The Toyota Probox is usually treated as a practical work wagon, but a reported conversion from Niigata-based Goosfam gives it a very different personality. The Toyota Probox RetroPro kit is described as a front-end makeover inspired by the classic Land Cruiser 60 Series, with square-headlight styling replacing the standard car’s plain nose.
Because the available source material does not independently verify the tuner listing, the key details are best read as reported figures rather than confirmed factory information. The kit is listed from ¥660,000, or about $4,100, before paint and installation. Complete vehicles are described as starting from ¥2,980,000, or about $18,600, for the LifeStyle Retro trim and ¥3,145,000, or about $20,000, for the Urban Classic trim.
What The RetroPro Conversion Changes
The RetroPro is described as a cosmetic conversion rather than a mechanical overhaul. Its main change is the front end, which is said to adopt a boxier shape with square headlights, a simple grille, orange front indicators, a custom bumper, a flatter hood, and redesigned front fenders.
The rest of the Probox body reportedly stays close to the donor wagon, which is part of the appeal. The contrast is what makes the conversion work: a compact, utilitarian Toyota wagon wearing a face that nods to one of Toyota’s most recognizable off-road shapes.
Goosfam’s two reported versions take slightly different approaches to the same idea. Urban Classic is described as the shinier version, using more chrome-style detailing. LifeStyle Retro is described as the more subdued trim, replacing that brightwork with black accents.
Colors, Wheels, And Powertrain Details
The source material says Goosfam also uses vintage-style colors such as beige, brown, and light blue, tying the conversion more closely to older Land Cruiser paint themes. The cars are also described with Goosfam five-spoke alloy wheels in black, paired with all-terrain tires.
The tuner is said to be planning additional accessories for the RetroPro kit, though the source does not provide a confirmed list of those parts. That leaves the conversion focused, for now, on its visual package rather than a broader catalog of off-road equipment.
No engine changes are described. The Probox is reported to retain its standard 1.5-liter four-cylinder setup or available self-charging hybrid powertrain, depending on the donor vehicle. The wagon is also described as being available with optional 4WD, a detail that makes sense for buyers interested in the Land Cruiser-inspired look, even if this remains a styling conversion rather than a true off-road rebuild.
Pricing And Availability
The reported pricing puts the RetroPro in an unusual position. As a kit, it is far cheaper than buying a classic Land Cruiser, though paint, installation, donor-car condition, and local availability would all affect the real cost. As a complete vehicle, the listed prices place it closer to a ready-made niche build for buyers in Japan who want something distinctive without starting a project from scratch.
Sales are described as beginning July 1 through Sano Auto dealers in Japan, though the source does not provide enough verified timing context to frame that as a current launch. The same source also notes that RetroPro is not the only Probox conversion chasing Toyota’s heritage look, pointing to Hakobanya’s reported 70 Box conversion inspired by the Land Cruiser 70 Series.
For Probox fans, the appeal is straightforward: the wagon keeps its simple, practical shape while borrowing just enough old Land Cruiser character to look far less anonymous.
