Default 1997 SC300 new to me PICS

Hey guys, I appreciate all of you and your hard work and effort to make this forum fun to be in. I have gotten lost several times trying to find what i'm looking for only to be distracted by numerous parts and builds happening! It's awesome. Well here are some pics of my newly acquired SC300. black and tan with 180,000 miles. I have all the books, original books, window sticker, and floor mats and first aid kit. It had spider wheels on it when I bought it. I put the stock wheels back on for right now. It is 100% stock and has been serviced at the Lexus dealer it's entire life. It was a one owner car who I came to know because he was a customer of mine at the Lexus dealer. I am glad to own this car and look forward to modifying it in the near future. No, it's not a manual :-( but it is still a cool car and lots of fun to drive!1997 SC300 new to me PICS-img_7100.jpg

5spd swap....

Where in IL are you at?

EDIT: LS400 front BBK might be the best mod. I got a complete set purchased brand new less than 5k miles ago if you are interested.

I might be interested in your BBK. I'm currently living near Joliet but I'm moving to Highland Park in a couple weeks. And thanks guys, it is a very clean car for the age and miles. Going to get the drivers seat fixed and already ordered a new parking brake boot to make the interior perfect. BBK I want to do along with some new wheels and coil overs. Then down the road 5spd swap and NA-T. It'll be a while but it'll happen! I'll make sure to start a build thread.
