F/S 1988 Silvia Convertible. RARE, SR 5 sp, GT28, PFC, 2 way, coils....

This is a copy and paste from other threads I had made. Some things in the pix below have been changed, so keep note of that and try to look at the list for reference as I updated that. I got a ton of time and money in this car so please, if any, all negative comments are not welcome in this thread. The car is Located in Coquitlam, BC at the moment. I am planning on taking this car back to my house in Alberta to store it in the garage for (who knows how long) years maybe at the end of this season. Figured I would toss it up to see if there was any interest in it here before she leaves. It is Alberta insured and registered and would need a cat install and a tune to pass Vancouver air care.


1988 Nissan Silvia Convertible
One of ONLY 604 built by Autech Japan.

Now remember that this is the ultra rare. Not a regular Silvia/180SX and nothing comparable to the 240SX vert. It is a totally different design. Look in the auctions and you will see what these cars are worth. I’ve owned this car since 2003. I’ve done all the work to it. Ive had a lot of fun with it but I just never use it anymore. Summer of 2009, someone slashed my new soft top I got the year before that. I sewed it up and it functions fine. This car normally comes with a CA18DET Auto trans. That was converted by my friend in Japan. For any info or history on the car just call me and I can tell you.

ASKING $15000. I some how have approx $29000 invested at least. Was appraised at $23500 abour 5 years back for insurance purposes (lots of other aftermarket parts have recently been added).

I will trade for something I could sell easily for the cars value. So let me know what you got. Trades plus cash on your end are also a possibility. I really need to pay off a few things :frowning: Move to Vancouver and builds spread out all over the place tend to require cash. haha. This is also getting close to being 25 years old for US export. Or pm me if your south of the boarder and interested.

These are the only pic’s I have. I’ve been through a few crashed hard drives in the time I’ve owned it.

That is ALOT of money. Wicked car though.

Wow.^^

SUCH A FUCKING HYPOCRITE

Amazing car. I remember reading the build thread years ago on NECC, if I’m not mistaken, and no cents were spared here! I believe the owner is also the owner of NECC or Import Concern, or something to that extent…

GLWS!

what do you think the retail is on having the engine bay stripped and refinished? $5000?..

beauty vert though…

… Im in love …

Import concern? They have an awesome rep. Remember gazing at cars they had back in the day. GLWS!

Thanks for the comments guys :slight_smile:

I didnt own import concern. I was a specialty importer. Used to run World Car Link Canada. Almost every car I brought over was a custom build with different engines ect. used to fly back and forth, packed and unloaded all my containers. Those were the good ol days. Still doing some cars and parts here and there, mostly rb’s.

Its kinda retarded I dont have any nice pictures of this car. If I find some time this summer, I should take it out for a wash and wax and find someone with some camera skills.

I have been vicariously trying to sell this thing for a few years. But with the price of cars these days and the amount of firesales out there, it is harder for people to pay extra to be different. Some eastern guys told me to post here so thats it.

And yes, the engine bay painting was a lot of work. All the holes in the fenders are welded, a/c hols welded, thats 3 coats of primer, base coat and clear. No single stage with a quick scuff. Its done right. Plus undercoating.

Wow that’s it just wow

nice car

bitch u cant afford it dont drewl
its worth every penny even more
