Keep the red one unless you want to sell it to me.

Sell the other one if you absolutely have to sell one.

This is such a hard decision. I say flip a coin and call it quits on one of them. Any rust under the cars?

Go to a image sharing website such as imageshack.us and just load them up that way.

I think I'm leaning towards keeping the 300. In my searches I haven't seen a 300 with such low miles. The bad pics I have doesn't do either car any justice. It will be a nice before and after once they get a concourse level detail. I am still on the fence about this. Any advice would be appreciated. The car I decide to sell will be offered to a club member first before I advertise it to a broader audience.

The pictures are neat! I would for sure keep the 400, but, looks like you've already made up your mind. I'll be on the lookout for it in the classifieds.

I'm torn if you can only keep one. The SC400 historically was the more iconic car in the USA at the time of its initial launch but these days it's the SC300 that gathers more attention because of it's closer relation to the high performance Soarer and Supra. Either car is very special and having a hard time choosing between two externally identical models that are very different mechanically owes to what a great design these cars had in their day.

It's a decision made harder due to the fact that both the 1UZ and 2JZ engines were over-engineered such that they are both very notable as historical footnotes.

I absolutely love the 400 for its silky feel, and more bottom end. It definitely feels more refined. I love the 300 for its lighter feel, the endless ability for its performance. I love both colors but the red grabs my attention a lil more. The 300 has such crazy low miles, but honestly the condition doesn't differ much from each. I always wanted one of these cars in my collection. All my other cars from my collection have lower mileage than the 300 but my saying is "find another one like it"

If I really had to make the choice I would just go with which ever is cleaner, if the 300 was a manual then I'd definitely go with that one :\
