Toyota: Land Cruiser FJ55 SUV WAGON

Note: I HAVE NO AFFILIATION WITH THESE LISTINGS. I am not looking for a 55 – I have 2 already. I am doing some unscientific research about just how “rare” these pigs are, how often they come to market and what they are selling for. I am posting the listings for other members’ general interest, in this part of the forum. I am not posting the parts pigs that I find. I will post my conclusions in the FJ55 Iron Pig Preservation Society forum after I have been at this for long enough to have some.

What? No floor mat for my $32K? Ford V8? I've often pondered this but quickly dismiss it as it just has never seemed a good match. Same with Mopar V8's - too much in common with a Jeep. Chevy has for some reason or another been the real only alternative to Toyota power in a Cruiser. I can see if someone went that route to break away from the norm, but it in no way increases the pig's value 3 fold. And what's with the steps screwed to the sheet metal? Are those troopy seats someone found and thought would be a great upgrade? Run of the mill white-spoke wagon wheels?
What am I missing here that says this rig is worth $32,000, and not $12,000 at the very most?

Saw this article this morning and had to share. This is a 40 of course, and at an auction. I have heard of Cruisers knocking on the 100k mark at auctions in the past, but this is the first one I've seen go beyond.

Fold down jump seats in the rear, interesting...

I like those rear seats.

Were they available in other markets for the 55?
