This is a rare and unique vehicle, it is in excellent mechanical and visual condition, everything works as it should, no rust, and only a handful of superficial scuffs. I just had the injection pump professionally rebuilt and calibrated, and dial gauge timed, so it's running smooth. The interior is in near perfect shape, the center console armrest is worn which is a normal wear point on these, I cracked the side of the plastic around the shifter and epoxied that back together, some of the plastic on the doors has a small amount of wear but other wise this thing looks like new. I'd turn the key and drive it anywhere right now, it's ready to go. I am the third user of this vehicle, and as far as I can tell it has never actually seen a jeep trail, the one owner in Japan appears to have used it very lightly, the second owner mostly kept it in a garage, and I've only taken it on a handful of light camping trips. This could be made in to a show car or even a museum piece with minimal effort. All updated parts have been OEM or sourced from the original Japanese Domestic part number whenever possible. Legally imported with all papers and a clean Texas title.
