1997 Land Cruiser FZJ80 Triple-Locked 80 series (185,721 miles) for sale $7K OBO:

I’ve owned this LC for the last twenty years and have kept it essentially stock. It is located in Deland, FL near Daytona Beach. Clear FL title. As a Florida truck for 20 years and Texas before that, rust is minimal ( rust bubble on tailgate near rear window). The truck runs cool, drives and stops straight, and has five Toyo Open Country ATs with half tread remaining. CEL is off. The A/C blows cold (but motor is noisy), and the lockers work. Factory Maintenance Manual and Electrical Wiring Diagram/Manual are included. Headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals operate properly. Front and rear wipers work properly but washer doesn’t work. Engine, driveline, suspension, and exhaust are original but functional. Windshield has a crack on driver side that I’ve gotten used to (see photo). Florida sun has baked the interior, ruining the sunroof (sealed shut with Flex Tape). Front seats and teak veneer are shot, with only the dash pad remaining intact.
*** Edited 8/27/24 to add: Dash pad is NOT undamaged. It is cracked where hidden behind the steering wheel from driver line of sight. ***
Radio plays through one speaker and the antenna was removed by a tree limb. Rear seats, third row seats, and carpeting were removed after an incident with water on the trail in 2009 (see photo). As a result, front seats no longer adjust and driver side window doesn’t work and the brake and air bag warning lights are stuck on. Transmission was rebuilt at that time. Paint is decent with one rust bubble under rear window (see photo), Body panels and fender flares are undamaged, but rear bumper plastic was crunched and tailpipe removed by backing into a tree. Attached pictures are from 2024. Additional views and close-ups will be added as requested.
Valve cover gasket was replaced in 2024 along with distributor cap, wires, and plugs.

Head gasket is original but seems ok. I have not had an oil analysis done to check for coolant, I did check the coolant overflow tank and the coolant looks uncontaminated and green (I switched from Toyota red). Oil on the dipstick is clear. Engine runs cool. I made a cold start video (showing no smoke) but MP4 files are not supported as a reply or as a direct message. I could email to you if you want. The roof is not rusted -- rack mounts and deflector mounts are solid.
 
In spite of the Florida sun baking all plastic parts in the interior, there are NO leaks at the doors or windows due to gasket damage. I inspected all of the door, window, and tailgate rubber gaskets and all were supple and undamaged except for this 1-inch tear on the rear of the driver-side door opening. All of the plastic drainage system for the sunroof was destroyed, however, and there have been no leaks since it was sealed with Flex Tape,

1. That one spot under the rear window is the only body rust. I'll have to get a ladder to check out the roof and rack mounts and deflector mounts from above. No rust is visible from the side. I'll crawl under the truck and take a bunch of shots tomorrow of the underbody and text or FB message them to anyone interested.
2. Dash pad is perfect. Vaseline is good stuff. *** Edited 8/27/24 to add: Dash pad is NOT undamaged. It is cracked where hidden behind the steering wheel from driver line of sight (See photo). ***
3. The removed seats were offered for free on Mud but no takers, so they were discarded. I really didn't think I would ever sell the Land Cruiser, so keeping the option of returning it to stock never entered my mind.
