1978 FJ45- This Toyota truck has been owned by 1 family since it was imported into Costa Rica in 1978. I purchased it from the Grandson of the original purchaser. Though the truck had been handed down 2 generations, there were no transfers of ownership. (pesky transfer taxes!). The truck has been lovingly cared for & garaged for the last 35 years. It has lived high in the mountains of Costa Rica, and the condition of the truck reflects this. Here is the straight scoop, good & bad: GOOD- The motor & chassis are in great condition, as is the sheet metal, suspension, brakes and upholstery- The interior is all original, headliner, seats, and floor mat! The truck gets 25-30 mpg with the diesel!!! I shipped the truck to Miami and drove it to Savannah Georgia (500 miles!) last week without ANY problem whatsoever. It is in rock-solid mechanical condition. The steering & suspension are tight. BAD- The front bezel, hood scoops, & mirrors, are not original. Truck owners in CR are just like we are here in the states, and like to "customize" their rides to look a little different than the neighbors! ( I have the correct bezel from CCOT for the front.) The front doors could use new channels, felt, & rubber. The vent window frames are rusted at the bottoms a little... I have dozens of closeups of the entire vehicle, as well as several video clips.The pictures tell most of the story...
