Ownership History

From the seller: “This Lexus SC430 was purchased new in 2005 by famed jeweler Robert C. Grabowski in Southern California and then lived its life in Sun Valley, Idaho, after 2008, where I purchased it. Robert had galleries in Monterey, Carmel, and Ojai, California, as well as in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He sold the SC to me in 2023 when he was 90.”
