Hola, ya’ll. I’m Shawn. I hope this is ok to do here: I need some advice on this beauty I picked up recently here in Venezuela. She will be on a boat soon, to the US, and offered for sale with legal title, probably in Florida. Basically I’m putting out feelers to see the current value. I am originally from Athens, GA and have been living in Venezuela for the last few years. When I left there were none in the US due to the age restrictions, so I have never even seen one there. Any advice is appreciated.
1990 FJ70 LandCruiser LX model - Left Hand Drive – 3F Motor – 135,xxx kilometers 84,xxx miles
I purchased this FJ from a gentleman who held the title for his boss who left the country, so technically a two owner vehicle but in actuality a one owner truck. I have original sales invoice from Toyota, the manual, and the original three keys. The vehicle was garage kept and honestly the owner must have been a boring guy because it is in exquisite condition. The interior is perfect – seats – carpet – gauge cluster – ceiling are all in perfect condition. The body is perfectly straight with original paint. All gaps are correct. The undercarriage is impeccable with zero rust. The hubs are manual and original. Everything is original except for the radiator and the alternator – these were commonly changed due to reliabilty of the originals. The radiator is aluminum and the alternator is Cheverolet.
The Details: There are few chips in the paint(photos below) I am not going to repair them so the purchaser can see all the detail. I don’t want to try and hide anything. The hinge in the center console was broken and is being replaced with steel. The fender flares are being repainted because someone shot them with high gloss black at some point and frankly they looked stupid – repainting them the original satin black. There are also three different tires brands on this beast. Tires are very hard to come by here so it will be shipped as is. They are all the same size and in good shape but different.
Thanks for your time and if anyone want additional photos let me know and I will get them.

. I never knew Venezuela produced FJ40s. Every VIN I’ve ever checked(many) has been Japanese. But come to think of it I think I’ve only ever looked at the 45 series. Maybe 45s were imported.
