Default SC400 in junkyard.

Went to the LQK You-Pull-It today to get a few bolts I was missing from any random Toyota in the yard and what is in the front of the yard but a Black 93 SC400. I was shocked, I've never seen any Lexus' there before. Most of the interior was stripped but to my surprise the V8 was still in it and intact, minus the MAF. I ended up pulling all 4 of the brake calipers. I checked the door for the trans code, A02A=open diff, .
Crazy thing I found a Turbo timer in the car so I'm wondeing if it was turbo at one time? All the front bumper cover an radiator were gone so it was hard to tell. I noticed the engine harness had a couple of slices so I'm curious about the car. Anybody know of a black SC400 that was recently scrapped in St Petersburg, FL?

I'm going for a similar look to these when I'm done.

sounds like someone had a fast car and crashed it.

p.s. are you really surprised the engine is still in there? these motors are strong.

No SC in the states that I know of came with an LSD. The LSD's were limited to Toyota Soarers.

Yes I was surprised it was still with the car. I would have figured some would have pulled it to either swap out a high milage engine or to do a build on.
