Is the 2025 LC 70 ever coming to the US… and what’s the deal with Montana plates?

I saw this being sold in Japan and it looks amazing. I really like the old-school design. Do you think it might ever make its way to the US?

Why can’t California get it? Emissions?

Just register it with Montana LLC plates. Problem solved.

I’d pay double to have this in Texas.

The FJ Company in Florida can make a version that’s legal in the US, but it’ll cost you a bit.

‘A bit’ is an understatement. Think ‘a lot’ of money :rofl:

Checked out their site for the first time. Closed it real fast after seeing those prices. You don’t need that much for a full restoration in my opinion.

Maybe someone can figure out a cheaper way to build these. Sounds like a business idea.

You could import these legally and restore them for a fifth of the cost. Just my take.

FJ Company swaps a new LC70 onto an old chassis. Maybe someone could source new parts for less. ICON in California does similar work, I think.
