1995 Maxima, auto, w/ 3.5 swap, Virginia Beach

I'm selling my '95 Maxima that has a completed and running VQ35 swap in it. I built the car for the Grassroots Motorsports $2015 Challenge this past October (check upcoming issues of the mag for coverage of the event and pics of this car! ).

There are lots of new parts on the car, including radiator, water pump, all timing components, rear main seal, valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, Federal 595SS tires (225/45-17), pads and rotors, etc. It has TEIN lowering springs, and some blown KYB struts. The chassis has 233k on it, the motor (from an '02) has about 112k. There is an RTG Engineering IAC Valve adapter, an eBay fuel pressure regulator, and a cheapo cold air intake.

I'm asking $2500 for the car, which is a steal considering all of the hard work is done. Please contact me if you have questions or want to take a look at it. Thanks!

Mostly aftermarket, as I was on a tight budget. Aftermarket timing chain kit, cam spacers/alignment dowels are Jim Wolf but modified by a local machine shop via Stephen Max specs, eBay fuel pressure regulator, etc. No oil consumption thus far that I can tell. I resealed the upper and lower oil pans, new rear main seal, new crank seal, new valve cover gaskets. All RTV is Permatex gray so it looks nice and OEM, not some stupid blue or red crap.

Hopefully I don't still have this in July, but feel free to check with me when you come!

Dropping my price to $1500, or a combo of cash + trade of something cool. Really need to move this thing, but don't want to give it away. The hard part (the swap) is done, now you can make it your own! This car is a blank canvas for you to "paint" to your liking! Rust free (although I did patch the bottom of the core support a bit, but otherwise it's a typical Southeast car-was bought in GA). Ready for whatever mods you want to throw at it, or a manual swap, or...whatever! Might be willing to drive it a little distance to meet you, although nothing past a couple hours. PM me if you have questions or want to discuss anything further.

Make me a cash offer on top of the trade. Car has been garage kept for 21 years. The only time it ever saw snow was when I drove it from NY to Florida when my family and I moved this past February.

If I were to strip this thing and part it out, would there be any interest from any of you?

Wow, it's so tempting! Did you say that it had some problems that needed to be fixed, or is it good to drive 1,210 miles? haha

It would be a bit of a rough ride, but it would make it.

I still have this beast, and really need to move it. Price is now at $1000. Here's the new Craigslist ad, lots more pics there.
