1969 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 - $2900 (Durango, CO)

My usual Craigslist scan turned this up.

1969 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 - $2900 (Durango, CO)

http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/2091243428.html

For Sale by Owner:

1969 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 2dr 4x4

Overall this Vehicle is in good - all original condition, no modifications.

!!! Definite Potential...!!!

It is still in need of mechanical restoration to improve its quality of driving. Vehicle has a clear title.

THE SKINNY:
starts and runs well - could use a fresh tune up
strong / original 6 cylinder 145 v6
3 speed manual on the column 4 wheel drive transmission + hydraulic clutch both in good shape
all 4 original rims - original hubcaps and beauty rings
rust spots – 2 rough spots otherwise surface rust for the most part no serious dents or body damage
rancho shocks
front and rear heater - functional
overhead storage rack (above windshield)
has a crack in the windshield
brakes need be re-bled - brakes require pumping to stop vehicle - Brake master cylinder leaks a little may need replaced
drivers seat is a little ratty - all other seats are in great shape
rear heater and full bench jump seats
no radio
The driver’s side window needs internal work - doesn't crank up or down.
vehicle does not have power steering
hatch back door - (handle needs repaired)
steering column turn signal switch has been broken off short - will still function with what is left intact
passenger front turn fender signal and cover needs replaced (still functional as is)
and a little overall TLC and mechanical creativity to bring her back to glory - needs new belts and hoses ect.

Asking $2900
Additional photo's are available via email upon phone request
please call (970) 779-0252 or (309) 621-1717 to make it yours today!

really clean looking, wonder when it build date is, early 85 or late 85? Looks sort of weird with the small tires and such.

Looks like a repaint for sure with the rear mud flaps gone, no snake blinders, and obvious undercoat in the wheel wells. White's the easiest color to hide body filler with too. There would be at least a few rock chips in that paint if it was original.

I agree that the the door shot shows a sheen that looks like a repaint. Also, it's just unlikely that it is *that* clean after all these years.

is that the one that our flipper friend in Bailey or wherever sold last year? Bought it for cheap, gave it a $100 detail, and sold for $5k more than he bought it for??

It's the chrome strip on the rockers under the doors.

Tail light lenses are also cloudy and glazed looking. In my experience, the paint would be in similar shape over time. I can't explain exactly why this is, but it is usually true. Looks like it has been repainted, but still a beautiful truck nonetheless.
