Now on to the truck:
1997 Toyota Land Cruiser, 4WD, 4x4 with center differential locks only. White/gray leather interior, California since year 2001.ZERO rust.Look at all the photos. Clean CarFax, no accidents. 2 owner rig.
This is solid 100% stock Land Cruiser. Was purchased new in Florida and spent less than 4 years there before coming to California.
4.5 Liter fuel injected straight 6, automaticfull-time 4x4 (4WD) with low range. Moonroof, 3rd row seats, running boards, receiver hitch.
It runs, drives, brakes and shifts perfectly and is a pleasure to drive. Has a little more power and pep than a lot of 80 Series i have owned. Shifts into 4 low super smoothly.
Most everything works on this cruiser. All the powerwindows work great. Drivers and passenger power seat gears are slow and I have put both seats ingoodspot and unplugged them so they don't get moved. The power mirrors, 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 it broken off but radio works well.
California plates are good until March 2018 and just passed California smog
The exterior has 100%original Toyota OEM body panels but there are some paint issues. The hood must have beenscratched in the past and repainted quite poorly. Please look closely at the hood, it's original to the truck but the paint sucks. The left sidefront quarter panel and both doors have poor paint. Looks like years ago when the hood was painted they clear coated the side. Again look closely at these areas. I have been quoted $2500 to have the hood, left side, rear hatch and front bumper painted with blending of the right frontquarter panel. Other than the paint issues it's a great original 80 Series. Idecided to sell it as it sets now. (Great blank canvas. Run andenjoyas is or modify to suit your needs) 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. It's ready for new tires.
The interior is in very, very good original condition.All original seats, carpet, leather etc. The leather seats are original and have held up quite well. The fronts seats have a little wear but the 2nd and 3rd row look brand new. The dash controls, the dash plastics, the console, the gear shifts, the carpet, the headliner are very nice. No funny smells. Never smoked in. Original stereo works and sounds pretty good. Overalltheinterior is very nice and doesn't need much attention.
One of the very best body styles and solid front axle. One of the last 80's produced. Really appears to have been street and highway driven with no evidence of off-road use. Seepage from the rear main seal area. Enjoy as is or add an Old Man Emu lift to make it even more awesome.
