The ever so sought after Land Cruiser began back in 1951 with just 90 units being produced and as of 2014 with continuous production, the newest Land Cruiser the J200 is available in every market except Canada, North Korea and South Korea.
Known for their reliability Toyota extensively tests the land Cruiser in the Australian outback, which is considered to be one of the toughest operating environments in both temperature and terrain.
This iconic FJ-40 was purchased in Moscow Idaho in July of 1976 and remained in the same ownership for the next 28 years. The second owner did a frame-off restoration, including sanding and repainting the body and frame. A paint color of Black Jade Metallic was sprayed at that time which still shows very good. At that time a new leather interior was added, BDS lift kit, Safari roof rack, polished aluminum wheels (originals wheels included in sale with tires).
After the restoration which took close to two years it remained in the private collection in Bozeman MT, until the 3rd owner purchased the Cruiser while on vacation in 2004. After the purchase he drove it 1500 flawless miles back to his home in Northern MI where it remained until 2013. Although the odometer shows 38,000 miles it is believed to have 55,000 original miles. It stopped working back in 2006 or so and was replaced sometime there after.
The fourth owner has enjoyed driving the vehicle around town during the summer but kids in college force the sale.
What sets this vehicle apart is the attention to detail, the excellent rust-free body and the mechanical condition of this fantastic iconic Cruiser. Everything but the original am/fm radio which is missing, is in excellent working condition down to the front mounted PTO winch.
Still retaining its original wonderfully running 258 6-cyl, you can feel confident about adding this to your collection or use as a daily driver.
