If you're a fan of classic cars, you need to check out Hagerty's YouTube channel. From classic car reviews to car restoration series, Hagerty has something for everyone. Their latest video takes us to Bogota, Colombia, to the FJ Company, where they build some of the most expensive and best Toyota Land Cruisers in the world.
The FJ Company takes two vehicles and merges them together to create a brand new 2023 GRJ70 merged with a 1973 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser. Everything that makes the vehicle run is from the brand new 2023 GRJ70 series Land Cruiser, while the only parts used from the original FJ40 are a little bit of the body and the frame, which is fully rebuilt.
The process of getting the body ready for paint takes about four months of dedicated hard work by the metal Artisans. Prior to being sent to paint, the body is modified to fit updated electronics and features. The FJ Company vehicles are made to last another couple lifetimes, and with Hagerty's valuation tools, collector car insights, vintage car stories, classic car buyer's guides, historic car documentaries, barn find hunter series, automotive history lessons, car auction insights, vintage motorcycle reviews, classic car maintenance, collector car market trends, iconic car reviews, and automotive heritage stories, you can find out just how much your classic car is worth.
