I had this for sale a few years ago, then decided not to sell it. I've put on maybe 500 miles since then. I need room in my garage. I think it speaks mostly for itself, but here is some info about it:

There is a whole blog about the buildup of the car which can be found here: http://newman.onyxsyndicate.com/e30gtr/e30gtr_00.htm
The car was featured on Jalopnik.com as well as in print from S3 magazine (I have some copies if you want them)
No expense was spared. I have about $45,000 invested in the car, really... plus 4 years of my time.
The car saw 500hp/400ft-lb on a MUSTANG dyno. You can probably turn up the boost and make more power. It was plenty for me.

Almost every step of the build process was documented in the blog. If you have a question, it's probably answered in there. If you have a specific question, drop me a message.

The car always draws TONS of spectators, controversy, praise, whatever.

The good:
All that stuff ^up there^
One of a kind... show me another. :)
The car is basically brand new. EVERYTHING has been replaced or refurbished. Motor, chassis, suspension, interior.
It's fast (boost is set around 400 whp)
It's awesome

The bad:
The paint job may not be everyone's taste. It's a strange color. In sunlight it looks gold. In the evening or in artificial light it looks green. I'm not going to try to explain why this happens. There are a few small imperfections in the paint. The front fenders don't match perfectly, either.
There's a puff of blue smoke from the turbo on startup.
(maybe good?) It's practically a race car. Solid engine mounts, cage, race buckets. You know the drill.
Manual crank windows don't always stay up.

Look at the blog or email me for more info. ctnewman @ gmail.com

Only trades I'm interested in is an OEM knucklehead motor with title.

Again, there are TONS of pictures on the blog, but here are a few.

I'm asking $20,500 (NO LOWER!) which is super reasonable.

Part it out and make money, I don't even care anymore.
Hell, the seats (3500) Wheels (3500) Dash (1000) ECU (1000) Turbo (1500) cost half what I'm selling the whole car for.... not to mention the built RB26. There are 1500 dollars alone worth of lines and fittings on this car.

You'd be surprised. This is a one off fine example of an e30, and as soon as someone with big money to throw on a toy comes along, this will be sold. Solid deal

Such an Awesome Build!!! N just so you can fix it you are missing the L at the end of your build thread link for the html. That way people can see the details and time put into this mean machine and not get an error page. Hope that helps with your sale. GLWS Homie...
