How many 45s out there?

Hi. Still new here.

I see lots of ads for FJ45's here - I thought they were rare?

Of course we see very few cruisers at all here on the East Coast - I have seen one 45 wagon ever - from a distance.

I am finally buying my own 45 wagon, from the Midwest (had a FJ40 years ago) - how many 45 wagons were made for the US? (I need stats for braggin' rights)

and what does LV mean?

Check out this site: http://www.root45.com/history.html

should answer some of your questions.

L stands for left hand drive and V stands for van

Thanks Dave - so it looks like 15,000 were made, but only 1500 made it to the US. I'll be certain to take extra special care of mine (when I get it)

edit - root45 is an amazing website - I've got a lot to learn...

and I think I posted in the wrong spot.

wouldn't worry about posting in the wrong section.

Be sure to post a pic in the owners section with the vin# once you get the wagon.

Good luck

Dave
