1993 Toyota MR2 For Sale
This 1993 Toyota MR2 is a Gen 4 3SGTE-swapped project car located in Houston, Texas. Originally a naturally aspirated (NA) model, the vehicle now features the more powerful turbocharged powertrain from a later-generation MR2. The car is presented in its original 1993 blue finish, though it requires cosmetic and mechanical attention. The current owner has driven the vehicle sparingly since the swap due to work commitments and is offering it as a negotiable project for an enthusiast capable of addressing its tuning and body needs.
