I need to sell my LC80 due to a change in my circumstances. I will post it on Mud so that the good people here can have first dibs but if it doesn't sell quick it will be on BAT by the weekend. I picked this vehicle up back in March. It needed a lot of love and attention and I didn't hold back. In fact I started to prefer this cruiser over my white lifted cruiser and in May I sold the white one. This one has been my daily driver ever since.
It's a 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser triple locked and almost completely stock and a clean title. Every body panel is original and still has the Toyota VIN stickers on them. I bought it in March as a mini project to keep me sane but it quickly escalated into a fairly extensive restoration. I drove it from Missouri to Florida as soon as I bought it and even though the engine was strong I decided that with 265K on the clock the first task I would be doing was an engine overhaul. Before I started the overhaul I pulled a sample of the oil and sent it to Blackstone. The results were impressive (see attached). The engine overhaul included:
My goal was to get a a 100% reliable vehicle that didn't suck up my time fixing it instead of driving it so while I was in there....
Steering wheel leather is starting to show its age but only looks bad because everything else is new.. Paintwork is pretty good - has been resprayed. There are one or two minor dings that are almost unnoticeable.
I am hoping to get $23K but will listen to any reasonable offer. I would be happy to drive it to it's new home (some conditions of course).
I will post a bunch of photos but I have lots more if required.
PM me if you have any questions.
