starter kill
factory alarm
no stereo
whole car from the trunk to under the front seats floormats, has been dynamatted for a system
electric fan setup
apexi 3 inch exhaust from downpipe to muffler, no cats, resonators (you smog)
supra fuel pump
TACH not hooked up! (although ive seen the DIY's and it doesnt seem hard to get it working ..)
tan leather interior great condition with black dash and steering wheel (2 tone)
forgot to list everything...
if the car was stock, it would be worth around 10 grand private party. bluebook it. around 10 more thousand was dumped into this car, so to me the car is worth around 20k, but obviously i won't get that much for it...
recently someone hit and run the rear left quarter panel... no structural damage or anything, just body...
make me an offer that i can't refuse. trades welcome,
call or text anytime @ 408-569-1269 (i do not answer blocked caller ID's)

no the accident was after paint and everything, the lights were put in when the car was sanded down & primered. i have recipts and stuff too
i guess disregard the bluebook and just make offer? i dont know how to price this car, i sort of explained what i spent on the car.

aw ![Frown](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)
should i put the 97 tails back on? the tails were swapped, it wasnt because of accident or anything. the car was repainted before the hit n run.
the kit is a vertex knock off...
looks like i might be taking a big loss on this...

It would be best to sell the car with the 1/4 damage being the only issue, than a list of problems half a page long. Look at it this way, for every dollar it will cost someone else to fix one of the problems, it will probably lose you double that amount on sales price...
Again I wish you the best with this as it seems you are in an unfortunate predicament right now

ahh...will try to do as much as I can i guess while the car is for sale... the funds are pretty low right now..close to zero..
..also smog is coming up.. if can't be sold for a good amount I might as well just store it and keep it yeah? swap took like 2yrs to complete... spent a good amount of time/money on the car..

Also, I'd keep it before I parted it...

If your in CA im pretty sure you must smog the car before you can sell it also. So with the illegal motor is the car its not gonna smog. Which will also cause you to loose money unless someone has a smog hookup. As DX3 said fix as much as you can, no one is gonna pay even 5-6k for a 1j swapped 400. You can get a non runnin sc for under 1k these days and the swap is about 1200, then little things here and there make for about 3500-4k. Granted your paint is nice from the pics, the mismatched body and body parts seem kind of shady. Make sure that carfax is clean, i would even buy the carfax and maybe post a copy on here to show it truly is a 97 with about 80k on the chassis. GLWS, is i had a couple grand to spend i would personally offer you maybe and this is a big maybe 3k...and thats a big maybe.

you broke my heart...
like the posting says, buyer smogs (as is)
correct, with the illegal motor the car wont smog, thanks for pointing that out...
broke my heart again...
my paint was 3k alone. i would probably not sell the the 1jz unless someone took the whole wiring and everything with it because the wiring took us like 2 months to complete just on its own, i would need a original obd2 iuz and i certainly dont have the time to swap one in...
i bought this car for 10 thousand dollars in 2006 thats $10,000. ive put less than 10k miles on it since i got it that long ago.
im looking at 95-96-97 SC400's with 150k miles on them going for 8-9-10 thousand
i ran a carfax on the car like a year ago foir fun, the car is what it is. the VIn, pink slip, everything else match, i can't afford 35$ for a carfax but im sure the buyer can.
i dont think when a person comes to look at the car, his main concern will be that the car is "actually a 97" or what not, how the hell can i fake the year of the car through the dmv or what not.
if i smog i have to add 400$ on the price, i dont have any more smog hookups and thats my price also.
other than the can opener on the side, the car is SUPEr clean...
