Build history

It's TIME…..

This car has been meticulously built and cared for, as you will see in the details. If you have been shopping for used E30s, you will see the difference in the quality of this build compared to some others out there.

It was raced for multiple seasons in So Cal, with a recent new engine installed for the last season it was campaigned. The car is in great condition; however, it is time for me to sell due to commitments to my family and multiple businesses at this time in my life.

I have personally turned 2:03s at Chuckwalla, so the car is fast, and with more talent in the left seat, I am sure it can go faster and be a contender with the front of the pack in the SoCal spec e30 class!

Delivery available within most of Southern California.

(If you would like to have the car wrapped in a new color before taking delivery lets chat; I am sure we can make that happen.)

This car has had every spec e30 upgrade allowed installed and maintained. Please check out the photos & contact me with any questions!
