I grew up in Japan and I don't remember this. I remember Subarus, Hondas, and something 3 wheeled. All of them loaded to the hilt, front wheels barely touching the ground. I left Japan as a 12 year old in 1967.

...Maybe the Mazda Jeep is a prototype and they never build and sold the nice truck.

Uknown Soft Top, Nevada City

A tid bit to ponder................ ever notice early Jeeps had 7 slots in the front grill? This Mazda does also but at 90 degrees? Look at an FJ25 and count the vent slots......Humm there are 7, what went on then? Curious, John

Cruiser nerd, you need to change #132. check out #130 it is in my shop right now, and for sale in our 25 section, I could not part it out, because this KEEPS another FJ25 on the planet! I am real tempted to get it a runner if no one wants to buy it as is. Thank's John Pardi, Camino, Calif.

FJ25 had seven vent slots Only three chrome ribs in the center so I only count four openings. I guess with the two smaller ones at the bottom of the bib you would have six. With the opening above the front bib in the hood area you would have seven.

7 slots on the hood? that would be on each side...and then 7 as LITP has counted....so a TLC has 21 slots....thats 3x better than all the others

John, help me out here. Are you saying that #132 is really #130? I'll be glad to change it if it is, but one being red and the other blue is a little confusing. Or is the right side red and the left side primer?

the nevada city one didnt have the center vent windshield ? johns does ... tis very odd

If you read John's for sale ad it says he thought it may have rolled because of the missing windshield. He say he put a windshield and hood from a 1965 FJ40 on it. Explaines the windshield. But by the earlier CL ad pictures I'm guessing they were sold or robbed for another project.

VIN:58FJ25 in Guatemala
• Land Cruiser FJ 25, 1960, Todo un Clasico • Ciudad de Guatemala
(for sale)

Cheers
Peter

thanks LITP...i didnt notice that...the same rig then

peter...i'll need to check this VIN:58FJ25 in Guatemala out when i get home

Since I don't speak spanish I couldn't see a price. But looks like it been for sale since Oct. last year. So far I see the wrong running boards, wrong rear mirror, Flap missing for the vent on the windshield, windshield bumpers and hold downs on the hood missing. Probably going to have to pay someone to take. I guess because it has a working front bumper and the tread looks okay on the bias tires I could give them a few bucks if they are willing to delivery

You got it! right side red left side sanded to primer. I have the orig. hood but the one I put on it is way better, and the 1968 windshield frame was just wrong.

Doc - That is exquisite! Very nice!
