SOT: Tow Vehicles, Here's what I'm looking at today. Options

[McMark]

I'm kind of looking around for possible tow vehicles. I've been looking at new trucks since January, but I think the pricing just doesn't quite match with my financial situation. So now I'm looking at used options. It changes from day to day, but today I'm looking at two options:

1. Pre-Smog Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55

If I got one of these it would be a running project. This would be more along the lines of a "who cares what it looks like it's a truck" line of thinking. They're selling for $3k - $5k and are worth $10k or more when they're restored. Definite value there.

2. Early 90's Range Rover

I just today realized how cheaply these can be picked up. Luckily there is a Rover shop down the street from me, so I'll pick his brain tomorrow. These can be had for almost the same price $3.5k - $6k. Much more luxury and a nicer look, but parts are expensive and cars of this age tend to scare me that major things will start to go wrong as soon as I buy it. I'm not afraid of working on them, but if I buy something like this, I'm not looking for a project that I'm working on more than driving. Very very bad gas mileage. 13 MPG in town.


Any opinions on these two options? Any experiences?
