Some undercarriage photos:

I believe the value remains in the $12k range; if it were pristine it would be far more and it is not pristine at present - but a very solid and straight 40th Anniversary Land Cruiser.

This guy Khan didn't ask a single question during the Ebay auction and came in at the last minute with a winning bid - and then promptly defaulted. Seems that Khan is a used car dealer who was looking for a quick flip and lots of profit; he bids under "usmotorsport." Ebay determined that...

I just listed one that could work; does need clean up but even with that would still be well under your budget.

The good: 100% South Florida driven – so no rust. Engine and transmission are solid. Sheetmetal is great. The AC and heat work, as do the sunroof, radio and power accessories. Have Pro Comp rims plus the 40th Anniv. OEM rims come with it. Clean title and Carfax. Original owner was MLB All Star...

One of the best and lowest-mileage FJ80 Land Cruisers out there - and a 40th Anniversary Limited Edition (No. 653). Driven 100% in Florida so has never seen salt or winter. Ready for the next 175k miles. Originally owned by MLB All-Star MVP Julio Franco and driven in the off-season (hence the...

Great information. Have a 1B2 Antique Sage Pearl, No. 0653. Originally owned by MLB All Star MVP Julio Franco, that I bought from his brother in law. Need to check about the differential locks. I unfortunately lent it to my brother in law, and it needs some cosmetic work. 175k miles. Have OEM...

Thank you very much.

I am considering selling my 40th Anniv. South Florida vehicle about 165k miles.

Truck is in nice shape. I have the same vehicle with half that mileage that I plan to put on the market soon. Just need to get the seats worked on as the leather has cracked from 20+ years in the Florida heat. Belonged to former MLB All-Star MVP so was used infrequently during the season. Any...

Looking to transport seats (three rows) from Dayton Ohio to South Florida. Please let me know if you have space on a vehicle on this route. Thank you.

Does anyone know with certainty what the rim offset is on the late 80 series rims - such as the 1997? These are the "D" style rims. I have seen them referred to as zero offset. Am upgrading and considering 17x9 rim with a -6 offset and 285/17/70 tire, and want to compare the fit.
