5 Amazing Lexus & Toyotas You Can Buy During Monterey Car Week 2021!

By -

2012 Lexus LFA Nürburgring Edition

Finding a Lexus at the biggest auctions is a challenge. We’ve rounded up all of Nagoya’s finest heading to new homes from Monterey.

It’s not often you find a Lexus going up on the block of the biggest auction houses around. While plenty of Corvettes, muscle cars, winga-dingas, and other luxury brands find their way to the spotlight, good luck finding more than one or two of Nagoya’s finest. It’s why you don’t often see a top five or top 10 list of such machines up for grabs on our pages.

However, Monterey Car Week 2021 is upon us. Which means nearly all of the houses will be there. Thus, a chance for a Lexus to find a new home, and a chance for us to round-up all who have such a machine, or at least a big-name Toyota if no Lexus is in their catalog. The only house with neither on the block for Monterey (as of this writing) is Russo and Steele. Meanwhile, Barrett-Jackson is skipping this year’s happenings to focus on Houston in September, and Worldwide Auctions plans to return in 2022.

No. 5: 1986 FJ62 Land Cruiser – Gooding and Company

1986 Toyota FJ62 Land Cruiser

Restored between 2017 and 2019 by The FJ Company, this ’86 FJ62 Land Cruiser received a few upgrades along the way, including Old Man Emu suspension, 33-inch tires, and an updated stereo system. Draped in olive with brown vinyl, it’s better than showroom, and ready for the next adventure.
