“History
1967 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ-45, Long wheel base with removable hard top.
A original California Land-cruiser that was extensively restored in 1992 by the previous owner.
The previous owner bought it in Sacramento in 1984, spent a year getting it ready for a big trip through Baja, which lasted 7 months. He took it back again in the summer of 1988 for 4 months.
In 1992 he and a fellow certified mechanic took the body apart, sandblasted, undercoated, re-sprayed; replaced all the rubber, seals etc. Installed a new wiring harness. Took the transfer case and transmission completely apart and rebuilt it all. They installed a crate Chevy 350, replaced the radiator with a triple core, rebuilt the hubs, installed a new motor in the heater fan. He also rebuilt the vacuum advance for the transfer case and replaced the instrument cluster.”
I would prefer the stock motor and something a little closer than Alaska. But the pickup is sweet.
On eBay in Anchorage, Alaska with a reserve.

- CD player inside glove compartment and weather proof speakers in kick panel area.
- Installed some parts of a PTO winch on the front bumper. I do have the PTO gear box and the long PTO shaft, Spud shaft and levers I do not have.

- I have the original receipts from the restoration in 1990 in a large 3-ring binder included in sale, I also have correspondence from the previous owner printed out as well.
- The condition of the entire body including floorboards is great with no rust through whatsoever. All metal panels are original steel. It does need some light bodywork and paint, new weatherstripping on the doors and windows to become pristine again. I have only needed to change fluids and oil changes since I have owned it. I would like this to go to someone that will take the time and effort to keep this on the road for many years to come.
Optional Extras
