1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55. This SUV has been restored from the ground up:

1) The engine has been converted to a Chevy 5.7L V8 350 engine by professionals.

2) All of the interior has been reupholstered to a sand/green color, which were the original factory colors.

3) The paint was recently redone completely.

4) All of the accessories to the engine including the master brake cylinder, the alternator, the distributor, the carburetor, and all belts and hoses have been replaced.

5) There is a built-in tent on top of the roof that opens up into a six-man already made living space, which is perfect for camping, with a newly reupholstered floor, and also includes 2 electrical outlets for all of your camping needs. It is VERY uniqueand compact.

6) Four rugged tires excellent for off-roading, and 4x4ing. Because it is a 4x4, all the transfer case, the clutch, and the transmission, have been redone and gone through by pro mechanics.


7) I have spent 35000 in the last 8 years fixing this up, and making it into a monster of a 4x4, called, "THE BEAST" :-)

8) It has an oversized bumper perfect for a winch, and has two military bullet boxes in the front for storage, e.g. hunting/bullets.

9) It has a very large special 60-gallon tank that, when filled up, you can for example, travel from San Diego to La Paz, Baja California, on one tank.

10) Inside the cabin, the floors have been re-carpeted, and re-stitched to a beautiful forest-green-color carpet with plenty of padding which makes riding comfortable.


11) The steering column was recently completely re-built at a cost of $1200.


12) 2 pro-comp brand new front shocks.

13) Hand made wooden dash speedometer trim display and a complete hand-made wooden display for controls was also put in.

14) Will also accept trades, favorably a 1969 Dodge Charger in mint condition with a 396 or bigger engine preferably the 440 Hemi just like the Dukes of Hazzard car.or any other car valued at 35000 .



Overall, there is a lot more to be mentioned. I know that I will never get all of my money back, because when you, for example, have a toy like this, you will always keep on investing in it to make it better. You'd need to see it for yourself as well as test drive it for yourself to appreciate it. Serious inquiries only, no dealers. Please call Bobby for a private showing with an appointment only, at 619-504-9493. Or for specific pictures, please email me a message asking for them at babakbm1@aim.com. Please call especially if you are a Land Cruiser enthusiast, and would like to sell to one who enjoys them. I also have a lot of knowledge on how to find parts for the best prices and how to get discounts for very hard-to-find parts. BTW, vehicle trades are welcome. Thank you very much for the patience you put in to read all of this... (But it is very much worth the call!)

Pretty cool ... but for $35k? I'm wondering how you spend $1200 on a steering column?

Have a dealer do every single little fix and $35k ain't so unrealistic.

The seller states the value is 35K, but the asking price is only $12,995. Not so bad...
