1997 Lexus SC300 Factory 5-speed Manual

1997 Lexus SC300 factory 5-speed manual for sale. Only 120 were ever made in 1997 with a manual transmission and approximately 90 remain. This vehicle is about to be 25 years old and is turning into a classic. The car has the original 5 speed transmission with a replacement 2jz-ge with slightly less mileage~ 195,000. The engine has the Supra TT head gasket and new head studs in the event that the next owner would like to turbo the car. Compression is healthy across all six cylinders ranging from 165-185 psi. The transmission shifts through all five gears without issue- there are no grinds. The clutch is brand new and works great. The body and chassis is basically rust free, with one exception at the driver side rear fender, there is a small amount of rust visible. The paint is in decent shape, but the clear coat is peeling in some places. There are a couple of very minor dings/dents in the body. The interior is in decent shape, some stains in the carpet and the leather seats are a bit worn but no cracks. The car idles, runs and drives great. The car has the following modifications:
-New Rev9 coilovers
-New Custom steel catback 3" mandrel
-New 3" Circuitwerks midpipe
-New CSF radiator
-New Mishimoto 16" electric fan with automatic controller

The car currently has a check engine light because of the midpipe- it is catless. A scan of the ECU is showing the O2 sensor code (P0340) and a knock sensor fault. The car runs great so it must be one of the new knock sensors is faulty. The stock Lexus catback comes with the car. I also have the stock midpipe but is rotted badly. Also, i'd like to note that the AC system will need a flush and charge before it will blow cold air.
A lot of time and money has gone into this car over the last half of a year to get it ready for sale. This is a very rare car, and will become more and more valuable as time passes. The car is currently unregistered so there is no plate on the car.
