Now on to the truck:

1997 Toyota Land Cruiser, 4WD, 4x4 with factory differential locks. Antique Sage Pearl with beige/oak leather interior, California since year 2000.ZERO rust.Look at all the photos. Clean CarFax, no accidents. 2 owner rig.

This is a nice example of a 40th Anniversary Edition and 100% stock Land Cruiser. Was purchased new in New York and spent less than 3 years there before coming to California. Very rare to find an 80 Series with diff locks in the 40th Anniversary trim. Getting harder and harder to find them.

4.5 Liter fuel injected straight 6, automaticfull-time 4x4 (4WD) with low range and factory front,center and rear diff lock. Moonroof, 3rd row seats, running boards, roof rack, receiver hitch.

It runs, drives, brakes and shifts perfectly and is a pleasure to drive. Shifts into 4 low super smoothly, ALL lockers engage quickly and ABS turns off.

Most everything works on this cruiser. The powerwindows work great though the master switch sometimes doesn't engage and you need to use the other door switch. Drivers power seats works work perfectly, the passenger seat up/down and recline work great, the fore and aft doesn't but it's in the rear most position (gear motor works but doesn't move seat) the power mirrors (slight shake in driver mirror), power button, 2nd gear start button, overdrive button, moonroof etc. Lightbulbs for the"D" light is burned out. All original glass all the way around. Cold AC, wipers/washers work great and correctly. The power antenna works.

Recent service includes:

-oil change, filter and full lube on all drive shaft joints

-new 285/75/16 BFG KO2's at 188k miles

California plates are good until August 2017

The exterior pretty good condition. 100% original paint with the exception of the fender flares as they have been re-sprayed but you can barely tell, slight clear coat fade on the hood and a little on the roof. A few character dings and very small scratches here and there noted in the photos, though much, much less than most cruisers of this vintage. Small dent in the left rear quarter panel that just hits the tail-light. Please look closely at the photos I tried to zero in on any blemishes. The original jack and tool kit are present. All original VIN stickers are present showing all original body panels, hood, rear hatch etc. All original Toyota glass all the way around except the windshield. There are a few chips in the windshield but very small.

The interior is in very good original condition.All original seats, carpet, leather etc. The leather seats are original and have held up quite well. The only bummer is there a small split in the leather on the front passenger seat showing the seat foam (shown in photos). The dash controls, the dash plastics, the console, the gear shifts, the carpet, the steering wheel, the headliner are very nice. No funny smells. Never smoked in. Original stereo works and sounds good, has a light bulb out and hard to see display at night. Key-less entry alarm works. The drivers side sun visor sags just slightly. It has the dealer installed Burl Wood dash application that is in pretty good shape overall. Many times I'll remove this but this one still looks pretty good. I removed the wood on the two front doors as it didn't look good.

Overall this Cruiser is very much above for this vintage. One of the very best body styles and solid front axle. One of the last 80's produced with a 10/97 production date. Really appears to have been street and highway driven with no evidence of off-road use. It will need to have the birfields serviced soon as they are seeping a little bit. Enjoy as is or add an Old Man Emu lift to make it even more awesome.
