Default Los Angeles - 1993 GS300 - $3500

Lowered the price due to a lack of interest. I'm asking $2500 OBO.

I've owned the car for 2 ½ years.
When I bought it, it was a VIP project in the works.

Taken 04/07/2013









As far as I can tell I'm the 3rd or 4th owner. I'm going to cut to the chase on this.
UPDATE:
- The car runs well. The wiring harness needs to be redone as the previous owner messed with it.
- The front left headlight is out, and ½ the brackets on the headlights are worn or broken, but the headlights will not fall out.
- The motor has about 80K miles on it now, and was swapped 01/2011 for a better condition 2JZ-GE.
- 190,000 miles on the chassis.
- No oil leaks.
- The front bumper and various body panels are in decent condition but need light work, paint is chipping, front left bumper mount is loose.
- The wheels SSR Visconti's 19" need to be refinished, and have curb rash on the passenger side.
- The suspension rides okay, but needs to be remanufactured, Tein coilovers if I remember correctly.
- The radiator overheated once on the old motor-due to a faulty thermostat and hasn't been replaced-but will stay cool as long as the coolant is topped off.
- The interior has tears in the front and passenger seats with missing back panels for those seats.
- The rear interior has dried leather, typical wear.
- The front tires have about 10K more miles on them but the rear needs to be replaced in 3K maybe, the wheels have some camber on them due to the tuck.
- With the current suspension set up, you'll have trouble over steep changes in ground level and speed bumps.
- The paint wasn't properly done by the previous owner, the clear coat is fading/faded.
- There is an extra yellow optima battery in the trunk that is rigged up, about a year old.
- Stereo currently not working, needs to be inspected. Probably a blown fuse.
- There is also a Pioneer head unit and small amp with subwoofer in the trunk that still hits well.

Like I said, the car needs work. Work that I can't afford for a lot of reasons. Perhaps someone looking for a restoration project could raise it up from its current state. If I had the the time and resources I would do it myself, but this is not possible.

The price is negotiable, but please, only serious inquiries. I'm being completely honest about the condition of the vehicle because I don't want someone thinking this is going to be an easy process. Please PM me to make offers or ask questions in the thread concerning the car.

Taken 01/2011



This is from when we swapped in the new 2JZ-GE



Thanks for checking it out! Remember, this is a project, hence the price.

Is anyone interested? I'm starting to consider parting it out. If anybody is interested in a part-out I might post it up that way.

I'll post up some close-up photos of the exterior damage tomorrow.
Edit: Sorry it's taking awhile, I go to work early and come home late, haven't had a good chance to take a photo in some decent light. Will do it and post ASAIC.

The car runs now. It would be ideal to do more electrical work, but the motor runs strong and will get you from point A to B, no problem.

Added higher quality, recent photos. Showing the wear and tear on the bumper and wheels.
I also added mufflers and removed front and passenger side tint as per a fix-it ticket.
