It's a resto, but definitely has the 2016 New cruiser smell!

Very nice. Like from out of a time capsule.

Are you sure?
That is how the tops came, in the crate in the box.
It has to be a 1980?? or newer because of the notch in running board.
I've never seen a '45 with factory power steering.

This one is not, it was presented as a gift to my dad today. It was a surprise. They were hoping to have it finished by the time he arrived. He did buy the next two rigs to be finished after the one pictured. All of our future restored units will be done by this gentlemen.

1980.. 100% a resto. This will be our 4th or 5th 45 with factory power steering.

The question that begs to be asked is "whose your daddy"?

Your right everything's packed and wrapped in the crate ready to go.

Thats why i thought it was a NOS, because of the crate in the back and plastic over the dash pads.

I thought the same thing when I saw pictures of a FJ40 restored the same way.
Takes him four months to turn one out.
