Default 2001 White GS430

Since the sun was out I washed the GS - I had forgotten how sweet it looks all nice n clean. I have been so busy on the '88 Mustang and '56 Thunderbird projects that my GS has had to stay dirty for quite a while.

I found this one owner car up in Kansas City. The classical musician owner had 5 cars and so this one only got 6000 miles a year. I picked it up w/ 37k on the clock in 2007 or so. All stock except the 16" wheels are gone replaced by 18x/18x9 RPM 505's and Bfg KDW2's.

Glad you like the car. I'm in the Dallas area. I've always liked the tan GS interiors, they are pretty well done. They seem to hold up well too. The car has about 82k on it. I like the steering wheel and the layout of the dash and controls is great.

The 01+ Gs430 have the much better interiors.. IMO.. upgraded steerwheel speedo cluster trim, etc.. I've had Tan interiors for years.. Next car will be Black.. Although the Tan does hold up pretty well..

I like the way tan looks, but its not right for me.. Im pretty messy. Almost immaculate. A nav unit would do so much for the interior.

My car looked exactly like that when I got it. Same options and everything. Your GS is super clean!

Jealous of your interior! Super clean and the wood wheel, ashtray, and the gauge trim look good.

There's a 01 GS300 that's been sitting at a little dealer around here for almost 2 years, I'm tempted to stop and offer him some cash to swap a few parts like that gauge trim piece from my 99.

Your better off buying that GS4 in the classifieds for 6k and swapping in the black interior..

GS interior feels real nice after that fox body interior, doesn't it.
