Hemmings makes it’s Top 5 predictions for car collectors each year. Read #3 for this year.
#3 “The Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser will become the next Volkswagen 21-Window Samba bus. In the past three years, prices for restored Volkswagen buses have shot through the roof, with the rarest examples consistently realizing six-figure prices at auction. A similar phenomenon is beginning to happen with Toyota FJ40 Land Cruisers; once a rare sight at high-end auctions, their presence has become expected, and prices for well-preserved or meticulously restored examples have risen accordingly. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if an exceptional FJ40 topped $100,000 at auction in 2014.”
Ironically, a 1977 FJ40 crossed the block in Scottsdale 15 days after this prediction for $101,200 at RM Auctions in Scottsdale.
