Thanks!! I appreciate the digging and the H.I. (Human Intelligence) from the forum. This helps solve a puzzle that’s been bugging me for years. Very glad to know that I have an incredible HJ60 high roof with both an impeccable’83 frame & ‘89 body. Love it even more knowing more about its history...

Curious, why would you say that?

Has rear hatch, & 3rd row fold up seats, split bench middle seat

Documentation & orig vehicle license plate show provenance from Canary Islands Spain. Additional Claude AI; The Canary Islands are a Spanish territory off the African coast — a market that received special spec vehicles not sold in mainland Europe or North America. - European spec glass...

Yes, does have the high roof

Ok thanks, so additional info I’ve learned is that with low production qtys, it was common for Toyota to use an earlier frame on a later production build. Per Claude AI: This confirms your earlier assessment — the frame is likely a 1983-1984 build, while the body/interior tag confirms 1989...

The seatbelt tag says 1989, so does that help validate it’s a 1989 model year?

Yes everything appears original. I’m the second owner in the US. Previous party stated it was an ‘88 although title says ‘83, he thought it was maybe a typo when it was imported from Spain. Didn’t bug me until now & I’d like to get it corrected

Thanks for the digging, but with the dual headlights, curved dash, interior fabric, 1983 doesn’t seem right

Can anyone help decode the production date/model year from HJ60LG-MZW and color code 033FB41K055H55F? VIN JT1W0HJ6000956466 Thanks, current title says 1983, but must be wrong. Unfortunately Toyota Japan & Toyota Europe have not provided responses.
