I briefly sat in an LC at the showroom.  It was a sublimely nice place to be.  :drool:

I love the looks of the LC and it's stunning in that colour above!   Lexus sure knows how to do paint!

Calling Bubba!

Sweet!  It appears that a '73 grille replaced the original.  All it needs is a Super Six transplant and it's good to go.

Those bumper guards look like tusks.

I sure like this color on the "Inspiration Series" LC500! Color is Khaki Metallic.



 :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool:

So, interestingly, the Lexus halo colours seem to mirror Toyota's TRD PRO halo colours every year.  Last year, Lexus has Structural Blue, while Toyota had Voodoo Blue.  This year Lexus has Khaki Metallic Green, while Toyota TRD Pro has Military Green. 

Yes, they're different shades of each colour, but it's still interesting.  I wonder if it's a coincidence, or purposeful?

Probably a little bit of both. They're likely following colour trends.

That Lexus LC is one of the best looking cars I've ever seen in person that is a new design.  It's like some car from the future came back in time.

Wasn't that also true when the SC400 came out?

Personally I hate when I see the new LC on the road as I can't stop staring at it and lose focus on what I should be doing which usually is driving.

Brent!

https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1986-plymouth-horizon/

Sold for 17 255 US$  :)

Wow,that's a lot for an Omni.

It's a GLHS, so pretty epic and special.

Yeah I realize that . I actually always liked them. The hatchback Shelby's were cool too.
I actually had a more sedate 1985 Charger.

Is this price out to lunch? Looks like not a single body panel hasn't been hit (rollover?)

Non numbers matching 440 and four speed are worth?  Because that's what you're buying. "Engine and trans for sale, free junker chassis included."

If the engine is whole and the trans good, then maybe, just maybe, that $10K number might be realistic.

Looks like it was in a demolition derby  :o

No trim or glass either. Looks like it was someone's parts car and they have already pulled the good parts.
