some other nice cruisers there btw 70's 80's 60's they have it all

That's great! Apparently, it's a 1998 73 series that has been retro'd to look like a 40 series. The rear half is a 73 series with rounded corners and different windows.

Toyota never made these at all
The creator of them made a small number and labeled them PX10 or something.

I always loved the px10. I love the front end. The rear not so much but it's ok. The front with the bib and 40 turn signals is a great look on the 70.

Looks like a 70 series to me. All 73/74 have a FRP top (unless it was a soft top) and 10 inches beteen door and rear wheel arch.

I think I read somewhere they made less than 10. Not all are identical.

 

[hoser]

The wheelbase is better seen here.

 

[Spddude]

I think they only made a hand full 10 or maybe 100, it was a concept before, and what the 70 series was base on.

 

[Spddude]

OK wait I read some where else on the net that were 200 made and they where made in '98 and had hzj73 drive train.

Them non slider windows and all red sides make an optical illusion

the red difference between the front clip and rear i think is odd as seen in the first post

I have taken pictures of cars where the color looks completely uniform to the naked eye but with the camera, different panels appear to have different shades. Maybe the camera picks up the slight differences in reflectivity.

I really like the PX10 it should have been the NEW FJ CRUISER

They all do that except the white 70 cruisers. The metalflake paint is even more contrasting from angles.
I think it is the straight panels on the fenders and doors that reflect light different to a fully curved vehicle.

Many times I have looked at my 73 series from the front door and thought it had badly matched paint after some panel work, but up close its all the same.

this is what the FJLooser SHOULD have looked like...Toyota dropped the ball on that one...

i should make a fiberglass kit for the 73s, i like the looks of the PX10
