The Blizzard was also sold in Australia - not just the Japanese domestic market. I bought one brand new from a Brisbane dealership in 1982. They were essentially the F50 Daihatsu body with full steel roof with gutters (Not a bolt on fibreglass roof as seen here). The name badges had the L & I very close together and is how mine got nicknamed the "Buzzard"....in fact a lot of people thought that is what they were actually called until they were shown that there was indeed a gap in the badge, and what looked like a U was actually an L and an I.
I love this museum must go here one day I current have 3 landcruisers 100 series , 79 series and a 200 series I love Toyota,s THE BEST 4wd vehicle ever built. How lucky Matt getting the privilege to go there.👍
Great video Matt! Thank you for giving us an info from the curator on unicorns. Px-10 is definitely and Unicorn. Also that botched 4dr predecesser for the 77.
Why don't we have anything like this in Australia. I always thought that the Toyota Land Cruiser history in Australia was more significant than from the USA ?
It started in America, sales and population in America kept it going. Australians were annoying enough and nowadays love to spend cash on the LC so the Japanese allow us to buy them. Prob best to keep it in America, it's a tribute to the Yanks for helping invent an awesome vehicle.
There was a land cruiser made just before the first ‘land cruiser ‘ that not many people know about that was sent to a Queensland Australia mines for testing around 8 of them with tin for body panels and Toyota told them to crush them but 3 where saved and I know of one that is still going not sure what happened to the other two
Matt I can't tell you how much I enjoyed your visit and I very much want to join you on a trail some day.
We’ll wheel together my friend
Wow what a place
I’ll be back
Id love to go there!
It’s worth it

Great video, I live in the states and never knew it existed 😳😳going to have to get in my 94 landcruiser and do a road trip there 👍
It's well worth it.
1:54sec I see a beige beauty.. very familiar 😁
My personal favorite in the collection.
Ok. Why is it familiar?
Based on his initials I suspect he's the guy that restored it.
Great video Matt! Thank you for giving us an info from the curator on unicorns. Px-10 is definitely and Unicorn. Also that botched 4dr predecesser for the 77.

We lack of people like Greg Miller .. and if we do we’d got the tall puppy syndrome

Steve Williams Very well said, also tribute to Mr Miller and staff for running LCHM.
Because we don’t have a greg millar. We do have a @mr landcruiser though
Were there any Bundys there? What about 105s? I believe the US market only got IFS 100s, including with 1FZs
Yes i think they had 3 Bundys and a 105.
Wish I still had my FJ40.
:)

Can you email the museum about that information please.
