Vehicle description
1985 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 with 5.7 liter/350 Chevy V8 TBI Bidders/offers with no history or less than 10 must call me prior to bidding I reserve the right to cancel your bid and probably will if you fail to do so. Please, please, please be serious do not bid if you don’t have cash. Thank you! History This FJ60 Land Cruiser spent it first 30 years in Southern California, 2 years in Arizona, and garage kept in Arkansas since then and has zero rust. Extensive resto mod to better than new condition. Over $40,000 before I bought it. This is one of the best driving FJ60’s you will ever see. I had no plans to sell this wonderful truck but have kids getting cars and am out of garage space. This FJ60 has been modified to a Chevy 5.7 liter/350 V8 TBI with an automatic 700R4 transmission but retains the original Toyota transfer case. This engine swap is California Air Resources Board Certified (CARB) Label #N5286757 dated 9/28/2000 and will pass emissions in all 50 states. Has California State Certification Sticker on inside driver door. The 5.7 liter V8 came from a 1994 Chevrolet truck with 70,000 miles. In early 1999 the original 4.2 liter 2F carburetor caught fire and burned the top end as well as the hood. The insurance company determined it a loss and paid the claim so the title is “salvage”. Let me be clear this truck has never been in an accident. This was a perfect situation for the owner to convert it to the more powerful 5.7 /350 V8 with throttle body injection and automatic transmission. Sadly, the conversion was only 80% completed and the truck was parked in 2002 in Palm Springs California. It was purchased in 2015 by restorer who completed much of the work. I bought it in 2017 and completed it to its current show worthy state. Work completed year 2015-2017 *New factory Dark Blue Metallic paint and body work performed by Hunter’z Body Shop in Mesa

Condition This FJ60 runs drives and stops absolutely awesome it’s like a new truck it even smells brand new inside. The power is strong and the transmission shifts smooth as silk. The factory FJ62 automatic shifter is also a great custom touch. There are NO rattles, squeaks or wind noise of any kind it really is very impressive to drive. The 4 wheel drive system engages smooth and operates perfect. It has never been wrecked and even has all the original factory Toyota glass including the windshield which is very rare. As you can see from the photos I did not repaint the under carriage, differentials or frame rails they are original everything was simply cleaned and wiped down. The original chrome rocker panel side trim "the snake blinders" are also intact and in very nice condition. Factory jack and tool kit are also included. It comes with the original Toyota owners manual, owners guide specific to California only and original signed Toyota Touch Personalized Pre-delivery service sheet from the dealer. To find a better JF60 I believe you would have to employ Jonathan Ward from ICON4x4 in Los Angeles to build you one at around $130,000 and at least a year’s time. I am not saying this is an ICON level truck but it’s the best FJ60 you get for the money and you can use it everyday. It was built to be enjoyed and look great doing it. I get glowing complements and thumbs up every time I drive it. Cool old schools looks with modern performance and drivability. The truck has been road tested for around 3000 miles after resto mod completion with no issues. It runs 80 miles an hour on the highway without effort. Arkansas title in my name with current emissions and registration. CarFax report verifies no structural damage and odometer check verifies 194,000 original miles. The truck is located in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Though the Gauge cluster has been replaced, I still have the original one. I have never taken it off road but 4WD was used in a couple of snow storms and was perfect. It lives in my garage as shown in pictures. I do have a cover, I also have a 5th wheel (no tire), I have a full dash replacement new in box but haven’t needed it so have been saving it. I did not have it detailed, this is how it looks with regular exterior wash and vacuum. It’s Beautiful. I have used it as a daily driver some and taken on one road trip (which it did perfectly), but have tried to save the miles. ALL glass is original, no scratches, dents visible anywhere, decals all perfect. See picture of garage floor (bone dry) after full day of driving it yesterday about 80 miles total. I am not a mechanic and do not do the work myself. All has been done by experts. Only current needs are minor. 1) the speaker cover on the right passenger door pops off some, the window handle on the rear passenger door pops off, and the headlights are only working in High Beam right now, no idea why but been like that since the gauge cluster was installed, just have had it repaired yet.
