Icon FJ-44, Legendary Toyota Reinvented

Are you the type of gentleman who’s never been able to find the right sort of vehicle to take the whole family to shoot rhinos and lions on an African safari. Back when you were young, you had that awesome Toyota FJ, but that could never take the whole family, and anyways they’ve all rusted away.
Well now there’s a solution, Icon Motors has a solution, provided you’ve got the $160,000 in the back. They will take an old wreck of an FJ from the 60’s and make it into a brand new penny. This car their own FJ-44 body, built as a four-door from brand new aluminum panels.

The project comes with the blessing of Toyota themselves and is rustproof, scratchproof and thanks to Corvette V8 crate engine quite fun to drive.

Icon Motors founder Jonathan More stopped by Jay Leno’s Garage to show this amazing but very pricy machine.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
