1995 Toyota Land Cruiser KZJ73

this Daily Selection It’s a 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser KZJ73, listed on ClassicCars.com by a South Carolina dealer.

Over the past few decades, U.S.-market Toyota Land Cruisers have become more powerful and technologically advanced. However, that progress has come at the expense of open-air fun. Sure, the 2024 model gets leather seats, a head-up display, and a stabilizer disconnect, but you can’t fold down the windshield and remove the roof to let you enjoy the great outdoors while you drive. Fortunately, time has passed long enough that the Land Cruisers we never got in the U.S., like this 1995 KZJ73, are now available.

According to the seller, they purchased this two-door Land Cruiser from a seller in France, who painted it in its original Deep Emerald Pearl color. The two-row gray Moonmist cloth interior is covered by a white fiberglass headliner.

When it’s time to move from paved roads to more challenging terrain, the 1KZ-T 3.0-liter turbodiesel I4 engine provides the power to get over obstacles, putting its output to the ground via a five-speed manual transmission and two-speed transfer case. Headlight washers keep the lights bright, and 31-inch BFGoodrich tires are ready to shed some mud.

If the next owner of this Land Cruiser exceeds its departure angle, the powder-coated Coastal Offroad rear bumper will take the brunt of the impact. They can quantify how hard their trek was by reading the altimeter and pitch and roll meters mounted above the Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo.

Like all Land Cruisers, this once-banned model doesn’t come cheap. The dealer is asking $44,980. Are you surprised when you pass dozens of Jeep Wranglers and Ford Broncos on the road? Priceless.
