FJ25 information (1 Viewer)

Good evening everyone. So I found a Land cruiser near me. The vin on the chassis says FJ2520306L and the engine block is stamped F120852. The seller is telling me that it is a 1981 40 series with a 2f engine. He has no title for it. Correct me if I am wrong but Vin starting FJ25 is pre 1960 and engine block starting with just "F" is an F engine. I cannot find information on FJ25 vin numbers or engine codes. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Vin states it’s a 1960 fj25.
Do you have a picture of it? And the engine is super easy to tell the difference between a 2f and 1f by looking at it. Valve cover is the easiest glance to say 2f 1f.

Are the rear wheel cutouts round?

Good afternoon. The valve cover says 2F but the block starts with F.

Body is definitely not 20 series. Gas tank is not under the seat. I will attach some pictures tonight

A 1981 FJ40 would have the gas tank under the Cruiser, and a 2F in it. Interested to see what it is.

Parts rig. SA import with no title? Don’t know how Florida is but unless it’s cheap and going thru paperwork isn’t bad in Florida I wouldn’t touch it for anything other than parts. It’s a late model body 79 or newer. frame looks to be a 25 just from vin. But the steering center link would be a way to tell if it’s an early frame and also if it has the centered rear axle. If original but with everything I would doubt it

Thanks for the input. Appreciate it
