Just became the owner of a 1965LPB (21951) that my uncle purchased new in 1967 from a Ford dealership in Ely, NV. Lots of surface rust but good bones that was in mid-restoration/modification by his grandson who's priorities changed, leading him to sell it to me yesterday. Nice cousin.
Prior to that, it sat outside on my uncle's ranch near Ely for some 25+ years.
Hello I have a 1967 FJ-45. Might be a 1966 according to the frame # no Brass tag.
FJ-4527047
Originally a California truck, went to Anchorage Alaska. Owner left for Australia and left it with his brother.
Eventually he decided to sell and that is when I bought It. It has been in Anchorage, Valdez, Juneau, and Haines before I barged it down to Washington State where it is now.
I have had other land cruisers, FJ-40's and FJ-62's. This is my favorite by far.
Thanks to everyone on Mud, so much great info and friendships here, lets keep it going!]

No Mark. That one ended up in Ventura.Is this the one you said you just missed out on Tommy?
Wow, You found one. Where did you find it?

Redmond, Oregon. 1 owner truck, bought off the lot in Bend 1967. Original paint takes no elbow grease to polish out. The owner; who passed away a couple years ago, called it Blue Bird. I look at it and want to call it 8-track.

Nice to meet you. Sorry I was so uptight. My new working M.O. just isn't taking well to unannounced visits. I wouldn't have put two and two together either if it hadn't been for Tommy's posting bringing me back to this old thread. Now I will remember.Just became the owner of a 1965LPB (21951) that my uncle purchased new in 1967 from a Ford dealership in Ely, NV.

Prior to that, it sat outside on my uncle's ranch near Ely for some 25+ years. Thankfully, eastern NV is high desert. Below is the process of loading it for transport from Ely to my home in Colorado, with VIN tag below that. Has the original motor, trans, hood, fenders, grill, etc. Stock as they come.
