I thought there weren't any manual 97s? And the engine isn't VVTI which 97s have. I think it's an earlier 5spd with a bodykit upgrade to the 97.
What do you guys think?

Damn, that's hard to say... if it's an updated pre-'97, then they updated the interior, too. Look at the headrests (different from my 93) and the rear deck doesn't have the third brake light. But like you said, it's not VVT-i, unless it is and it wasn't badged as such in that year... I dunno.

The VVti came in 98 along with a 5spauto in the 400, a new 4spd auto in the 300 and a new gated shifter
99 got a 3spoke steering wheel

Actually the rarest of the rare would be a 1997 SC300 5-spd, royal sapphire pearl, hardtop (no moonroof), with black velour interior. I'm pretty sure this car doesn't even exist! That being said, someone needs to buy this car now....

Sometimes I forget how much I like SCs then I click on pics like that and it all comes back!! LOL Somebody should buy that car, and then get some coils and the black Mahdi's for sale in the classifieds. Can you say sinister??

This is the holy grail of SC's!! 5spd, updated bodystyle and black at that!! What more could you ask for?!
I would love to see a CL member buy this car. Preferably in the Tri-State area. LOL!!
