Title: vintage toyota land cruisers
Post by: Naches Sportsman on June 02, 2013, 08:21:15 PM: who has one? I drove what is most likely the best looking and kept up 1972 toyota land cruiser in south cental washington. My neighbor passed 2 years ago and his wife was never allowed to drive it so I drive it every month or so. He was a Dr. and in his spare time used to drive it on mt clemans when roads were all over the place to shoot chukars while sitting on the bumper.

I just smile like a young kid with cotton candy at the fair when driving that thing. the people at the bars were definetely interested in the rig when I drove by.

His widow is keeping it in the family and sold it to a nephew in nevada.

It was not safe in its current condition when I got it due to body mounts and rust. I can not wait to get it back on the road..
