Mondays suck. Japanese classics like this beautiful imported Land Cruiser can help with that. It’s a diesel AND it’s a manual. Brown too, with only 95,000 miles. And the decals on the side say TURBO WAGON. It doesn’t get much cooler than this.

I hope whoever buys this leaves it alone. It’s in great shape, which leads me to assume that it hasn’t seen much off road duty. This would be a great summertime cruiser and it’s a total time capsule. Oh and the seats say “Turbo” on them too!

Another Cruiser. This time, an FJ40. It looks half finished - the seats are covered and therefore presumably roached. The exterior wears a fresh looking coat of black paint, but the inside of the doors are red. There are at least three different coats of paint on this thing, as the dash and the inside of the engine bay are still off white, which was probably the original plaint color.

This RX2 is a little odd. Photos indicate that it was restored at some point, and it has what looks to be a refreshed original engine under the hood. But the wheel/tire combo suggests that someone wanted it to be a drag car - which it certainly isn’t with the anemic old rotary powerplant. I’d source some more discrete wheels and call it done.

This thing is definitely a drag car. It has Plexiglas windows, fat rear tires, and a roll cage. There’s also a rotary under the hood. “CALL PAPO HABLO ESPANOL” to find out what the fuck is going on here.

This Z is way too expensive but it’s in nice condition. It’d be a good buy if you can get the seller to knock a few thousand dollars off the price. As I’ve mentioned before, these cars have some pretty neat interior options, like a digital dash and/or a manually operated graphic equalizer on the center stack.

This Samurai is ready to hit the trails. Lift, lights, and aggressive tires: check!

This Supra Turbo is in excellent condition, other than the seats - they seem to have fallen victim to some kind of strange red blotch treatment. What are those? Seat covers? Doesn’t look like it...

Not one but TWO Cressidas! If you don’t think these are cool, get out. Seriously. Just leave. These old barges hail from Toyota’s pre-Lexus days, and I think they’re fascinating. The styling is all over the place. The exterior is pure eighties drab; they’re boxes on wheels. The interiors, however, wouldn’t look out of place on a seventies Cadillac. They look like overstuffed armchairs.
