Not Just a Convertible

I am a broker and have been hired to sell this magnificent car. I took the pictures myself with my digital camera and uploaded them on this auction. The pictures are as I took them, they have not been touched up or tampered with. What you see is the real car on it's complete and beautiful condition.  This car was purchased by an older couple who added to their collection of cars. He always drove convertibles, he loved them, and this car was his passion. A hardtop convertible, he felt he had the best of both worlds. This car have never been in rain, snow, dirt or even gravel roads. It has always been garaged. He kept it clean and detailed on a regular basis to preserve his dream car. He was very meticulous on making sure all services were completed on time. The car fax report alone is a testament of this man's loyalty to his car. It simply looks and even feels brand new as if it came right off the showroom floor. The seats look like they have never been sat in. There is only one thing that I can see, and that he did come to close to the curb one night, and kissed the right side wheels and they have some scuff marks, he was heart broken, but never did have it touched up, he left it original. The wife had decided to liquidate some of the cars that they had purchased over the years, after her husband passed. This car is one of them, she was not very fond of convertibles. So for the first time since they bought it brand new, this car is being offered for the first time for sale. The beautiful gold paint is flawless, the cream leather seats are simply delicious. The wood trim, just wraps you in luxury. A very inviting, warm, charming and elegant car to have and to drive. This SC 430 has 72,558 miles of all Southern California driving, where the sun shines all the time, and where cars are part of our family, we love our cars and I know you will love this car. If you are looking for a classic for a reasonable price, then take a second look at this beauty, you will be glad you did.

Volvo S90 Recharge, Lexus RX 350 and spring beer picks | Autoblog Podcast #679

Fri, May 21 2021

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski. They start off discussing the Volvo S90 Recharge and wonder out loud why the brand's plug-in technology isn't also offered with a wagon body style. They then discuss the Lexus RX350 and why it's likely an ideal premium crossover for a large percentage of buyers. From there, Greg and Jeremy cover some recent news items, including the current state of BMW's coupes and rumors that Toyota's next Land Cruiser will lose its V8 engine in favor of a turbocharged V6. Then it's time to go over some of our current favorite spring beers before turning to the mailbag and spending some listener's money.

Online Find of the Day: Lexus-engined Mercedes pickup is a vintage hybrid

Tue, 16 Sep 2014

You have to love someone who gets incredibly committed to a very weird idea. What you see for sale here is a right-hand drive 1971 Mercedes-Benz 220D in South Africa, but this old Mercedes is now converted into a pickup, complete with bed cover, and there's big secret under the hood, too.
The pickup conversion appears well done based on seller Sedgefield Classic Cars' photos. Even the tonneau cover fits well. You could almost believe that this Mercedes lived its life as a Chevrolet El Camino-like pickup from the very beginning.
However, the rear-quarters conversion might not be the weirdest thing about this Mercedes. The original diesel is gone from the engine bay in favor of a Lexus V8. It seems really odd to pop the hood and find a Japanese mill in this German car, but the photos make it look like a fairly well performed swap. So, bravo to the crazy thinking. According to the seller speaking to Autoblog by email, "as far as we can establish, this was done a few years ago, with all Lexus components."

Lexus still weighing convertible prospects [w/poll]

Wed, Dec 10 2014

Lexus dealers may be clamoring more for a three-row crossover than a two-door convertible, but as far as the automaker itself is concerned, the prospect of a droptop is not out of the question. In fact, according to the latest report from Automotive News, Lexus is currently considering two alternative proposals for adding a new convertible to its lineup. One would be based on the LF-C2 concept showcased at the LA Auto Show last month and take the form of an RC convertible, essentially taking the place of the outgoing IS Convertible at a relatively accessible market position. The other would essentially be a roadster version of the LF-LC sports car and take a much higher position in the company's lineup. Lexus is reportedly evaluating whether it can justify having both convertibles in its lineup – something it hasn't done since the IS and SC convertibles briefly overlapped in 2009-10. But considering the downwards slide in sales of IS Convertibles, it would be hard to make the business case for two new ones. So if sales of the IS Convertible have been so low, why make a new droptop altogether, you ask? A fair question, and the answer very well might come down to projecting a more youthful image and attracting younger buyers into Lexus showrooms – even if they don't ultimately buy a convertible at all. Lexus is well aware that its core customer base is aging, and is in no rush to alienate its more mature clientele, but if it's going to succeed in the long run, it's going to have to bring in younger customers. Have an opinion one way or the other? Voice it in the informal poll below.
