1964 FJ45 Toyota Land Cruiser Short Bed Pickup

The FJ45 comes to you in near perfect condition. It went through a full frame off restoration within the last several years. The original Toyota paint code T403 Lily White. was used. the cap and front headlight ring are the correct off white Toyota used for their trim and was just reapplied last fall. as was the interior silver trim on the inner door panels. dash cluster and glove box.   Rims are powder coated the correct Pewter. and with newer Toyota Hub Caps. The front end sports a WARN winch with new nylon rope and stainless tow hook. Under the 45 you will find the under carriage in near flawless condition. Stainless exhaust in new condition. Shocks. leaf springs. gas tank. cables. all in excellent condition. The frame is completely rust free as is the entire vehicle.

This 1964 FJ45 comes with pages of documented receipts from TLC 4X4 Service/Repair in Chatsworth. CA. Mr. Ward's company. TLC4X4 is one of the finest Land Cruiser Restoration. service and repair shops in the world. Building the best. and most expensive custom Land Cruisers ever. at ICON.

A few notable items installed by TLC in 2011. where:

Custom bed cover with front and rear roll up sides. Using 3 ply Mercedes dark gray canvas. Custom made steel one piece bows and J rails powder coated with steel hardware. Parts and Labor $5800

Custom bed mount spare-tire-carrier mounted in bed on bulk head. Parts and labor $990

Front differential replaced inner axle seals. wipers. retainers. grease seals. repack wheel bearings and overhaul front hubs. Parts and Labor $1490

Front and rear break cylinders (all 8) cleaned backing plates. bled brake system and adjusted breaks. Parts and Labor $1410. 00

This list goes on for 4 pages and results in a grand total of over $22. 00 spent just in upgrades and replacement repairs done at TLC. (see photo of receipts)

The 64' FJ45 under went a front axle and front disc brake conversion as well. replacing the front axle assembly with a late model FJ40 (1978) factory disc brake axle and late model FJ40 power brake booster and master cylinder. The axles were re geared to match the rear differential. and entirely over hauled with new inner axle seals. burfield seals wipers. retainers. hubs. rotors. calipers. brake hoses. brake pads. all tie rods. and links. and plumed hard brake hoses to the master cylinder.  

Since the road test done by TLC in 2011 the 45 has barely been driven. It has a total of less than 6000 miles on the create Chevrolet 350 V8 motor. Compression shows 180 across the board. and the pickup runs like new. As you can see by the photos. this conversion was done professionally. and no expense was spared. The engine compartment is as clean as the day it was built in Japan almost 50 years ago. All phases of the FJ45 check out: Road Test. Engine. Cooling. Ignition System. Transmission. Transfer Case. both Front and Rear Differentials all gone thru as noted. Drive shaft. Universal Joints. all serviced. Brake System. Suspension. Steering. and wheels and tires. The glass. and all exterior components are all in excellent condition.

As mentioned earlier. there is no rust anywhere on the FJ45. The 6 foot bed was completely restored with new 16 gauge metal. and is in excellent condition. and serves nicely as extra room for gear. and even a couple of passengers with added FJ40 jump seats. The canvas top is the nicest I have ever seen. with the easiest and most sophisticated snap system ever built.

There are many new items on. and in the FJ45. and it would be redundant to list them all. View the photos and ask questions. The pickup is in exceptional condition. in and out.

I reserve the right to end the auction early. Bid with confidence. I have excellent references.

Quote from Hemmings

“The Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser will become the next Volkswagen 21-Window Samba bus. In the past three years. prices for restored Volkswagen buses have shot through the roof. with the rarest examples consistently realizing six-figure prices at auction. A similar phenomenon is beginning to happen with Toyota FJ40 Land Cruisers; once a rare sight at high-end auctions. their presence has become expected. and prices for well-preserved or meticulously restored examples have risen accordingly. I wouldn't be surprised at all if an exceptional FJ40 topped $100. 00 at auction in 2014.


UPDATE January 2014. RM sold an FJ40 for $101. 20”
