I,too, have seen 400's with a hardtop....they're around
LoL, but yours is an SC300, lol.


From what i can tell with some research, is that its not just the fact that its a hardtop that makes it rare, its the lack of ABS, even though the VIN says it has it, but it isnt there and has never been removed.

That's a sweet car too plus it has gray interior!
So wait a minute UZZ, your car doesn't have ABS either? That's one thing my car does have is ABS. I'm gonna get rid of it tho when I do my motor swap

Mine only has ABS and nothing else. I just think it's bad *** that your car is what it is. I'm glad I made this thread cause I really had no idea about some of this. I'm still tryin to post pics of my car so soon as I figure out how I'll show everyone. It's pretty basic tho nothin anyone hasn't seen already lol

Thanks bro, im surprised myself at its rarity. I called my old boss at Lexus and asked him about the ABS deal (he was a parts guy when the SC's where first coming out) and he said that my vehicle would have had to have not only been ordered without abs, but sent back to the factory from the showroom floor to have it removed because its build roster shows it having abs when it first left the factory! F'in right!

Lets see your ride bro!

Get a photobucket, upload them, and use the [IMG] style HTML to insert it.

No electric tilt like most SC's, you have to pull a lever and move the column around.

Tilt goes up and down and teloscoping goes in and out on the steering wheel. so instead of buttons there are levers. I love it
