Titled 1994 FZJ80 came from US Marshal auction (Apple Auctions). Photo below.
Trouble is, it's got a 1997 LX450 Black with silver body, LX450 interior panels and a 40th anniversary interior (2 tone leather). SO, at least 3 trucks to make one.
Frame VIN is 1994 and matches the dash VIN (poorly installed) and the sticker in the door (sticker in door falling off but matches the 1994 truck.)
Has a dash locker switch but no lockers.
Came with some ridiculous wheels and 40th anniversary color mirrors.
Chop shop did a good job removing ALL ID from motor and trans (tags removed) and cannot find Lexus VIN on any body panels.
Motor is 96 or 97 and is smooooth and quiet; interior of motor is super clean; trying to ascertain miles on the likely stolen or wrecked original body and drive train.
Any hidden VIN place I should check? We've looked closely, but have NOT stripped out all interior panels, door panels, pulled up carpet, etc. Windows not etched.
Carfax shows the '94 had like 285k but odometer shows 85k.
Engine number near starter is still there but seems that's not tied to VIN.
Is the airbag tied to a VIN? Passenger airbag?
Sorry, the wheels are already sold.
