Even easily , they ’re currently for sales event for less than $ 10,000 .

1977 Jeep Wagoneer

Price:$6,900The Wagoneer ’s ego - evident classic - ness is n’t the most unique affair here , nor is the 350cid Chevy V8 under the cap that provides more than enough torque to get yourself out of whatever ditch you ’ll invariably find yourself in . Instead , it ’s the original Wood . No , not thepoplar stripe on the side . Wood , as inRutledge Wood , whom the seller claim was the previous proprietor .

1973 Volkswagen Thing

Price:$6,000The matter has one of the all - time bad names any fomite has ever been given … or the best , depending on your personal worldview . Regardless , the descendent of one of Germany ’s WWII - epoch military vehicle is the closest thing you could get to a marginal - bone European Jeep without pass union of money much more freaky than the Thing ’s name .

1984 Nissan Patrol

Price:$9,500The most amazing matter about this Nissan Patrol is that … it ’s aNissan Patrol . As a non - US - market place SUV , it was the chief rival of the Toyota Land Cruiser . This particular one survive most of its life in South Africa before being brought to America for a moderately thorough restitution . It ’s not only capable , but you ’re pretty much guaranteed to never see another on the street .

1970 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40

Price:$8,750Forgive the photo on this one – when you find an FJ40 that ’s in driving condition for less than $ 10,000 , you do n’t get fussy with photos . Besides , the patina on this bad boy is just about pure for weekend cruising , and you do n’t have to worry if you kick a few sway up onto the key .

1971 Volkswagen Baja Bug

Price:$7,000The Baja Bug is rather the Beetle that everyone wanted as a kid , is n’t it ? Everything about it screams carefree merriment , and its reliability is legendary – or , at least its ability to be fix with ludicrous ease no matter where on Earth you are .
