I am reluctantly selling this one of a kind truck. I had planned on keeping it until my last breath, or at least handing it down to a child when the time was right. But I bought a 75 Ute in August and two cruisers are more of a burden than an asset at the moment.
This is a ‘84 FJ60 with ‘84 only 857 nordic blue paint (i specifically sought out a 60 with this color because it’s rare and my favorite). And even more rare, dealer fitted vinyl wood decals!!
It’s been a western truck since new. I believe I am the third owner but not confident on that. From my understanding, the original owner was from AZ, then sold it to Proffitt’s when he traded up for something else. It sat at the Proffitts yard patiently waiting for a resto-mod until one of the employees bought it. He owned it for a couple of years until I bought it from him in 2010.
It has been my DD for the last 7 years. I put about 65,000 miles on it in that time and it never once left me stranded. I would hop in and drive it to Tierra Del Fuego tomorrow if I could afford to.
Fly'n'Drive and we'll go ford the Dolores River real quick (3 hr RT from my house, with time for some banger instagram shots- #cruiserposers #backyardrivercrossings - before you head home. I might even let you drive the Ute if you buy the
