SOLD 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser 40th Anniversary Edition
Miles: 275K
After a ton of deliberation, I have purchased a new project and I now must sell my 1997 40th Anniversary 80 series Landcruiser. This is an amazing rig that has been babied all of its live. I have had many people tell me it is the cleanest 80 series they have ever come across but you will have to determine that on your own..
What is most impressive beyond its condition are the maintenance records that have been kept with this vehicle from the day it was driven off the lot. I have a book of over what seems like 1000 receipts of everything that has ever been done to this truck.
It’s History:
Original Owner
The truck was purchased new on April 12th, 1997 from Seeger Toyota in Creve Coeur Missouri (suburb of St. Louis, MO.) The original owners were meticulous, non smokers, maintained the truck in every aspect per the recommended maintenance schedule offered by Toyota. Original owner maintained the truck at Seeger Toyota as well as Lou Fusz Toyota in St. Louis over the time of ownership.
2nd Owner (Me)
I purchased this truck from the original owner (it was for sale by owner) on Oct. 20th, 2004 with 143K miles on the odometer. I owned the truck built it up and enjoyed from Oct. 2004 to Nov. 2007.
3rd Owner
Sold the truck to the owner of Voodoo LandCruisers in Nov of 2007 with 165K miles on the odometer. He continued the over the top maintenance and record keeping that the original owner and I had kept over the years + more.
Purchased it back
As time had passed I missed the truck so much that I convince him to sell it back to me. I purchased it back in Nov of 2013 with 190K miles on the odometer.
The truck has only had 3 owners in its life. It has been loved, babied and has always been maintained with factory Toyota parts from the day it was new. It was more than likely overkill but worth it IMO to use Toyota parts for near everything.
