SOLD
Up for sale is my 1985 FJ60 in Land Rover white with grey interior. This truck has almost 174,000 miles on it and is in exceptional condition. No accidents, next to no rust on frame and 99% rust free body.
Originally a Nevada truck, this FJ60 was bought in 2015 at 153,000 miles by a doctor in Wisconsin who kept it until January of 2022 when I bought it with 173,000 miles on it. He stored the truck during winter months over the course of his ownership, and the mileage and condition support this.
This 60 was to be a longer-term keeper for me, but I have decided to sell it to fund an air cooled Porsche 911 project.

Items of note:
I looked at so many 60's before I found this one. I was searching for a clean, collectible, yet driver quality 60 to tool around town in, take the kids to the pool in the summer, etc. I really, really wanted to avoid rust, interiors in bad condition, questionable mileage or anything that was going to require money and upgrades.
What I really wanted was an adult-owned, well-cared-for example without having to fight it out in the Bring A Trailer auction marketplace.
This one came along when I was ready to give up - it was literally the last 60 I was willing to evaluate - and it ticked almost all of the boxes for me except the color. At the time I was really searching for a Freeborn Red. But, because fo the quality of the truck, I opted for the white and I must say the Land Rover white presents quite nicely.
The truck has a clean and clear title and is currently stored in a climate controlled garage.
My intent was to keep the truck for awhile longer but I am an air cooled Porsche “addict” and have stumbled upon a project that I need funding for. In case you’re interested, here is my air cooled Porsche YT channel to give you a feel for how I care for my cars: https://youtube.com/c/Rennthusiast
