Ezroni, do you happen to know the name of the color on some later model SC's, it is a dark wine plum color. Or a metallic burgundy. Is there a color chart online for model year SC's? Thanks
If it helps, I usually resort to this http://www.toyotareference.com/lexussc/1992-2000

sounds like 3M9, "baroque red metallic" according to the paint code chart that Fuji posted! you got your eye on one in this color? it's pretty rare

I almost bought that car in SD, didn't get a chance to get down there in time. I was in LA the weekend that the car sold and I was about to be on my way down there.... sad 14k miles 5 spd. so amazing, wasn't a fan of the tan interior though.. ended up with a 98 black on black so happy

it's a dark grey with a purple hue from what i remember.. can look pink in direct sunlight i guess.. depends on how the lighting is just like how RSP's can look more purple than blue in certain lighting

Good luck! That red one looks great - it'll look even better with an engine. :-)

Hello all, just purchased a 2 owner platinum metallic (I think that is correct color name) with blk interior 97 sc300 manual in northern Virginia. Will post the data and pics soonest. Car has 140k on the clock. Needs a few minor things (door hinge and some new rear tires), but otherwise in good condition.
