67 FJ45 State Geological Vehicle for New Mexico (1 Viewer)

[FJ40 MATT]

I bought this 45 probably around 7 months ago and just got it here with my LV the other weekend. I was told it was used as the Geological State vehicle for New Mexico at one point. I wish the original doors were on it still bc I have a good feeling they probably had some cool lettering on them. It’s been out in California I think for the last 10-15 years I think bc the guy I bought it from bought off someone who lived in California as well. I spent sometime the other day and got it running and driving. It was my first time ever driving one, so it was a lot of fun. Truck runs great and looks a lot better after I got the red later year doors off. Have a pair of white doors on their way here and hoping to get it insured and registered this week or next week after I go over it more. Here are some pictures

Apparently Ryan (aka Greenfox) used to own this. He brought it to the 45 run one year in Deer Valley. I remember it ran like s***. Glad you got it Matt.

Drove the truck down the street to my house finally the other day. Got a bunch of smiles for the thirty second ride it took to get there

Thanks Brian I’m hoping to get it on the road next week. I’m off tomorrow and going to go through the electrical to see what it needs.

Funny, I also told Greenfox about his old 45!
