null FJ55

I AM SELLING MY 1971 FJ55 ( Build Date 1 / 1971 ). VIN NUMBER: FJ5519787 / 2F ENGINE NUMBER: 2F668416. What your looking at is ALL ORIGINAL PAINT. NEVER PAINTED SINCE FACTORY. The Cruiser has ZERO CANCER 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. 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.

I am not sure when the PO upholstered the seats front and rear but they are in perfect condition. nbsp;Headliner in very nice condition with no rips. nbsp;Floor in front has been rhino lined. floor in back and cargo remain stock and in near perfect condition with no rust at all. This Land Cruiser was 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. It is the cleanest original paint I have ever seen on an FJ55. I have owned 4 of them.  ZERO 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 have never wanted to restore the exterior body because of its original paint. It has a BEAUTIFUL original patina. I have many other pictures that I can send to you. 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.  Mine has been well taken care of and has many years of life still in it. 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. I will be doing a COMPRESSION CHECK this next Wednesday to confirm the Engine condition but it does NOT leak. does NOT smoke. has plenty of power and a joy to drive. Will post Compression numbers when I get them. Thanks.

ATTENTION BIDDERS: Forgot to mention a Dash Pad needs to be put on. Also. I have secured the inner door weather stripping on all 4 doors as it is not in throw away shape but it's something that you might want to replace down line. Specter Off Road sells it for pretty cheap. Specter also has a dash pad.
