History Table for the Soarer Model: JZZ31 3.0ltr -> month and year a car rolled out of the factory by their VIN (serial #)


Here is a table I lifted from Wikipedia that can be informative . Looks like this info is based on Calendar Year. The annotations in blue are references from which the editors lifted the numbers. Looks like they have lumped the 1991 production with the 1992 that is why the number of production is a lot bigger than sales and technically the Lexus SC model started in 1992. So is the 120 number only for the 1997 calendar year manufactured vehicles ? I still don't know ! Hope one day we will find a more credible source and will find out .

In the chart you grabbed from wiki the (120) means manuals in 97 model year. The number of autos that year is the larger number 2509. US numbers were based off model years and Japan numbers are based off actual years

Decided to randomly pull carfaxes on some of the SC's that aren't owned by CL members...most of them have been totaled out within the last ~5 years. Wonder how many are actually still on the road.

^^^ if you have a carfax or autocheck account and be able to check the list , maybe you can list those that have been totaled so we can put a note and thus have a rough estimate of how many are still with good title . We have almost 90 on the list .

I doubt that half of the 120 still have clean titles meaning not salvaged or totaled. It has been 21 years .

^ I agree with gerrb. We should try to make this list account for all the original 120 cars. Junked, rebuilt, original. That would make for a nice list that people years from now will want to see as the list of driving cars keeps getting smaller

Ask and you shall receive! Will need full VIN #'s to do known members' cars.

JT8CD32Z4V1001245 Post #732 of this thread 03/17/17 Parted out .. was wrecked and car is in FL Inaccurate VIN

JT8CD32Z4V1001246 Post 343 of this thread 09/12/12 Blk / Beige salvage title and auctioned Salvage title, located in Fort Lauderdale, FL as of 1/4/2017.


I posted the top one. Your are correct that is the wrong vin listed. Go look at my original post #732, I uploaded a picture of the vin. It is JT8CD32Z4V1001246.
This car is gone. It was severely damaged. Sad sight to see.

Can you please check on this again .... looks like something is not right... isn't this a total loss car ?

Though the carfax report seems to be older than post #355 which was 11/16/12 ... so our original note might be the one that is right and it was never reported to carfax as a total loss.

That is correct, it must not've ever been reported to CarFax.

Whenever I have some free time, I will update info on our list based on what is on Carfax so we know exactly what is going on with these original 5 speeds Model 1997 . For the current owners of these cars , you are free to submit your complete VIN and let us know its current location, mileage and title status of the car .

Thanks a lot ThomasGS4 for helping us update info on these cars . Hopefully .. will help make these cars valuable and desirable , being one of the few who owns a 1 of 120. I know a good number of the current list are not anymore owned by the person on the list but unfortunately the current owner either isn't a forum member or simply never claimed that he owns it now and the former owner never mentioned that he sold it .

SUMMARY :


75 1997 SC300 original 5 speed (1 of 120) on the list (2 inaccurate VINs not included)
32 owned by known clublexus members
43 owners unknown

out of the 75 , 13 have been issued SALVAGE / TOTAL LOSS Titles
out of the 75 , 4 that have been previously issued SALVAGE Titles have been repaired then got REBUILT TITLES


History Table for the Soarer Model: JZZ31 3.0ltr -> month and year a car rolled out of the factory by their VIN (serial #)


Here is a table I lifted from Wikipedia that can be informative . Looks like this info is based on Calendar Year. The annotations in blue are references from which the editors lifted the numbers. Looks like they have lumped the 1991 production with the 1992 that is why the number of production is a lot bigger than sales and technically the Lexus SC model started in 1992. So is the 120 number only for the 1997 calendar year manufactured vehicles ? I still don't know ! Hope one day we will find a more credible source and will find out .
