.We have a few
My daily is a 1998 HDJ101 w/ 1HD-FTE. It's a JDM diesel 100-series Land Cruiser. It's awesome, RHD and that old 90s style soft cloth interior. I got lucky and found one with JP maintenance records going back about 10 years or so and even the POs insurance card! No rust, 145k km. Needs wheel bearings, control arms, and the intake cleaned (EGR mucks it up) but drives great.
My two less daily cars are a 1982 911SC Targa that recently had a respray done with some corrosion repair. It's got the original, unopened as best I can tell 3.0 engine and 915 gearbox. It drives great and is super fun, only real issues is the gearbox needs double clutched to downshift sometimes, think the syncros are going but that's par for the course with a 130k mile gearbox. I've replaced the fuse panel with updated modern fuse panels, it's also got new fuel lines, seats, and audio (not that you can hear it anyway). I bought it in NY and drove it home to NC.
My other is a 2001 996.1, this one I drive more often than the above. It has 56k original miles and was a CA/TX car before I got it to NC. I've since added Ohlins R&T coilovers and...replaced the engine with a Flat Six Innovations Stage II (bumps displacement from 3.4 to 3.8). It's a beast for a naturally aspirated 911 and it's in immaculate shape.
