Equipment
2F engine, Pioneer cassette stereo.
Condition
Unrestored and used but maintained engine bay. Very clean unrestored frame. Original paint with chips and scratches here and there, plus all the paint is rubbed off at the back of the left front wheel well, but it's still presentable. The bed isn't beat up at all. The interior is in remarkable condition. Most old Land Cruisers are either beat to hell or have been restored by now. It's really unusual to see one like this that has been very well preserved and totally unrestored. That it's a rare FJ-45 pickup version makes it even more noteworthy.
Market commentary
Yes, this is a nifty and fairly rare pickup-bodied vintage Land Cruiser, but Mecum also consigned nearly 50 vintage Land Cruisers for Kissimmee this year, including another FJ-45 that was fresh from a body-off restoration. It will probably sell better in a field that isn't so saturated.
