V8 Swapped 2nd Gen GS is Pure Style

Cars like these often get passed over by folks who are more concerned with having the best and newest, but one Lexus enthusiast knew what this GS could become.

Style is based on the observer, cool LS swap and all but I find nothing impressive about it that's just me.

Didnt the 2nd GS come with a v8?

Oh yeah they did. The 1UZ is a great motor. No need to mess it up with a LS.

Cool looking car. Don't quite agree with the motor swap numbers he quoted with saying a 2JZ swap being $15k as for the reason he chose the LS at $6500 but hey, it's different and it'll grab attention which is the whole purpose for building cars these days. Would like to see some vids of it though!

are you the new owner of this car? if not why do a story 7 years after the owner sold it? he hasnt even logged in, in over 5 years

Jay sold it years ago and noone knew what happened to it after that.
