No, I'm not talking about Godzilla or any other Kaiju/Daikaiju.

I'm talking about big, brash American vehicles for sale in Japan through Goo-Net.

First up, is this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

This big ol' Cummins Turbo Diesel powered beast has 89,000 km on it, plus what seems to be either a spray on or roll on bedliner.

Thing is, if you want a big beast like this in Japan, you better be willing to pay. It's selling for US$65,920.

If you don't wanna spend that much, there's this !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! with 84,000 kilometers on it.

The listing doesn't have a model year, but judging by the front end, it's between 2003 and 2007.

This one's cheaper, US$49,380.

Next up, is a little bit of #Banditbait, a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , and yes, it's a 6.6 Litre SE model.

No mileage listed, and there's no CB radio or snowflake wheels. But hey, T-Tops!

Life the life of the Japanese Bandit for US$47,410.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any Hot Rod Lincolns, but I did find this beastly !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

The engine is listed as a 7000cc, which I think in the late first generation models means a 428CJ, but I'm not entirely sure.

60,000 km, and a price of US$55,850.

Now, swinging back to the big on the outside part of the spectrum, here's a brand new !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

This beast is a very big vehicle (as I can personally confirm) inside and out.

How much does it cost in Japan? US$123,160. Not far off from DOUBLE the price of new in the US.

Lastly, something on the rarer side, a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . In two years, 1972 and 1973, only 20,223 Commandos were built, making this one a bit rare.

This one is in practically new condition, probably restored. No mileage data, but there is a price. The cheapest of this set, US$28,870.
