They have good style

One of the best looking 60s I've seen in a while. That front bumper looks very similar to the ARB style bull bar on the front of my Toyotas. Always wanted a 60 myself, for the same reasons Dave said it's really that in between model, still rugged, but with modern updates. Same reason I still want to add a 85 pickup to my collection. Last of the solid axle and first of the fuel injection.
