I have had a 92 Lexus SC400 convertible for nearly 25 years, garaged the past 13. I am ready to part with it since my top-down days are over. I have no idea how to value this car and could use any help and input. Mileage is 94,000 miles. pics are attached. Interior needs complete update. Top is electronic. everything works.

 

has anyone seen any other conversions recently? The last post I saw regarding any on the streets was in 2003....

 

I've never seen one in person, and hardly ever on the internet either. I have no clue how to help you value this car... Except, and I mean no disrespect by this, however, I don't believe the conversion has added any value. If anything, it has probably reduced the value of the car due to the kit being aftermarket and I'm sure replacement parts are hard if not impossible to come by. Regardless, it's certainly different and I think it's interesting and funky myself.

 

Sadly, that's probably true. Modded cars generally have less value unless you find that one buyer who wants that very mod and knows how much money they're saving by having it already done. Even then, they know that modded cars are worth less so they're in a position of strength negotiating.

Your best bet might be to get it into one of the big auctions. Let them build interest in the rarity and get multiple people bidding on it...you might just overcome the above issue.
