Toyota : Land Cruiser FJ 60

This is the story I was given when I purchased the FJ a few months ago.  This was a impulse buy and I have lost interest. I am looking to get out of it what I paid for it less shipping. The only thing i did to the vehicle was reseal the windshield and replace wires to the spotlights. The little I have driven the vehicle it has run well. Shipping will be ll the buyers responsibility. You are welcome to see the vehicle prior to auction end in Culpeper VA. My cell with questions is 540 729 0295 name is Travis.
"  ****  Awesome 1986 FJ 60 *****
Here is your chance to own an amazing Cruiser with a really cool history.
This Cruiser was purchased by a retired Toyota manager along with 19 other FJ-60's and taken to Costa Rica where it was completely restored 5 years ago.  18 of the Cruisers were sold to folks living there. as they are an ideal vehicle for the place.  This particular FJ was one of his 2 personal Cruisers (one for him and one for his wife) and was used regularly in Costa Rica for about year after being finished.  Once a week. he would pick up the local veterinarian. and take him out through the country to service those that did not come to town.  When they decided to move back home to Oregon. they were not ready to part with their personal FJ's. so they shipped them both back.  For the past 3 years. they had been sitting side by side in his garage. only being driven on rare occasion.  We went to look at one for sale. and ended up buying both of them as a package deal (My wife thought this one would be her daily driver. but she found out that she doesn't like driving a standard transmission in town every day.  Deciding we really don't need two toy's. we have decided to part with this one before we too. become overly attached.
As you will see from the photo's. the FJ is in fantastic condition both inside and out.  As the restoration was done over the course of restoring several others. he didn't bother keeping detailed documents. but as mentioned. this was his personal FJ. so he didn't spare any expense on it.  He did tell me that even buying parts for the projects in bulk. he figures he invested nearly 30k into the project.  Top end of engine. and drivetrain were re-built. all springs and shocks were replaced with new. all body panels were taken apart. painted and put back together. interior was re-done with carpet. custom rubber mat in the back for cargo. and new Kenwood CD player with IPOD connection in glove box.  All the chrome emblems. grill. lights. etc. were replaced.  All window regulators were replaced and properly lubricated so the windows work great.  Custom rear sliding windows were added.  Custom tow hitch and wiring for trailer was installed.  Custom ultra wheels and 33x12x15 BFG mud terrain tires were installed. and are still like brand new.  Custom roof rack. and an ARB bull bumper with Warn 8000 LB winch was installed.  The A/C system was converted to R-134A and we just had it re-freshed so it blows Ice Cold.  
All in all this is an amazing Cruiser that gets tons of looks and compliments.  It looks beautiful from any distance. and would look great in any exhibition.  It rides and drives great at 5 mph. or at 65 mph out on the hi-way.  Everything works as it should and it is ready to be your every day driver. or your weekend warrior.
I believe that someone is going to get a fantastic deal on this Cruiser.  We are setting our reserve price at less than half of what has been invested just so we can use the money for our other project. a custom 1983 convertible FJ 60.  "
As you can see below I pulled the rig from Auction due to a cracked head. The 60 has had a new head put on and running as it should so it is back up for auction!
