1985 Toyota Landcruiser - $8000 (Mckinleyville, CA)
Originally purchased in Oregon, I've been going through the Cali emissions process for nearly a year and Cali hates this truck. However, I suspect Oregon (without emissions) still has love for it . . .
The Good:
Completely rebuilt Chevy 350 engine with Aussie V8 conversion kit and only 500 miles on the rebuild (it hums!)
Holley programmable throttle body injection
Edelbroch intake manifold
2.5 inch exhaust with Flowmaster Cat
Centerforce clutch
Stainless valves
4speed manual transmission
Dana 60
New front brakes (pads, rotors and calipers with 100 miles on them)
New rear axle seals (100 miles ago)
Tuffy center console
Big rubber mat in rear and for driver/passenger seats
Rear tinted windows
Newer Distributor
New Battery
Push-button start
The Bad:
Seats are in good condition for a 1985 except for drivers seat has a few tears (throw some covers on it, I didn't bother)
Some minor SMALL rust spots on paint, and I mean minor and SMALL
Some minor surface rust underneath, everything is solid
Front axle seals leak, should be replaced
31" Maxis Bighorn tires are worn, but have a few miles left
Ultra aluminum wheels are nice, but rusting
The Alpine CD player with nice speakers haven't worked since I got it (low priority for me, might just need to be wired?)
Needs shocks, had plans for complete OME suspension, but that's a job for an owner from a state that would allow this vehicle
The Ugly:
California wants me to put the original Toyota engine back in this truck, after driving it, you wouldn't either.
Have paperwork and more pics if needed.
