I thought I'd be passing this onto my son one day as he's been growing up in it, but it doesn't get driven much lately and it's time to pass her on (again).
I've had her about 6 years from the previous owner who I understand had it in the family for a long time. I am possibly owner #2 (in NY) and #4 (in FL). It spent a brief stint in CO with owner #3 before I bought her back.

Thoughts on this one? I’ve always had a thing for the blue 62s

I mean Russell Wilson has maybe 5 years of elite play left. That paint job, however, is forever. They even did the frame. Best part: "bubbled paint is the only flaw to the paint job since owning but unnoticeable."
NOT MINE
This one has been on ebay for a while, not sure what to make of it:

Anyone know the story on this 60? Been up for sale for a while now seems like a decent price so was wondering if anyone has any knowledge or looked at this? Thanks

Not mine. But this is kind of cool, 60 series converted to a pickup truck for a movie. A must have for any Ben Affleck fan.
I can’t help but think about the Seinfeld episode where George thinks he bought John Voit’s car... this a lot better than a Chrysler lebaron though.

I saw this recently. It looks like a good truck. The seller has less than stellar reviews. I wonder why new rims were put on a vehicle with no rust a low mileage. Any thoughts?

This flipper lies out his ass in these listings.
He didn't buy this truck in 1997 from the 1st owner who died. It came from an auction.

Looks like a family of raccoons were living in it.
I would be very skeptical of ANY of the claimed service.
The re-re-paint quality will be crap. Zero prep. Truck is missing reflectors, antenna, rear wiper. Looks like it was thrown back together.
Here's an 80 that the same guy tried to pass off as pristine and that he had owned for a long time...
Caveat Emptor
This FJ62 is being offered by one of the Marks clan (Jim/Jimmy/James). If you don't know what this means and are in the market for a Land Cruiser, then please educate yourself on what these scumbags do.

I have no firsthand knowledge of this vehicle. However, the prior bad acts by members of this family/clan are well documented here on Mud and across the internet.
Mudders, I'm posting this 60 as a warning so that you know that one of the PacNW scumbag flippers is behind this vehicle:

VIN: JT3FJ60G5D0059661
As with anything any of these guys touch, you should be aware of possible (likely) Odo rollbacks, nondisclosed rust, bondo, mechanical issues, skipped Title, cleverly cropped photos, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.
If you think they're not out to rip you off, then best of luck to you.
Here's an older thread for another vehicle this guy was selling.

Folks,
Another day, another questionable 60/62 pops up on ebay.

Claimed Odo = 88000
What you've got is either a broken Odo (for 20+ years) OR the flipper rolled it all the way back to the last reported reading.
There are multiple emissions testing reports after the last Odo reading. The truck didn't float on a magic carpet to the emissions testing station.
60 Seats don't need recovering after 88K miles.
Where did the choke control go?
The seller is using a fresh 0 feedback Ebay account. They are not new to the car selling business.
Mudders,
One of the usual suspects is back at it again. Using yet a different ebay user name.

He's using the ebay ID vintagehunter1979
I'm not going to publicly reveal how I figured out that this is the same guy, since he has lots of Mud IDs as well, despite being banned for being a total and complete dirt bag thief.
If you don't know about this guy, please go ahead and read these thread:

Seller goes by All Metal Classics and All Idaho Classics in Idaho.
I have spoken with another classic SUV collector who got ripped off on a vehicle by these guys. He pointed me in the right direction to do a little more digging on them.
They are bad, BAD news. Use the Google machine to do your own leg work. There's plenty of evidence out there.
On this particular 60... there are 2 super obvious red flags... first, notice that the snake blinders are attached with drywall screws. My guess is that's the cheapest and easiest way to get them to hang on to bondo. Second, look at...
This is cheap so far.....not sure why. Anyone know about it? It's only got 4 hrs left. I'd definitely do a Carfax on it...

I have my suspicions that this 62 is not presented accurately.
The rig is in Washington state where a bunch of the usual scumbag flippers operate. They've got the odo rollback thing down to a science.
The Autocheck report has one single mileage entry, and that was from back in 1994. This is a huge draw for the flippers since there's no real way to validate the current odo, other than looking at the overall condition OR tracking down the previous owner.
The seats have been recovered, which takes your attention away from the overall poor condition of the interior, given the mileage is claimed to be 129K.
Snake blinders are missing.
The "winner" of the previous ebay listing for this 62 backed out.
Flipper is likely...
Its back. I remember seeing this on Seattle CL 2-3 years ago. The owner describes the condition thusly: 'It is functional.'
You really have to admire the builder's commitment to chrome/general badassery:
Louvers on the fuel filler door!
The (enormous) body lift spacers are wrapped in (or made of?) stainless steel. Because if you're going with a 6" body lift, you may as well make sure you can see them from outer space.
To compensate for said body lift and align the grille protector with the body, it has been cut/raised/welded to the front bumper (aligned with and mounted to frame).
I've been shopping around for a FJ62 as a daily driver and found this posted on ebay near me.

Buy it now is $28,500. I'm new to the Land Cruiser world and have noticed that prices are all over the place. I plan to check out the car with a mechanic friend of mine and assuming that the seller is telling the truth about rust; and its mechanically sound to drive daily (with occasional fixes/maintenance) what would be a fair price for it?
Saw this one posted on here a while ago but cannot find that thread. It started on on Craigslist and was a very highly optimistic seller. I think several Mud Members sent the guy some notes concerning his price....eventually the listing went dark. I just came across it on Ebay again with same extremely optimistic asking price of a solid 3X what its probably worth.

Offering for sale our Toyota Landcruiser Fj62 that we drive everyday up here in Vermont. It is in pretty good shape, solid rig. Some Surface rust on the lower front apron, rust on door corners and a couple spots you will see in the photos. It’s not a show piece, but it could be, the truck is all there. I changed the front clip to a...

Posting this one because it has a very low Odo. Claiming 58000
But this rig has spent its entire life on Long Island. At first glance she looks pretty clean. Seller (flipper) discloses that "Chassis, wheels and wheel wells prepped, POR15'd and painted flat black"
Pics show some other cover-up type stuff.
Door corners are rusting. Paint bubbling elsewhere.
This truck may not have been driven much, but spending decades in close proximity to the ocean took its toll.
I think she's got the cancer really bad.
Be aware of what you are getting yourself into and don't simply fall in love with a low odo.
