1969 Toyota Land Cruiser FST

I am offering for sale a professionally hand-built. nut-and-bolt restoration of a 1969 Factory Soft-Top Toyota Land Cruiser.

A little of my background: I have owned twelve FJ40s over the past twenty years. and this is my fifth restoration.   This is by far the most comprehensive I have ever completed; I have well over one thousand hours invested.   You will not find a more original. complete. quality restoration anywhere.   Please visit the following link to be directed to an online photo album containing supplemental images. which chronicle each stage of my process in detail.
