One word pops into mind upon seeing the truck above: “Gimme.”
And though it’s $87,000 price tag is a bit hard to swallow, if one had the cash, one could imagine quickly rationalizing parting with said figure for a truck this well restored. Just look at that interior. A beautiful lack of plastic.
Listed on eBay by The FJ Company, this 1974 Toyota FJ45 Land Cruiser has been fully restored and is period-correct down to the mirrors, carburetor and the rare two-piece steel wheels.
FJC says the truck, powered by a 3.9-liter F engine, starts immediately, runs as new and its four-speed manual transmission “shifts smoothly and precisely.” It’s painted Sky Blue and has full-time 4WD.
Below are some of the improvements FJC performed on the truck:
- New suspension
- New gas tank
- New spare tire, two-piece wheel, and support assembly
- New radiator
- Rebuilt all four drum brakes
- Reassembled choke mechanism
- New starter
- New spark plug wiring (not shown)
- New exhaust manifold gaskets
- New rear differential seals
- New oils throughout
- Added reproduction tool box and owners manual
- Added reproduction floor mat
