For Sale 1997 LX450 189k no lockers restored MD (off the market)

Hey all - I got help sorting out my LX. Frank at Land Cruiser Heaven in MD was a great guide and helped me get a truck that needed some TLC into great shape. He did a full baseline and we did a bunch of upgrades. I bought this truck to keep me out of NYC on the weekends and I kept it here for 2 months and realized its a huge hassle to deal with an automobile in NYC.

Priced at $15k

I can't figure out how to change the title of the post. It is 189k miles not 188k. Apologies folks.

Given the states this cruiser has spent time in, it would definitely help to post some detailed undercarriage/engine bay shots. GLWS.

Was this ever sold? Are people avoiding it b/c of the rust or the price?

 

[Sfine]

Sale pending financing approval for the buyer

 

[acarlton]

Sweet. Good luck!

 

[Sfine]

Truck not sold to potential buyer as he said it was bigger than he expected when he saw it in person. Bank financing ended up being a secondary issue.

So this works in my fathers favor. I am shipping it to him as a gift. If he enjoys it awesome and if not you may see it back up here on the forum.

Consider it off the market.

Thank you forum members.

If you haven't shipped this out yet, I'd be very interested in taking a look at this rig. Are all the seats original?
