Default Rare Red LS400 Interior

Was going through the local junkyard and found this rare ls400. No sunroof, red cloth.

Nice find, very rare. When I bought my 96 LS400 many years ago, the car lot also had a very rare white 1990(?) LS400 that had a gray cloth interior and no sunroof. The dealership owner explained that it was an Arizona car. I said “ooh, neat” and proceeded to buy the ‘96 lol

Love the green trim on the seats and doors. Usually most junkyards don't keep cars around that long. But hell, if ya have room to keep it ya might as well cuz ya never know when someone will need parts off that, except interior of course. Good find, not too many 90-92's left, even in the yards.
Can you give a plug for the yard incase people in your area need it, especially with all the discontinued parts nowadays.

The car is at Marshalls towing which is a junkyard in Sewell NJ. 856 478 4669 if anyone needs it. Shame the windows are left open. Still a lot of useable interior parts in it actually.

always a shame when fine machinery finally makes its way down to someone who can't afford to properly look after it

the moss actually looks like it might be comfy lol

Default Shame....

What a terrible shame, i frown upon who did this, to leave one of my favorite cars out there like that to rot, especially with a pet peeve of mine to leave the windows down and open so the interior can just rot, its always been a dream of mine to get my hands on a red interior LS400, i have a white one with a gray interior, honestly im sad i saw this thread, wishing i could buy that beauty and restore the crap out of it.

That's a damn shame. Those Burgundy beauties were only made in the first Gen.
