Well always have liked the 4 square headlights of the 62 vs the round of the 60. 
 

don't like that the 62 usdm is AT only. Will be doing a H55 5 speed swap 

Xmas present to myself - yup 3rd  land cruiser purchase of the year 

owner has it 7 years. Original Los Angeles car. 0 rust. 
got a great deal I feel like. 
 

drove 3 hours to see it. Bought it. Owner will deliver this weekend after he emission tests it 

 

rare two tone oem . Paint faded. 
 

5 speed manual swap and paint is what it needs. 
 

cant wait to live with EFI since all other LC are carb in the fleet

If someone didn't know that "LC" was used to abbreviate "Land Cruiser" and the 62 and 60 refer to FJ-62 and FJ-60's then they would have no idea what this thread was about until the first picture in the second post.

Delivery done! 
 

wife and kids commented "62 drives so much nicer and smoother than the other 60s. It almost drives like our FJCRUISER" 

it drove very very nice. Going to paint shop next week

Great looking LC. Please get rid of that antenna and try to find the original one.

Yeah Oem two tone is rare and special order only on the 62. This being an 89, it was available. 
 

interestingly my neighbor has a literal twin. He won't sell - I ask. But I still take him x mas presents yearly - so he one day does devil

 

To answer your question, If I could afford it, yes. But I can't smiley

 

there is a guy on bat that spent $250,000 last 12 months buying 60/62 only on that site

Another one?! Lucky you. And you're doing the manual swap for the best of both worlds!
