Vehicle Detail
1965 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Pickup. This FJ45 has spent the bulk of its life in Arizona with the last 12 years in a dry, low humidity part of Washington State. I bought this truck because it didn't have any rust in it which is unheard of in these rigs. I then commenced a complete six month frame off restoration. The engine and transmission are not original to this truck. The anemic F1 engine has been replaced by an F2 engine with 20,000 original miles. The 3 speed has been replaced with a later 4 speed transmission. Power steering was installed to aid in the comfort of driving while at low speeds and in tight surroundings. The truck is repainted in its original color, Horizon Blue. The paint is show quality. The pickup bed has been sprayed with Horizon Blue bed liner. 20 miles on restoration. This is the convertible version of the FJ45 pickup. The top and doors are easily removed and the windshield can be laid down flat on the hood. The winch is early Japanese made and appears to be original to the truck. I have not undercoated the FJ deciding to leave it natural because of its high quality condition. The engine has not been detailed, which I will leave to you. If you are a perfectionist, you may want to replace the original tailgate, which is not perfect. The restoration was performed by a team of professionals that I have used at least a dozen times over the last 15 years. They are chosen for the quality of their work, not for the fees they charge. Excellence is the goal. This truck starts, runs and drives very well. Everything works, except for the horn, which I have elected to not hook up. Everything on this truck has been inspected and refurbished, if necessary, always striving to use original parts when available. We've done our best to maintain the originality of this truck. It is a stunning nut and bolt, no expense spared restoration that will last for another 50 years! Please feel free to call with any questions. Office phone is 360-867-1410. NO RESERVE! No place to store. Top bid takes it home.
