Those that know me would say, "WHAT another 40th anniversary 80?? You just sold yours." Well my answer is yes another one. I couldn't live with out having an 80. I would have to say that my favorite LC would have to be the 80 series. Before the purchase of this 80, I had a DD 98 Lexus LS400 which I sold. I had gotten a BJ70 at the time as well so that was my DD until I decided what my next DD would be. So I perusing around CL, I found a rust free unlocked 1997 40th Anniversary in Sage with 159k on it. Well needless to say I jumped on it.
Rig had been parked for a few years and had some fading on the clearcoat. It also has a small knock, PO said it was a wrist pin. Tranny shifts a little hard as well, has a front main leak. I thought perfect another project. I can do a 5 speed swap and rebuild the engine. Now my issue is will I have the time.
Here she is the day I picked her up:
