I remember when this car came up for sale in Florida. It actually was not too far from my parents place, and I remember thinking it would be fun to ride back to LA with him. So cool to see this story complete!

I wouldn't be surprised if Toyota steps up and offers a full resto on this baby.

i'm pretty sure they contacted lexus about this asking will anything happen to them if the car makes it to a million, and they're response was something to the order of "well yea it's an LS 400 why wouldn't it reach a million?"

I believe Matt handed it off to someone in Florida who was going to turbo charge. To me that's not a fitting final chapter to such an Icon.Oh well...
If anybody hears more updates please post.
