Toyota Crown/ Cressida/ Landcruise­r 1964-2006

-

Big news in this category is the extraordin­ary money being sought (and paid) overseas for early Landcruise­rs and how the trend is filtering through to Australia. Forty thousand for a restored 40 Series is fair it seems for our market but the world record price for an FJ40 stands at US$137,500. Passenger models including the heavyweigh­t Crown and slightly less lugubrious Cressidas are moving upwards, with early 1970s Crowns hitting $10,000 and 1980s cars mostly below $5000. That money also buys a decent 2.8 or 3.0-litre Cressida. Later model, low-volume import Crowns with turbo-six or V8 engines cost around $15,000.
