SOLD

1975 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 - $13K/OBO This truck looks and drives better than many $10K trucks that I've seen, so I have priced it accordingly. This truck runs like a top and has been nothing but a pleasure to work on and drive. It easily cruises 70mph on the highway, tracking straight and...
