Beauties. I did 4k miles on a road trip in one of those Land Cruisers, from Denver to Cabo San Lucas, six weeks round trip, 1995. Utterly dependable. We averaged somewhere around 13 mpg.

I had at least a dozen of these in the late '80's to mid 90's, they could be had for less than $400. This was my nicest example, bonus points for guessing the engine and carburetor configuration as evidenced by the factory dual exhaust.
