Here is the brief story behind this Cruiser. I have owned 25 Land Cruisers since the early 1970's. I restore some of them and have a wonderful collection of rare vehicles. A contact of mine asked if I would assist him in checking out this attached FJ55. I did assist and as a result he bought it. The cruiser was a California Cruiser its whole life and owned by just one family.  It was this buyers intent to restore the pig. He decided after buying it that it was too original to restore. He also decided that it was not what he wanted to keep long term. At that point I had a friend / client in the Philippines who was looking for one to purchase. This client wanted an " all original " only. He ended up. through my introduction. buying the pig. It was shipped to my home here in Temecula as I was to hold on to it until all of the paperwork was done for transport to the Philippines. Well. the paperwork was denied and the Land Cruiser was not allowed to be shipped overseas. The current owner from the Philippines has asked me to sell it for him. As mentioned. this FJ55 is garaged here in Temecula. California. I have taken recent pictures of it as seen in this Ebay ad. It is quite an amazing FJ55. Finding originals in this condition is extremely rare. Toyota did not import many of them. This one also is a 1975. the first year Toyota put in the more robust 2F engine. We did a compression check last week and adjusted the valves. It runs perfect and compression is perfect as numbers indicate above.  This engine. because it was so well taken care of. will last a very long time in our opinion. I have owned 4 pigs. This one is the most original and complete that I have ever seen.  As many of you know. finding body parts for the old FJ55 Land Cruisers can be very difficult. This one has all of the original parts. It is a 4 speed. floor shift. As many of you also know. the pigs can be prone to heavy cancer rust. especially along the roof line. This one has no Cancer rust.  I have the reserve set for the owner at a reasonable price based on the Land Cruisers rarity and condition. As a restorer and owner of many Land Cruisers I can tell you that finding an original in this condition is EXTREMELY RARE.  The owner is not going to give it away but he feels the reserve is set fairly. I have taken many detailed pictures. I can also take more of certain area's if you email with that request. Please also email any questions and I will post them for others to see. I am hoping to find a good home for this rare bird. The cruiser can be used with confidence as a daily driver. can be taken on any extended trip and is perfect for car shows. It gets a lot of attention because of its condition are rarity.  Good luck bidding.

A few folks have ask about smog check. In CALIFORNIA. NO SMOG NEEDED. The law is 1975 and older. Because compression is near perfect at 150 psi straight across and original owner took such good care of it this engine runs great. No issues. Thanks.
