Yeah buddy you got it I was really surprised and amazed that a lot of people got this song beings the short little tidbit that I put in there… It’s close enough you forgot in the guy previous to you forgot the second part I was on the fence about using this song because it’s technically two songs in one. Be sure to tune in tomorrow to catch 1959 Buick invicta super cool episode
@@What.its.like. I loved the 59 Buicks! Looked like nothing else on the road with those crazy canted fins front and back. Lost a little style imo in 60 with the traditionally placed quad headlights. Looking forward to it!
That is exactly right. Nice and breezy on the highway, but bugs can be lethal. Looks cool though with the windshield down and the doors off. Wish I still had mine. ruclips.net/video/NRSEyu3ziKw/видео.html
Great video as always! Back in 1970 my family was determined to buy either a Landcruiser (not the pickup) or a VW Campmobile. But what turned us off on both vehicles was the price, about 3,500 dollars, lot of money during a time when you could buy a house for 30,000 dollars, a gallon of gas for 30 cents, a loaf of bread for 20 cents. So, we ended up keeping our old 56 VW Convertible; and the five of us would ride up to the mountains with the top down. Interesting vehicle, and quite rare. The Landcruisers that we saw in 1970 were 4 seaters, I never saw the pickup version out in the wild. This vehicle may seem outwardly crude and basic- but it was the best version Toyota made, for later versions transformed what was a good basic off-roader to a luxury laden behemoth that was so big and heavy that it cannot navigate many trails (and you would be afraid of scratching with brush and stones). Why, as a society, do we demand today 100,000 dollar status symbols to roll around in Walmart parking lots?
Hey Jay, I couldn't hear enough of the music to get a jump on that, however: Dude, > Very Good Choice of music to the time of the vehicle....... that song came out right about that time when the '69' were coming out! > Good choice
I’m going to try to do songs from the. If the car had music from the. Like if it’s cars from the 20s 30s maybe even 40 some 50s cars rock ‘n’ roll didn’t really start coming into town until 55.. but yeah it was a song from 69 tonight’s episode will have a song from 59
I bought a brand new 1976 FJ40, it was the best 4 wheel drive i ever owned. Wish i never sold it, it was so awsome. I would take over any of the others you posted. I miss it till this day. Thanks
I always wondered what these things drove like I just recently drove a land rover from 1989 turbo diesel it was like driving a tractor or Karman Ghia had no power absolutely none owner told me that 55-60 miles an hour is like the end of the world
It drove really good. It was sprung pretty hard but handled great, It was geard pretty low so i kept around 65-70 on the freeways. i drove it to work and back five days a week and during summer months drove it from Berkeley california to the gold country to Georgetown on weekends and went 4-wheeling. Sold it after six years. It was bullet proof. Always had it serviced and had the valves ajusted every year. it was a blast to drive. Always was going to get a overdrive for it but never did.
Great looking truck! Looks perfect for various types of recreation. I've always liked the look of the old Blazers, and the Scouts as well ! I'd pick those. 😎
She brought Utility to the sports utility vehicle. The Straight 6 in this truck was a metricized version of the 1955 Chevrolet 6-cylinder..at least that's my BIL told me in '71. WYR The Toyota for both, it's so damn cute.
Awesome choice and awesome information you’re not the first person to say that this was the metric version of a Chevy in-line six very interesting I’ll have to do a episode on this engine. Maybe one day finding specs on this particular vehicle wasn’t the easiest thing in the world to do. Especially the engine specifications you would think that all that stuff would be out there
I grew up in one of these. In some countries, they came with Mercedes-Benz engines, such as the OM 314 Unimog engine. In my country, they had the straight six Husky petrol engine. 2mpg imp in deep sand, with the rear diff leaving its mark on the beach.
There's a 69 Land Cruiser at my local Toyota dealer restored in the waiting area of the service shop ( they are horrible). I go to a different shop 22 miles away for my 2 Toyotas. I've never seen in person the pickup version so it's no surprise that the owner won't do anything with it since it's a survivor. My choices for your scenarios are for the first - The Blazer...they ride so much better than the Broncos and the Toyotas are so rare and valuable. For the second, the IH Scout. My father had 2 different ones. One was a 6 and the other, a 304 V-8. I guess i was biased on that choice.
Two really cool choices =) great story which Toyota’s do you have I bought a Prius because of driving vast distances to cover cars. Love it tires are super cheap. $10 is still gas money for a Prius
Hey Jay, thank you for this video on a vintage Toyota Land Cruiser! I'm honestly down for some more import metal on this channel. Don't get me wrong, I think old American cars are very cool but I feel like, as someone who loves classic cars, it is important to know what car companies in other countries were doing and how those foreign cars are different compared to American ones.
This is like seeing an old friend! These units were ubiquitous in Central America in the '70's, where mebbe 90% of the region is "off-road". Esteemed by the locals over Jeep, IH Scout, and Land Rover, in that order. Had a good deal of "seat-time" and "box-time" (standing behind that "headache-rack") in these as the things would negotiate goat-tracks that would daunt a mule with assurance. The FJ series was really the Jeep Perfected. Unfortunately, like most of the first wave of Japanese imports, they've allmost dissapeared,,,, due to the ravages of the tin-worm. Once fairly common, the FJ-40's esp. seemed to rot from the rockers up; locally, I don't think I've seen one this century! It's amazing to see one in this shape; it's cleaner than I remember any that I ever saw... Cheers!
Nobody ever regretted owning one of these. Toyota could make a million today and have no problem selling them, with minor mods like a 5 speed and emissions compliant 4 cylinder. Come on Toyota. Make it happen.
Hi Jay!: The pickup is interesting, but it kind of illustrates how people thought Japanese vehicles were so cheap and flimsy. While the mechanicals are reliable, how long would the doors, tailgate, etc., stand up to HARD use. Of course the vehicles from Japan became better and better because they were CHEAP on gas during the energy crunch and all that MONEY from American sales helped them to be able to develop their products to a very high standard. WYR#1 Gotta be the Bronco for me! Those early ones were pretty cool and had some of the most reliable Ford engines and trannys in them. #2 Gotta be the Scout!! I really think those are cool! I dig that a tractor company made such interesting trucks and the little scout!
Great choices thank you so much for sharing that added insight Honda’s and Toyota’s will run forever even from back then just the bodies where made of really thin steel and rusted away
Great video. I was told by someone who owned one years ago that the Six is a Japanese copy of the Chevy 235cu straight six. Always wanted one of these... But not at the prices they're going for now! BTW... Waist size is helpful but Inseam would help more. I'm a 36 waist and 32 inseam. I suspect that seat was all the way back though. Those different choices? They were all rust buckets..!
1: 1969 Ford Bronco. 2: 1969 AMC Jeep. That truck looks cool, but the steering wheel is in a way where I'd have to drive on an empty stomach to NOT throw up.
Lol this one was a hard one to do it seems like the imports are harder than the car is here advertisements are really spotty and information just isn’t there it took me forever to find dimensions.. I want to start getting in the Honda in Datsun more as well. I’ve always wanted to drive a 1600 or 2000 Datsun
I drive a 77 k5 2wd I'm partial 😂 International Harvester Scout was a tractor with a windshield,better axles and steering box than a pre 76 CJ ?? Happy motoring 🤠👋✌️
I need to find an original international scout to cover but if you look at the scout and you look at the bronco Ford pretty much copied carbon copied the scout and put ford badges on it and called it a bronco
That’s a 1934 Lincoln model K it was also featured on this channel if you want to check it out here’s the link ruclips.net/video/7GlhCeN5FfA/видео.html
I will choose the 1. 1969 Ford Bronco 2. 1969 AMC Jeep Still, this is very interesting. Very utilitarian! But, I don't know if I'd want the steering wheel in my crotch.😮

hooks on top of the hood is to lock the windshield when it's fold on hood
Thank you for pointing that out
not

my friend had one,it's in their owner manual😁

Yeah I agree these were expensive crazy thing now is they are even more money than that now and because of rust aren’t as many out there. Great story

We had a 68 Corona 4 speed no power anything no a/c but my brothers and I drove the crap out of it and it still kept right on down the road.
The 69 corona wagon looks a lot like a 62 AMC Ambassador or 61 it was the one year only
Nice vid! Sold in Brazil between 1962 - 2001. Great truck. I have the first version, with OM364 turbo Mercedes adapted.
They hold the windshield down when folded.
Awesome thank you so much for that information
Nice report!
Landcruiser will always be there for me thanks for the video

Yeah for sure we’re going to get into doing more imports =)
They generally are more reliable 😂
Cool little truck bronco jeep I had a 77 CJ-5 fun vehicle.
I saw one on Monday and it didn’t sound stock but sounded great

Awesome glad to bring back those memories =)
Thank you so much fir sharing those memories with us
Great vid! Latches on hood are for when the windshield is folded down
Awesome =)
Glad you dig this video
Now that's I'm seeing it after windshield folds down the latch pins would hold it down on rubber stops on the hood, from bouncing vibrating.
Nobody ever regretted owning one of these. Toyota could make a million today and have no problem selling them, with minor mods like a 5 speed and emissions compliant 4 cylinder. Come on Toyota. Make it happen.
It amazes me the Toyota doesn’t make this. The market is there
Toyota removed the Dyna gearbox and, for two decades or so, been using a Hilux unit, ditto front diff. Yet you pay TLC prices....
My 1970 is just over a million miles on the 2f now
I believe those clasps on the hood are to secure the fold down windshield.
Awesome thank you so much for that information really appreciate it =)
Thank you for sharing 😊👋🐿

I want to start getting in the Honda in Datsun more as well. I’ve always wanted to drive a 1600 or 2000 Datsun
It is for holding the window down also I've seen the spare tire set up on the hood.
Thank you so much I didn’t even think about that..
I've seen the Tow jack on there too
Always wanted this one, not the jeep version
Although the wagon is a close #2
I can’t believe how expensive these are now, I’ll have to see what this truck sold for John just bought this at Barrett Jackson
