1985 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 - Restoration

Location: Danville, CA

Why It’s Curated:  This is a very nice looking FJ60 Land Cruiser for sale, two years from a complete engine and suspension rebuild and a new interior, at what seems to be a very reasonable price.  We find that FJ60s are either in need of work or have had every modification possible put on them.  This is a refreshing, stock example, with updated mechanical and cosmetic condition.
