EDIT: Car is no longer for sale at this time
I hate to do this, but I'm starting to feel that it's time to sell my baby and start a new project. I've put what seems like countless time and money into this car. It has over $30k in parts alone. Hell I still owe money on my CC from parts I bought to finish the swap. Everything except paint and body was done 100% by me. I spent many hours just fabricating the engine mounts, making sure they were perfect. Engine runs very smooth and very strong. The paint job is a few years old, but still looks good. I'd say maybe a 7 out of 10. The front fenders were scratched while I was doing the swap and I had them repainted so they don't quite match. I'm working on getting the front end resprayed. Interior is mostly stock, very clean. Defi gauges are mounted in cluster for easy viewing. I've had it at the drag strip 3 times. Once with slicks and it ran an 11.20 at 129mph with a best 60' of 1.58. It put down 450hp at 19psi on a dynodynamics dyno and it has enough turbo and fuel system for much more power. I've never pushed it past 19psi.
I know it's still a 240sx, but it's got tons of quality parts and I'm pretty sure you won't find another one like this. I really don't want to part it out! Asking $24,000 as is, $22,000 without wheels. I might be willing to remove some parts to lower the price. Willing to accept partial trades but I need mostly cash.
