3 old Land Cruisers for sale update.

RH Tig
97 40th Anniversary dark green 193K miles bought in Alexandria VA
97 black 260K bought in Harrisonburg VA
96 Triple locker black 240K
Dude works for Norfolk Southern, cars are at his Smith Mtn Lake home. He thinks the 40th Anniv one might be sold. Did a little work on all 3, no known issues. Have a few pics, they all look purty good. But that's a lot of miles as a starting point.

to be middle-aged. Not that I still wouldn't consider one at that price, but I'm flush enough with cash to look in double that price range.

200k is absolutely nothing on these if it's been maintained.

The 40th anniversary package is overrated.

It's an exterior color, a two tone leather interior, and a badge.
The real money on these is the factory front and rear lockers, which the 96 appears to have.
I'd look for receipts for the head gasket having been done, and a recent front knuckle rebuild as well....that's a common maintenance item that gets overlooked.
Don't sweat the interior condition of the leather (although factory cloth is nice to have). You can now get nice replacement leather in OEM colors and pattern for <$1000.
If you can find one, it's nice to have one without the factory luggage rack on top---it was a dealer installed option at the port and is a typical weak spot for eventual water ingress.
Lastly, make sure you drive one if you're a big guy. These were sized for the Japanese market, and there's a lot less room in the driver's seat than you might expect---I bought mine sight unseen and it was a bit of a surprise.

yeah, what boosted my interest is a raggedy one I've seen

at a one-man used car lot close to here. It's a 40th, but who needs a mini-plaque signifying such on their console. He can't get enough stuff repaired on it to get it inspected, but I did sit in it, and was surprised at the lack of leg room. Still need to drive one.

raggedy ones can still be good options, just figure

on $2k as a minimum starting point to get it back to the mechanical baseline where it should be.

well, this one's fenders don't line up right on one side.
May 22, 2019, 9:00 AM

and the rubber weatherstripping and gaskets for the fender flares are all dry-rotted. I'm not looking for a pristine one, nor a big project. I wouldn't sweat about 200K miles either- this ragged one shows 193K, but those above w/ 240 or 260 as an ownership starting point is a bit much. And no telling what keeps turning up to get it to pass inspection. The day I looked at it, he was replacing the cat converters. That was weeks ago. It disappeared, then reappeared this week, but still parked in the back.

gotcha.....my definition of "raggedy" didn't

include much bodywork needed, just general mechanical and basic cosmetics.
A lot of them though do seem to have the 90's mohawk where the paint fades along every horizontal body panel---hood, roof, etc.

Loving my 1969. I should have bought one earlier. So much fun to drive and my two little ones love it too, constantly asking to go for a ride. I went and bought a booster and new car seat just to leave in there as we are taking so many rides. Hardest thing was finding sufficient way to tether the car seats. That took some searching.
