1984 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 Full Size 4X4 2F

"RARE full size 1984 North-American spec Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 for sale. VERY SOLID. Western truck, just shipped in. Starts right up. Runs good. Needs a good detailing and a paint job to be perfect. Clear title in hand. These FJ60 cruisers are in HIGH DEMAND these days and regularly sell for over $40,000 when finished. Very easy light project or drive as-is while it appreciates in value."


Wow, gotta love CL ads. Asking price on this one is $17,500 and thats probably about $14,000 too high. The wheels alone should be an indication of the problems with this vehicle.

This one is pretty interesting. Asking $54k:

But they put it on eBay for auction and it ended at $18,200 (reserve not met). Bit of a reach?

I don't know, that one is fairly bad ass. Worth more than $18K.

Totally agree - just have to question a $54k ask when auction only hits $18k.

believe this has a trail tailor coil conversion in it. The rust on the back would scare off plenty. He'd be wise to get that fixed then put it up for sale again. would think this would be in the high $30's low $40s with the rust addressed.

I didn't notice the rust. Fix that and put on BAT, will go for big bucks.

V8 swap AND a coil conversion by @TRAIL TAILOR ???!!! That guy might take a loss at 54k honestly, labor costs add up quick on a build like that…

We did the coil conversion... WE DID NOT DO THAT ENGINE SWAP...

Seems the big money is going to the bone stock with a small lift and most. Would be curious to see what something this built went for on BAT.

I love the strategically placed camera angles and objects blocking the view.

I have seen a ton of vehicles in my time that look way better in the pictures then they do in person. I would hate to see what this one looks like “in person”. It might give a true FJ40 lover a heart attack !

I also love how they say "a little bit of rust" and they have the missing window if you want to put it in... good luck with that. This listing made me laugh out loud!!

Looks like this one got some diamond plate and a $5k increase in price.

I was thinking the same thing when I saw that the other day, they also got a corner window in the hard top, but the fiberglass is all cracked

maybe this qualifies?
I like the lack of heater with snow on the ground in NW Montana
and a snorkel to nowhere

Indeed, there are minimal body panels without rust!

Not sure the coil over shock on the steering stabilizer is a benefit

Interesting, I'll have to check that out. Mine is pretty similar and I was thinking of selling it - although mine is completely rust free with a brand new high end paint job, and my 5.3 conversion was done by Torfab.

when the world was more normal that was a $3k to $4k truck. Now with the crazy prices 60's are going for maybe thats a $6k-$7k truck. $19k is crack pipe all day
