I bought a new one in 73 for 4,300. It was an underpowered rustbucket and it rusted completely through in two years. I bought it to get through heavy snow in the Pennsylvania mountains but it didn't have enough power or traction, I sold it and got next to nothing for it.
they all kinda looked the same to me until now. Gather a few hundred into one place and line them up and you can see things were always changing. Good video!
Nice to see a video on the Toyota Land Cruiser and its 'evolution'. They were (and probably still are) very popular in South America. I have friends who came from Bolivia to the UK and the family over there had one or two. The Icelandic truck was great with those oversized tyres, just right for the terrain there. Thanks for the post Steve. 👍👍
Yeah the waiting list for quite a few cars here is crazy. Worst thing I heard is even if you pay for a car when you order it if the price goes up before you get it you have to pay the difference when it's finally delivered.
Land Rovers are for poseurs and boulevardiers more concerned with their image than reliability. Land Cruisers are for adventurers who regularly jump off the asphalt with the confidence they'll get through whatever Mother Nature throws before them and get back again, more than likely without breaking down.
