This '79 CJ-5 got the full restoration treatment—rebuilt 304 V8 mated to a three-speed manual, Rough Country suspension, period-correct wheels. It's the kind of restomod that respects what made these things work in the first place, not some overstyled influencer build masquerading as authenticity.

A California-registered FZJ80 with a modest refresh—Dobinsons lift, refreshed serpentine belt and starter work—just passed through Bring a Trailer. Nothing exotic, nothing rare, but the fact that a 29-year-old Land Cruiser with routine maintenance is auction-worthy tells you everything about where values sit right now. These things stopped depreciating five years ago.

The Pinzgauer 710M is a legitimate piece of Austrian engineering that actually works—four-wheel drive, portal axles, and a reputation for going places most vehicles won't. At $25K, you're paying for undeniable capability and the kind of obscurity that appeals to builders who don't want what everyone else owns. The real question isn't whether it's worth the money—it's whether you'll actually use it.
