" RUNS PERFECT ",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I AM SELLING MY 1971 FJ55 ( Build Date 1 / 1971 ), VIN NUMBER: FJ5519787 / 2F ENGINE NUMBER: 2F668416. What your looking at is an FJ55 with PERFECT COMPRESSION on its 2F Engine. Compression numbers: # 1= 160 psi / # 2= 160 psi / # 3= 160 psi / # 4= 155 psi / # 5= 160 psi / # 6= 160 psi. An extremely healthy engine and never rebuilt, ORIGINAL PAINT EXCEPT FOR A FEW AREA'S THAT WERE TOUCHED UP OVER THE YEARS, OTHERWISE NEVER PAINTED SINCE FACTORY. The Cruiser has ZERO CANCER AND HAS NEVER HAD CANCER RUST and only light surface rust in some areas. The roof gutters were lined with protective coating years ago by PO and show NO signs of cancer rust at all. The UNDERCARRIAGE is also Rust Free. The quick story is that this FJ55 lived in Palm Springs almost its entire life until brought over to San Diego area in 2011. The Original owner's daughter blew up the F engine sometime in the late 70's, early 80's. It then sat in the owners garage for approx. 29 years. It was then sold to a friend of mine in Palm Springs. He found a 2F ENGINE but did NOT put it in. He then sold it to a guy in San Diego who put the engine in but never hooked it up. I then bought it and my mechanic who was with Toyota for 18 years got the Engine running. I then kept it and drove it but in March 2014 decided to sell it to a friend in Austin, Texas. He bought two pigs from my collection and now has decided he wants an FJ40, hence the sale of this original pig. I am assisting him with the sale from here in California but the cruiser can be seen at his ranch in Austin. That is also where the cruiser will be shipped out from. We have done the following to the cruiser:>>>>> Hooked up 2F engine, Removed and cleaned out and replaced fuel line to fuel tank, Rewired Alternator, Bled hydraulic Clutch, New wheel cylinders, Brake shoes, Exhaust pipe, Igniter, Coil, Belt, Wiper blades, Pedal pad kit, Choke cable, Gas pedal and assembly, Battery hold down, Sand blast and restore stock steel wheels, New BF Goodrich 33 x 10.50 x 15 All Terrain T/A x 4 , Oil Filter, Fuel Filter, Primer Pump, Ignition wires, Oil plug gasket, Distributor Cap, Rotor, Plugs, Thermo gasket, 4 speed knob, 4 wd knob, OPTIMA battery, Battery cables, Install 4 speed Transmission / Transfer Case, Mount heater, heater hoses, Rebuild Starter, R&R Valve Cover, Replace Valve Cover Gasket, Replace Water Pump studs, Install Radiator Fan, Pully, Alternator, Belt and other details, Fabricate and weld in Motor Mounts, R&R Radiator, Reseal Top of Transmission, New flanges and seals, New drive shafts, 2F Engine flush, Oil Change, Drain plug gasket, New hose clamps, Replace all Radiator Hoses, Coolent, Sand Blast and machine Brake Drums, Brake Fluid, New fuel line, New wiring, Front and Rear Pinion Seal and flange, R&R Brakes front and rear, Install Clutch, Clutch Slave, R&R Cargo electric window, Replace Oil Pan Gasket, Freeze plug, Glove compartment, Repair brake lights, blinker switch, back lights, Replace heater core, Hook up Temp gauge, Fuel gauge, replaced mini dash pad, added dash pad cover from SOR, did touch up paint in a few area's per current owners request. I am not sure when the PO upholstered the seats front and rear but they are in beautiful condition, Headliner in very nice condition with no rips, Floor in front has been rhino lined and new carpet was just put in, floor in back has also been newly carpeted, cargo floor remains stock and in near perfect condition with no rust at all. This Land Cruiser has been kept inside and also in a very dry environment its whole life. As mentioned, it stayed put for about 30 years from what we understand. I have owned / dealt with about 6 FJ55 Land Cruisers and the original paint on this one would be tied for first as nicest condition. ZERO CANCER RUST on this cruiser. The Cruiser can be either driven on a daily basis and enjoyed in its original form until you decide to restore it or just improve on it over the years. I, nor the current owner have never wanted to restore the exterior body because of its original paint. It has a BEAUTIFUL original patina. Please ask questions and I will post them for others to see as well. The addition of the 2F Land Cruiser Engine has given the cruiser a much added boost in power and still wonderful torque. The FJ55 is known for its ruggedness. This one has been well taken care of and has many years of life still in it. Nothing needs to be done at this point. It has either been garaged or covered its entire life. Ready for the mountains. Good luck bidding and let me know if you need more pics. I know there are things I have forgotten to mention but please just ask questions if you have them. I have set the reserve fairly in my opinion based on the rarity and condition of the cruiser. Thanks. ATTENTION BIDDERS: Also included is THE INNER DOOR FRAME WEATHER STRIPPING X 4 . We KEPT THE ORIGINAL IN THERE BECAUSE IT IS IN FINE CONDITION BUT THE NEW STRIPPING WILL ALSO BE INCLUDED IN THE SALE AND SHIPPED WITH THE CRUISER. IT WAS PURCHASED FROM SPECTOR OFF ROAD. ALSO, THE PIG HAS BEEN REGISTERED AND INSPECTED IN TEXAS AND GOOD FOR THE REMAINING OF THE YEAR. NO ISSUES. THANKS AND HOPE THIS INFO IS HELPFUL. ONE OTHER THING. SOMEONE ASKED ABOUT THE HEADLINER. THERE ARE "NO'' RIPS AT ALL IN THE HEADLINER AND IT IS THE ORIGINAL HEADLINER and in very good condition. thanks. PLEASE NOTE!!!!!!! THERE IS NEW CARPET IN THE BACK SEAT FLOOR AREA. ONE OF THE PICS SHOWS THE ORIGINAL FLOORING JUST SO I COULD SHOW HOW GOOD THE CONDITION IS. THANKS.

It does not show in the pictures attached but an original badge is on there now. They are hard to find but we were lucky enough to find one in very good original condition. A detail that might be of concern to some. Globalvu3nn3. On Sep-12-14 at 15:51:44 PDT, seller added the following information: Hello again bidders: The seller mentioned that he wanted to make sure the bidders understand that there IS some surface rust on parts on the Land Cruiser INCLUDING the roof top and roof line. There is NO CANCER rust on the cruiser but as many of you know the roof line of an FJ55 has to be constantly watched over as that area is most prone to surface rust. That area along a few parts of the roof line was touched up but will still need to be lightly sanded, primer with a small paint brush, then touched up with the touch up paint that will come with the cruiser in order to always keep it safe from any further rusting ESPECIALLY if the cruiser is going to a HUMID environment. When I had the cruiser out here in dry inland southern California there was not really an issue. Humid conditions? Gotta keep up with the pigs roof line if you want to maintain an original Land Cruiser. Hope this info is helpful.
