An incredible find and extremely rare and 1959 Toyota FJ-25 Original Land Cruiser For sale By Owner. This FJ-25 started it's life in the sunny islands of Hawaii. Non-US import vehicle most likely was ordered from Toyota prior to Hawaii Statehood. This particular rust-free FJ-25 retains virtually all of its original components, parts, F-engine, drive-train, and a slew of accessory rarities seldom seen today on any of the few surviving FJ-25s. Plus, the previous owners obviously had some respect for what they had, since there were no modifications or "garage" chops of any kind. Not to mention, the engine runs strong as ever and is a very reliable source of transportation. This FJ-25 had been nicely re-painted a dark burgundy color about 15 years ago. Not an original Land Cruiser color, however, well-suited for this particular truck. Some re-painting here and there, and a substantial amount of buffing eventually brought out its underlying potential luster. (I guess you could say this was also the original "Black Cherry FJ." ) The actual build date of this FJ is October 1958. The VIN number indicates that this particular FJ-25 was likely the 4th Land Cruiser that Toyota manufactured. First of all, some unique and very rare FJ-25 parts and accessories that somehow managed to survive this FJ’s 50+ year-old existence: Stock 115hp 1st generation Toyota "F" engine. Original Toyota single-barrel carburetor with fuel bowl level window. The original Km/H speedometer. (Not to worry; the Temp gauge defaults to "H" with the engine turned off.) Completely original transmission: Non-synchromesh 4-speed w/ 5.41:1 1st gear, and a sophisticated single range transfer case . . . . 4WD On / 4WD Off. Completely original chasis and undercarriage (axles, suspension, brakes, 4.11 R&P's, etc.) Original FJ-25 "elephant horns" and glass cup fuel filter. Original FJ-25 16” wheels and original FJ-25 "T" hubcaps. Totally unmolested and non-modified dashboard with original dash placards. Battery still mounted under the driver’s seat.Original fuse panel and electric relay covers. (incredibly therse were never lost)Orignal option for Side panel cab vent doors This FJ25 has K-Line cover and frame as pictured. Currently the only deficiency is the need to work on horn switch. New temperature gauge sensor was added to protect engine from overheating as H-L senors are notoriously unreliable. Please send me a message with any questions you may have. Have additional photos I can provide.
