THE RESERVE PRICE REFLECTS THIS WORK THAT HAS TO BE DONE SO PLEASE BE ASSURED THAT THE RESERVE IS SET BASED ON THE CURRENT VALUE OF THE CRUISER.

ANY BIDDER THAT WIN'S AND WANTS ME TO FINISH THE CRUISER THAN I CAN DO THAT FOR THEM. I AM JUST NOT ABLE TO SPEND ANYMORE ON HER AT THIS TIME. ^ Many details have been attended to on this cruiser including a beautiful interior restore with only minor details left to do. Please ASK QUESTIONS and I will answer each one and place your answer on this site below so that everyone can see and review the answer. The QUESTION-ANSWER SECTION is below the pictures at the bottom. ^ For anyone local there is a warranty on numerous items just addressed but to many to list. Please ask if your a local bidder. ^ I will allow anyone to review the cruiser with or without their MOBILE mechanic if they wish. FULL DISCLOSURE is what I am trying to achieve here so again, please feel free to ask any questions BEFORE you bid. ^ Also, I do reserve the right to sell this cruiser locally during this auction. Good luck bidding and thanks for the interest. ^ I think these pictures below will give you a glimpse into how nice this Land Cruiser is. If I can think of anything else I will post an additional note so please keep watch. This Land Cruiser, as far as I know, never saw much dirt. It was aquired in the Sherman Oaks, Beverly Hills area of California and I am at least the 3rd owner since 1964. I am not sure when the 1975 2F L.C. ENGINE was put in but is in great condition. Ez Start. Great idle. Great compression. Thanks. On Mar-02-11 at 23:58:43 PST, seller added the following information: UPDATE MARCH 3rd: I have decided to continue with a bit more of the restore on the cruiser. We will be purchasing and installing a Front Door Weather Stripping Kit from Specter this week which includes Felt, Rubber Weatherstripping, Window Channels ( for both doors ), adjust both Door Strikers, Adjust all Door Hinges or replace if need be, adjust both Front Door Regulators or Replace if need be, Add a new Headliner from Specter Off Road, Purchase Touch Up Paint and apply in a few area's, Paint the interior back Cargo Area with Black Protective and perhaps do a coating of Black Protective on the Under Carriage. Will also be re-painting all of the interior Door and Window Regulators a deeper more Original GREY over the next 2 or 3 days. As mentioned, the cruiser is not 100% restored yet and is an ONGOING ON-FRAME restore that myself and the PO both have had a hand in. I am trying to not only finish up area's that I can afford to finish up but also will re-do things that the PO did to give the cruiser a more Original look. Thanks and any questions please email them and I will answer and post for everyone to see. Hope this info is helpful and happy bidding. On Mar-03-11 at 17:11:36 PST, seller added the following information: UPDATE MARCH 3RD: I am listing EVERYTHING below that has been DONE to this cruiser and every highlight regarding the cruiser, things that I think make the cruiser especially worth reviewing. Hope this helps: NO RUST ( PO painted the vehicle and no rust found down to bare metal ) / 1975 Toyota Landcruiser 2F engine ( cruiser is a 1964 ) with GREAT COMPRESSION NUMBERS 140 ( sorry, the 145 above was supposed to read 140 ), 135, 130, 135, 135, 135.

She is a beautiful Cruiser. I am listing everything that is needed if you win the bidding: Cruiser needs a Heater / Rubber Boot that connects close to foot pedals / New rubber around windshield / oil, temp and fuel senders need to be fixed ( Speedo and Odom both work accurately ) / new inside light needed / 4 x 4 metal plate on glove compartment is on order from Specter but needs to be changed / Jumpers in the back cargo area need to be covered ( they were in restored condition but have shown signs of pre-mature wear due to being folded up for long periods ). I think this is about it but will post anything else if need be. I have spoken to the owner of Box and Gear Transmission in Van Nuys and though they do not have a receipt readily available for review from PO they did say that winning bidder could contact them to confirm Tranny Rebuild. I do have receipts from other work they did to the cruiser from the PO. Again, the key elements in my opinion are the combination of A SOLID 1964 STEEL BODY WITH NO RUST / AN UPGRADED 1975 2F ENGINE WITH GREAT COMPRESSION AND JUST SERVICED w/no smog needed in California / AN EXTREMELY RARE FACTORY PTO WINCH IN PERFECT RUNNING CONDITION and multiple restored parts with receipts in the thousands of $$$ which will be sent along to the winning bidder. Any questions, please email over and I will post for everyone to review. Thanks and hope this info has been helpful AND PLEASE review the Question Answer section from time to time as I may post answers to other questions over the next few days. Happy Bidding. On Mar-06-11 at 16:40:13 PST, seller added the following information: UPDATE SUNDAY MARCH 6TH: I have completed today the following: Painted complete Under Carriage Rust Proof Black.

Tomorrow the cruiser will have all new Window Regulators installed, new Weather Stripping in both front doors, New Open / Close Regulators on both front doors, New Felt and Window Channels on Both front Doors and New Headliner installed. As you all know the Reserve can NOT be increased. I have opted to do this work so as to decrease the amount of work the winning bidder will have to do. PLEASE READ BELOW QUESTION ANSWER as I have outlined what final things would need to be done. Not very much and the price will reflect that work left to do. This cruiser is in beautiful condition. Hope this above info is helpful. Any questions, please ask. Keep in mind that if the winning bidder wants me to finish up the work on the cruiser then I will be more than happy to do that. It will also, I am quite sure, save you money by doing that but again, when you read below you will see that not very much has to be done. That is why it is advertised as 98% completed. Happy bidding. I am sure that anyone getting this cruiser will be very satisfied. It is very well balanced. Thanks. On Mar-09-11 at 10:19:44 PST, seller added the following information: UPDATE ON CRUISER RESTORATION MARCH 9TH: We are DONE!!
