I am putting a recently finished daily driver 1967 Land Cruiser Factory Soft Top restoration up for auction. I have driven it over 1000 miles with no issues since the frame-on restoration. I tried to use all OEM Toyota parts by using vintage part numbers. Some of the things I couldn't find OEM I used CCOT, Cruiser Corps, and Specter Offroad. I also want to mention Classic Cruisers in Colorado for their advice and help with parts.

I found it behind a Toyota mechanics business near DFW. His uncle bought it for a deer lease vehicle from the original owner in Austin in the early 80s. He took it to his deer lease and when I purchased it, it was only showing 29k miles on the cluster and hadnt been registered since '93. The way it runs and drives I wouldn't question low mileage but the speedometer stopped working many years ago so I figure it's close to 60k, as the new cluster shows. Very little rust before the restore, I only had to replaced the rear sil where mud was caked and left. All of the floor pans and rocker panels were in great shape before restore. My strategy was to give it a good sanding, priming, and matching the old paint, then go through it mechanically and source out parts I needed to replace. The wipers are not pictured, but I do have an original set with new blades for the cruiser. The paint is a perfect match to the factory Seminole Red that was one of just a few factory color choices from '65-67. The truck is super strong and mechanically sound--it's ready to go anywhere and I wouldn't hesitate driving it anywhere. I take pride in giving these classic Toyota 4x4s new life, and this one is my favorite so far. It really drives great down the highway around 60 mph and has lots of low end torque. Please feel free to ask me any questions about the rig, and good luck with bidding!
