1989 Toyota Hilux RN90R DX "LOWLUX" - Green - 166,736km - Lexus 1UZ-FE 5.0L V8 Petrol, 5-Speed Automatic
Overview
The Toyota Hilux has earned a legendary reputation for durability, reliability and versatility, making it one of Australia's most respected utility vehicles. This 1989 RN90R DX Dual Cab, however, is anything but ordinary. Professionally transformed into the aptly named "LOWLUX", this one-of-a-kind custom show truck combines the iconic Hilux platform with Lexus V8 performance, air suspension and bespoke styling to create a vehicle unlike any other on the road.
The vendor advises this unique build has been extensively customised with a Lexus 1UZ-FE 5.0-litre V8 conversion, delivering smooth performance, effortless power and the unmistakable soundtrack for which the Lexus V8 has become renowned. A 5-speed automatic transmission complements the V8 conversion, while the professionally installed air suspension system allows the vehicle to lower dramatically for show presentation or raise to a practical driving height when required.
The exterior has been comprehensively customised with a Lexus-inspired front end featuring a Lexus grille and badging, giving rise to the vehicle's distinctive "LOWLUX" identity. Finished in green, the body presents with strong visual appeal and showcases the considerable workmanship invested throughout the build. The combination of the lowered stance, custom styling and V8 power creates a show vehicle that attracts attention wherever it appears.
Whether displayed at automotive events, cruising the streets or simply parked at a gathering, LOWLUX is designed to stand apart from conventional custom utes. The vendor advises significant time, effort and expense have gone into creating this professionally finished build, making it an ideal acquisition for custom vehicle enthusiasts, Toyota and Lexus collectors or buyers seeking a genuine one-off show truck. Log books are also included with the vehicle.
Condition
The vehicle presents as a well-finished custom build. The vendor advises the Hilux has been professionally modified throughout with extensive cosmetic and mechanical upgrades. Minor stone chips are visible on the bonnet leading edge, light kerb rash is present on the front passenger alloy wheel, and minor surface oxidation is noted in the spare wheel well. Buyers are encouraged to inspect the vehicle to satisfy themselves as to the quality of the build, modifications and overall mechanical condition prior to bidding.
