Default My "new" 1992 SC400 w/ 48k Miles

Good evening gents,

I recently purchased a '92 SC400 with only 48k miles. I have always wanted a cosmetically perfect SC and the '92-94 SC400 has always been my favorite. Well low and behold, I have one now and I'm absolutely head over heels!

I was wondering when you were going to post the new SC. It looks incredible!

I noticed you have a GX now too and the IS-F is gone.

Beautiful ride! Not many 92-94's with a full working gauge cluster!

That’s so true. Mine is finally dying in my 93.

You should be "heads over Heels" that is almost a miracle pick up. I'm sure you know that. The way yours looks, folks won't have a clue to its age, some will think its almost new. It does look new.
Luxor and Kira are right about gauges amazing, the lights on mine have never worked like they should, but that's been really the only pebble in my shoe

Maybe you can give the Club a roadmap on how to get what you got. Gorgeous, obviously timeless ride. All the best, Good Luck

Appreciate all of the kind words, gents!



Now I know a lot of you are "all about the details," such as myself. I had some never-issued 1992 Texas plates transferred on to give it the period correct look!

That’s awesome! How was the process to get those old school Texas plates on your car? I would love to do that to my car.
