The SA Pig hunt - 1978 FJ-55 diesel (out)

I don't think that is a panhard bar anyway. It has to be a frombie tierod because you dont dampen a panhard.

Are you looking to import for yourself or to sell?

Learned about a panhard suspension. Good stuff here as always.

And thanks for the reply.

I'm only looking for older LCs (and others) to export and sell in the US or ?. A friend has a 10k sf body shop in me fdellin (with a booth which is rare down here) for some resto work if it makes sense. Something I enjoy doing after being a suit for many years, and will hopefully turn into a semi-retirement plan.

system.

Also, what are the years of the pig?

68-79.

Here's a 78 and she's pretty. Tho not easy to get to.

Looks very original, but i'm no expert. Any opinions on this pig?

 

[Devils Paw 80]

Looks to be in pretty good shape, though I don't believe that's an original paint color. Can't tell if it has PS or not. The jump seats in the back are a feature not seen in the States.

If I was down there I would be concentrating on the FZJ75

The 93 is 25 years old this year and it’s a left hand drive 70 series.

You can sell every one you can buy.

Fzj70's would be popular too.

Thanks and you are correct, no PS per the owner. also says no rust (lives in the mountains here). Going to look at it next week if she's still for sale.

FZJ70

Thanks guys for the advise. Will look into those also. So many cruisers to consider - also like the 45s and they seem to be $$.

Part of the challenge looking here is rarely do the sellers post the make/model/etc. correctly.

So, nothing jumps out re: this 78 FJ55? Seems to be priced right even with the extra 2.5k to ship it north.

There's a lot of these, but they're calling them
FZJ75 MT 4500CC
down here. and also "macho"

Most run about 8 to 10k before shipping, so they're not exactly cheap here. I need to learn more about the land cruiser acronyms

 

[thecariackid]

or this one posted as a 1993 FZJ MT 4.5?
