A grand tourer that was originally designed to compete with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz CL, the Lexus SC has always been an outlier, enjoyed by connoisseurs of cars that offer a combination of comfort and reliability with the open-top motoring experience. This 2002 Lexus SC430 is a perfect example of the second generation of SC, and with an original MSRP of $61,000, this garage-kept car has plenty of choice options that have helped it stay modern.
Exterior and Interior
This silver example of a 2002 Lexus SC430 features a beige leather interior with plenty of wood adorning the dashboard and steering wheel. This electrically-operated hard-top convertible can go from slick-top coupe to open-top convertible in just 25 seconds. The Lexus SC430 was designed with particular emphasis applied to its performance in the wind tunnel, enabling engineers to craft the car so that, when the roof was down, wind would be channelled away from the passenger compartment. The interior also features the premium Mark Levinson audio system that was offered on the SC430 from the factory, which includes speed-sensitive volume control.
Engine
The engine underneath the hood of the Lexus SC430 is a 4.3-liter V8 which powers the grand tourer through a 5-speed gearbox. With 288hp and 317 lb-ft of torque, the SC430 can do the 0-60mph sprint in 6.2 seconds.
Designed to blend the refinement of a luxury coupe with the freedom of top-down touring, the Lexus SC 430 remains one of the brand's most elegant grand touring convertibles. Introduced for the 2002 model year, the SC 430 quickly earned a reputation for exceptional build quality, silky-smooth V8 performance, and unmatched long-term reliability—qualities that continue to make it a favorite among enthusiasts seeking a comfortable, dependable luxury cruiser. This 2005 Lexus SC 430 shows just 57,321 miles and is finished in Millennium Silver Metallic over an Ivory leather interior. Equipped with desirable factory accessories and complemented by aftermarket chrome wheels, this hardtop convertible is perfectly suited for everything from relaxed coastal drives to long-distance road trips.
At a time when luxury automakers were experimenting with innovative convertible designs, the Lexus SC 430 emerged as one of the most refined grand touring convertibles on the market. This 2003 Lexus SC 430, showing just 54,607 miles, combines timeless styling, exceptional build quality, and Lexus reliability into a package that remains highly desirable more than two decades after its debut. Powered by a smooth 4.3-liter V8 and featuring a power retractable hardtop, the SC 430 delivers the comfort of a luxury coupe and the enjoyment of an open-top roadster. Finished in elegant Millennium Silver Metallic over Ecru leather, this example presents an excellent opportunity to own a well-preserved luxury cruiser from Lexus’ golden era.
Luxury hardtop convertibles are a dying breed, which makes this 2008 Lexus SC 430 Pebble Beach Edition an increasingly desirable modern classic. Showing just 45,905 miles, this limited-production grand touring convertible was created to celebrate Lexus’ long-standing partnership with the prestigious Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. Combining Lexus reliability with elegant styling and a silky-smooth V8 powerplant, the SC 430 offers a refined driving experience that remains just as enjoyable today as it was when new. Finished in exclusive Smoky Granite Mica and equipped with the highly sought-after Pebble Beach Edition package, this example represents a unique opportunity to own one of the final luxury retractable hardtop convertibles from Lexus.
The 1994 Lexus SC 300 is a standout example of Lexus’ approach to building a refined grand touring coupe with serious enthusiast appeal. Showing 54,387 miles, this example features the highly regarded 3.0L naturally aspirated 2JZ-GE inline-6 paired with a factory 5-speed manual transmission, offering a rare combination of smooth performance, rear-wheel-drive dynamics, and driver engagement. Finished in Super White with an Ivory leather interior, this SC 300 blends Japanese luxury with sports car fundamentals.
The Lexus LC 500 Convertible represents a increasingly rare formula in the modern luxury-performance world: dramatic grand-touring styling, open-air motoring, and a naturally aspirated V8 rather than a downsized turbocharged powertrain. This 2026 example takes that character a step further with the Bespoke Build Package, pairing a Caviar exterior with a tan leather cabin, gray convertible soft top, dark chrome accents, and forged 21-inch wheels. With just 1,528 miles, it also brings together desirable comfort and technology equipment including semi-aniline comfort seats, a head-up display, Mark Levinson premium audio, upper body heating, and the All-Weather Package. For the enthusiast who wants V8 theater without giving up Lexus-level luxury, this LC 500 Convertible checks an increasingly uncommon set of boxes.
Lexus built the LC 500 Convertible to be more than a roofless version of its flagship coupe, and the Inspiration Series takes that idea even further. This 2022 Lexus LC 500 Inspiration Series Convertible shows just 10,778 miles and is one of only 150 examples produced. Finished in exclusive Iridium with a Dark Rose fabric top and a Black-and-Dark Rose interior, it has the rare combination of naturally aspirated V8 drama, limited-edition appeal, and genuinely distinctive design that makes it feel special before the engine is even started.
