Due to the severe and expensive modifications have been made to the IS300, such as a engine transplant from the original car to a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! - some may say the price is justifiable.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

But I propose that the seller pay me $45k to drive this blasphemy on wheels with Ferrari stickers on the Toyota engine.

It’s cool either way. Would be super cool if it had crazy power.

I don’t know man.......I would hope most buys would want to keep this a Ferrari in all ways. Especially the engine.

I f the seller had just sold a car without an engine for $35k , it would be worth it to put in another Ferrari engine.

But this just adds unnecessary work.

Cut some holes in the hood, bolt on the biggest, cheapest Ebay turbos you can find, then profit (?)

A pretty decent 456GT - no “A” - just went for $51k on BaT.  This car is worth *nowhere near* that.

Hey, if you’re gonna go stupid, you might as well go all the way.

I would *sort of* understand if it had a 2JZ-GTE with the boost cranked up to 11 - but a non-turbo JZ?  WTH is the point?

The wheels are hideous, but that chrome look was pretty popular when this car was new.

Like, maybe, $20k? At most?

The thing to do would be to buy it, swap in a Ferrari V12 (duh) and gated manual.  Then you’d have a fun Ferrari that would never be collectible, so you could hoon it daily.

I don’t hate it...but those wheels and the automatic and the lack of popups.  It adds up to a big meh for me.

I agree on most, but I much prefer the mid engined/8 cylinder Ferraris. So chopping up a 12 doesn’t really bother me. 575 excluded.
