1988 Touring with 450hp LS3 engine, 6spd manual transmission, and 7k miles on swap
With a heavy heart it is time to sell my LS3 E30. This car is absolutely amazing. It's comfortable for long distances, an exceptional cruiser and grocery-getter, and....well the LS3 part doesn't hurt. It's a GT, it's a sportscar, it's just incredible. I've been driving it since 2011 and it has never ever let me down. I was taking enough road trips in it that I sold my newer daily driver and just used the BMW, it does just about everything. It gets 25MPG at 75MPH and will never make you want to drive anything else. It's really hard to have to sell it, but I'm moving to a place without room for it so she's gotta go.
I bought the car as a bone stock 320 Touring from Germany and had the drivetrain from my other car (a 1991 BMW 318iS with the LS3 in it) put in. It's a professionally done swap by a few experienced fabricators and since I bought the motor new, have put about 7000 miles on it. The photos show an MTech1 steering wheel but it has an new MTech2 in it now. Some also show the original wheels, not the black OZ Racing wheels that it has on it now. The car has a sun roof and sport seats that are comfy and just about perfect. Everything works and the speedo was new when the car was built and is accurate to the engine.
Here's a list of some of the upgrades:
-LS3 E-rod kit. This was new and came straight from GM with cats, headers, fly-by-wire pedal, engine, air intake, ECU, and the motor (bought brand new, retailed about $14k).
-Racing diff (3.07 w/ polished gears and solid machined non crush sleeve). Built by a funny car builder to withstand torque concerns (this alone was $1250 and I've got the receipt for it).
-Hurst Drivelines T56 Magnum transmission. 6spd manual, .5 6th gear cruises at about 1000rpm at 6-mph (bought brand new, have receipt).
-Ireland Engineering brake kit (have receipt).
-17" OZ Racing wheels
-Custom 3" exhaust with a crossover. The sounds it makes are intoxicating.
-Custom built radiator. Has never overheated, custom built to fit the car and heat requirements of the motor.
I'm not looking for any trades and the car is available as long as the ad is up. It's fast, it's stable, it's smooth, it sounds amazing. Some higher resolution photos are here: http://imgur.com/a/kydZx. You won't find a better car to spend your time in. I'm happy to answer questions over email or text at 206-552-9439.
