Vintage Cruiser cars for sale
About these listings
Every Vintage Cruiser listed on MotorLoop.
Overview
Vintage Cruiser re-manufactures Toyota Land Cruisers. Its registered model list — LC79-R, LC78-R, LC40-R, LC44-R, LC45-R and LC47-R — tracks the Land Cruiser 40, 44, 45, 47, 78 and 79 series, with the R suffix marking the rebuilt car rather than a Toyota designation.
That mix spans two very different vehicles: the 40 series is the round-guard classic of the 1960s and 1970s, while the 78 and 79 are the modern troop carrier and cab-chassis utility still working today.
Buying one in Australia
This is one of the few makes on this page with real local relevance, because the 70-series Land Cruiser is a mainstream Australian vehicle and the 40-series has a deep following here. That cuts both ways: parts and expertise are easy to find, and so is a local original to compare against.
The question to settle is what has actually been replaced. A re-manufactured vehicle can involve a new or substantially rebuilt chassis, which changes its identity and its registration — establish whether it is registered as the original vehicle or as a modified or individually constructed one, and get the engineering paperwork that supports whichever it is.
