Toyota celebrates 30th anniversary of Land Cruiser 70 w/ re-release

The anniversary model has been updated from the original slightly, helping it meet some of the rules and regulations that have appeared since it originally hit the market. The grille, hood and headlights have all been updated, anti-lock brakes are now standard, and there are airbags too. There's a 228-horsepower, 266-lb-ft 4.0-liter V-6 under the hood—also a more modern unit—but the gearbox is distinctly old-school, as it's a five-speed manual. Part-time four-wheel drive is standard, while locking diffs and a winch are optional.

Sadly, this one is Japanese-market only, and will only be on sale for one year. Toyota does expect to sell around 200 in this time however, for prices starting at 3.6 million yen (about $34,600). A pickup truck version is also available, slightly cheaper at 3.5 million yen ($33,700).

If you're stationed there in the military, possibly.

I would bet it cost more to ship than the sticker price.

I still don't understand why these are not available in the US?
Is it Toyota or is it the US preventing sales here?

It's not that easy. But I know of a handle of shops that regularly import classics from Japan . One of the bloggers over on Jalopnik bought a Skyline through this company LINK . I'm curious if anyone would ask them about the 70 series.
