For Sale: 2JZ-Swapped 1989+ Toyota Supra Turbo (Targa Top) - Running Project Car

Serious inquiries only, please.
Selling my 2JZ-swapped '89+ MK3 Supra Turbo (original 5-speed, targa top). I'm in the military and moving soon — can't take it with me, and I'd rather see it go to someone who will continue the build instead of letting it sit for years.
The original odometer is not available. I bought this as a stripped, engineless, shell. The swap has probably about <50 break in miles on it.
This is a running & driving project currently on a break-in tune (under 4K RPM, no boost). It’s not a finished car, but it’s a perfect foundation for someone who wants a running project. Built with a reliable 800whp in mind, this build as it sits, I am expecting ~500whp on pump gas when tuned. Injectors are probably the first limiting factor if more power is wanted.
This isn’t a car show queen — it’s a well-thought-out performance build ready for someone to take to the next level. You’re paying for a seriously solid drivetrain and platform, not paint and polish. With the amount of equipment included in this, it's a steal at this price.

This is a running project, not a turnkey car. Highlights of what still needs attention:

-
Spare tire well rust patched (beginner weld job, intended for fuel cell later)
-
HVAC not working (AC deleted, heat relay just needs wiring, and a coolant valve programmed into the ECU)
-
Progressive power steering not wired to ECU. Has a heavy wheel at low speeds.
-
Paint is typical for an '89 (old respray)
-
Missing front lower side skirt pieces

Windshield chip + wiper scratches

If you're looking for a sorted, ready-to-finish Supra project with high-end parts and tons of potential, this is it. You won’t find another like it at this price. Built with versatility in mind — keep building it for high boost, go LS, or even restore to stock.
I’m not in a rush to sell. If it doesnt sell, its just going to sit in a garage till I can come back to it -that makes me kinda sad.
Not interested in trades, but you can try, and please no "what’s your bottom dollar" messages. I will take a check, but I reserve the right to hold the property until the funds are verified by my bank. Please contact me about any payment questions you have so we can make this transaction as easy as possible for both of us!
I am also available for more pics, or I can face-time if you want to see more of it.
