Does have high mileage but it is a 4.5
Front driver's seat looks gnarly.

Is it green? It sure looks black. PM me the price if you can.

It does look black to me as well. My 80 is a green metallic and looks very black. I do agree though it does look like its black. VIN says that too though.

It's currently listed for $7,900 on Craigslist (BTW, that's a Chicago Electric winch [Harbor Freight] not a Detroit)

Where at?

The auction price is lower and a "Harbor Freight" winch? I wouldn't depend on that.

It came up on a search for 80s I was doing for another customer today and thought I would post it.

What type of fee are you looking for?

Here is the other listing.

1997 Toyota Land Cruiser, Green

I am almost surprised the previous owner or someone that knew him didn't recognize it on here
Why would you put a harbor freight winch on an ARB. You can find an m8000 for $500.
I wonder how different the winches are. I have rebuilt both warn and super winches and I feel the super winch had better quality.
The warn solenoids are old ford starter solenoids. Not that its a bad thing I just found that interesting.

The green one I drove around for awhile. I was going to buy it from the guy but found something else so I gave it back to him. Then the next day he just went and up sold it to the dealer. I'm sure he gave him nothing for it. I was going to pay less that 6K for it so I'm sure that dealer got it for around 4K. As far as the car listed on there first looks pretty hard ridden. They do salt some roads over in those parts. If you look in some of the other pictures of the green one with the snowboard racks he sprayed some rust cover up paint on the entire undercarrage. There wasn't a lot but still. Also all of the carpet and some other things are missing on that green one I had for awhile. Interesting car lot. Lots of Scouts and other cool 4x4's on it. The one I had was running really well with great power (low oil pressure), but was ridden hard and put away wet (really wet...no carpet in the back). Also those tires have 70K miles on them and are hard as rocks. Big shake at 65MPH that gives you a headache after a few minutes. Front end is really saggy. With all that weight and stock springs they are shot. Othwise not a bad car. No controls for that winch so it won't do you a lot of good. It is a mile marker.
