FS/FT: 1997 Mitsu 3000GT VR4 (Full '99 Conversion)

I am posting this car for a friend. He is trying to get as much market exposure as possible and asked for a favor to see if there is any interest on here.

I can vouch for this car and it is seller. Clean 3000GT/Stealth platforms are getting harder to find and this is definitely one of the nicest I have seen (I own a '92 Stealth T/T). I would probably buy this car if I didn't just take out a car loan for a new daily.

The language from here forward is his from him main FS post on a different forum.

GENERAL:
1997 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4
72,051 original mileage (as I type this)
Clean Title (No accidents, cover-ups, Bull sh*t, etc)
It's an adult owned car with serious care.
Meticulously maintained and drives great!
Very good/Excellent condition both inside and out (It's really clean!)

**This is NOT a project car**

It is not gutted, deleted or stripped, etc.
It is a full factory weighted VR4 with daily reliability, performance and luxury
I'm writing a full detail so the potential buyer/trader have no surprises.

Background: For those who needs to know everything. This has been my daily driver and has served me extremely well. I bought the car in 2013 with 60K original miles. I am the second owner. The first was an older male in his 40's. It was his trophy. The car was bone-dry stock the day I bought it and all maintenance, preventative maintenance, and upgrades began with me using only OEM parts or brand new, high-quality parts/brand.

The full 60K service was done within a week of owning the car which includes, timing belt, alternator belt, water pump, idler tensioner, pulley, spark plugs and wires, etc.

My VR4 has been setup to be a great starting platform for a fully built engine. Or can be left as-is for daily reliability with "powar"!

Reason: I'm going to be honest, I'm just not in love with the car like I was when I had my 99 SOHC. Simple as that. I could return everything back to stock to maximize cash return, but I'm just not motivated.

EXTERIOR:
Full 1999 Conversion
-99 Front bumper
-99 headlights
-99 turn signals
-99 bumper brackets
-99 sail panels
-99 bumper splitters
-99 rear center garnish
-99 combat wing (Cianci)
-99 rear 3rd brake light
-99 under body panels including front air dam
-New window strips (Cherry hill)

New window strips. Original windows stickers still in-tact (Audio sticker on passenger side and warranty? on driver's side)

There are two very minor digs on the PS side. You probably wouldn't notice unless I told you (which I am). Did not scratch on the paint. Both can be removed via painless dent removal.

INTERIOR:
-9/10
-Tan leather (not camel tan or cream tan)
-True black dashboard

MAINTENANCE:
-Complete 60K service with OEM parts
-OEM spark plugs
-OEM Spark wire
-OEM Fuel filter
-Denso O2 sensors
-Denso Supra fuel pump
-----
Only used Amsoil Signature 10W30 paired with Amsoil filter
-Redline MT-85 for transmission fluid
-Redline Shockproof Heavy gear oil for transfer case fluid
-Redline 75W90 for rear differential fluid
-AC was recently discharged and recharged. It’s cold!

ENGINE
-Stock block. Untouched and original. All mods are bolt-ons.
-K&N intake Filter (part #63-1000)
-EVO X metal Blow off valve (Stock was designed to leak)
-New 19T Billet HL turbos from Timp3KGT (@ wastegate for now)
-New OEM turbo gaskets, crushwasher, bolts, feed and return lines (Cherryhill Mitsu).
-3SX stainless steel pre-turbo intake pipes (stocks are rubber and does not fit the new turbos with their 2.5inch turbo inlet)
-Poly motor mounts all corners (via Paul Seattle) Stock mounts were on their way out
-Stainless steel fuel loop connecting front and rear fuel rails
-3SX Downpipe/Testpipe
-Rear pre-cat eliminator
-Gutted front pre-cat
-Black Silicon IC hoses (As seen here: 3000GT/Stealth International Message Center - View Single Post - New Product: Silicone GTO IC hose)
-DSM SMIC Converted by C3Motorsports for a 1st gen- Purchased from a Norcal member.
-New ISC/IAC

DRIVETRAIN:
-New PST 2pc-hybrid driveshaft (purchased via 3SX.com)
-New Solid aluminum differential bushings from Ray Pampena Motorsports
-New Southbend Stage 4 FE clutch and throw-out bearing (flywheel was resurfaced)

SUSPENSION:
-Megan coilovers (via terry@ maximalperformance.com) - Ride height dropped/alignment done and inspected at two different locations (Because I am **** like that)
-Maximal HD control arms for rear camber alignment. Set at -1 deg. to prevent fender rub.
-Stock 18inch rims
-Brand new Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3 (Americas tires on Aug 2nd, 2014).
-Rear Adco Swaybay (via 3SX)
-Front and Rear Strut bars (Cusco-like)

MISC:
-Manual Boost controller (Not yet installed- Ninja Performance)
-New Chrome ECU from 3SX (Not yet installed)
-Used RC-550 injectors (Not yet installed. From 3SI member, 8K miles before he switch to larger ones)
-Front speakers are 6.5inch Morell Maximos components
-Rear speakers are 9inch Morell Maximos
-Mitsubishi Diamante dash speakers (Same as stock, but much beefier)
-Stock Amp and headunit with a 10 disk cd changer in the trunk
-FM radio never worked (never bothered to fix it). AM works.
-AEM failsafe wideband/boost gauge/logger

PRICE:
$13,500 or a trade that could be worth my wild. We all know how 19T turbos perform. Tune this car and it will be a rocket.
Please consider the condition of my VR4. It is not your craigslist VR4. It's one of the cleanest I've actually seen and actually runs like a champ. All leather is in great condition, etc. I've poured quite a bit into this build with brand new parts and had everything done right the first time. I'd prefer to sell it exactly as it is.

TRADES:
-An e36 M3, perferably in the same condition as my VR4
-An 2008 Audi A3 Wagon
-An EVO 8
-Something you think would be worth my wild
