Its not a toyota for interior sound levels I’ll tell ya that right now -Car needs a tune currently but that will be paid for by me before I’d sell the car anyway unless you want to do it yourself. We can negotiate a discount for me not having a tuner do it. I will include ANY parts I have with for the car that I can find. I want this SOLD before I move out of my house otherwise it goes with me. Move Date is May 26th. Car has won some awards at Ontario Z Fest (two best in class mod’d 280z) as well as 3rd at Scrape By the Lake but thats neither here nor there IMO as this is a machine more than a show car.
