At the dealership we see a ton of great models that weren’t available to the US market. We get some niche and bespoke sports cars, some cool cabover haulers, and models like the Toyota Crown, which were top sellers in pretty much every market except our own! Our 1997 Crown Majesta is a great example of the JZS155 chassis, and shows great in stunning White Pearl (051). Set off by an FRP 3p lip kit, privacy tint, LED mirror covers and 19″ AME Steiner Alloys, the VIP-inspired aesthetics steal the show and the 95k verified/documented miles on the ticker only sweeten the deal. Backed by a durable 2JZ drivetrain this sedan is easy to own and maintain in the US. This distinctive Crown is a great way to achieve VIP status at a frugal entry point. Clean, comfortable, and turn-key ready to roll, this Majesta might be your new favorite Japanese Classic!
Finished in premium materials, and set off by some top-market leather seat covers, the interior is a plush and comfortable place to spend your next road trip. Both driver and passenger benefit from power adjustable seating, and dual front and side airbags are on hand to give you and any safety conscious passengers some additional peace of mind behind the wheel. A tilt and telescoping steering column aids accessibility, and power locks, windows, and electric folding side mirrors make daily use more enjoyable. The dash is free of any unwanted cracks or UV distortion and the center stack is trimmed in tasteful woodgrain accents. Dual zone automatic climate control is at the ready, and doles out cold A/C and hot heat at a moments notice. The headliner is clean, and the carpets beneath have been protected by some plush OEM mats. Fans of natural ventilation will appreciate the expansive power moonroof, and optional auto airpuri adds an air of sophistication to the interior. Save for some yellowing on the plastics and an inoperable aftermarket headunit, there’s little to gripe about with this cabin as a whole. Even the factory heads up display is fully functional to help the next owner feel good about their investment, and the factory carpet mats are in great shape too!
While the chassis is uniquely Japanese, the drivetrain under the bonnet is common fare here in the states. The 2JZ-GE VVT-i is fresh off a recent service here at the shop and we chucked in a new 12v battery for good measure. We flushed out any old lubricant with a fresh oil and filter service, and we addressed a leaky oil pan and valve cover gaskets. With the maintenance performed the naturally aspirated 3.0 is delightfully peppy under hard acceleration and the exhaust note is accentuated slightly by an aftermarket quad tip axleback. Power is shot rearward through a smooth shifting automatic, and Cusco coilovers provide a significant boost in both aesthetics and handling. We bolstered the ABS system with new front pads and rotors, and we wrapped the 19’s in fresh Falken rubber. After a four wheel alignment, she drives right as rain and is ready to steal the show at your next Toyota meet or downtown cruise!
