If you haven’t noticed, vintage Land Cruisers are once again all the rage. Values for Cruisers are tip-toeing into the bubble-sphere with prices swelling at an alarming rate. What ever is driving the renaissance of the Cruiser, people are lining up to buy these vehicles regardless of the asking price. Here we have a 1978 FJ40 listied on Hemmings for $42,900. Let me grab my pencil… In 1978 dollars, that’s still $13,250. The average cost of a home in 1978 was $50,000. Numbers aside, these trucks are simply awesome, and many buyers and sellers agree these trucks are worth more than any of the numbers being tossed around. This Cruiser is beautiful in its Tron Blue with a nice blend of modern updates. I’m not going to lie, I’d love to have this in my driveway.
