CALIFORNIA 4X4, RUNS & DRIVES GREAT, RECENT FACELIFT W/FRESH PAINT & UPHOLSTERY!

1987 Toyota Land Cruiser

It wasn't the first, ut there's certainly an argument to be made that the Toyota Land Cruiser was among the best 4x4s ever built. Legendary reliability, ots of interior space, nd surprisingly civilized road manners make vehicles like this 1987 Land Cruiser a great choice if you like your legends to be practical.This Land Cruiser has been under the care of just two owners and spent all but the last few months in sunny California. As a result, t looks incredible and there are no nasty surprises waiting underneath. You can also be sure that it's been properly maintained and thanks to Toyota reliability, t'll probably outlast us all. The blue bodywork has a utilitarian look that Toyota put to work as their top-of-the-line model, uch the way Range Rover did, reating the luxury SUV market we enjoy today. This one isn't soft, owever, nd its off-roading credentials are rock-solid. The paint is brand new and shines like it did on the sales floor in 1987, anel fit is impressive, ines are clean, ll making up a look that is at home on the road or in the mud. The big luggage rack on the roof adds a Daktari look that works best on vehicles like this, ut chrome bumpers and tinted windows suggest civilization was never far away. Overall, his is one very nicely presented Land Bruiser. You can see the early stages of the Land Cruiser's gentrification inside, here you have handsome cloth bucket seats and all the creature comforts. The seats are freshly re-covered, arpets have been re-laid, nd door panels are original and in remarkable condition for their age. The dash is typical '80s Japan, nc., ith lots of gray plastic and angular shapes, ut we dig the big, ound gauges and matching A/C vents that add some contrast. Features like a 4-speed manual transmission would disappear when the Land Cruiser moved up-market, ut for now, his one retains its off-road superiority. There's an AM/FM/cassette stereo in the dash, he A/C has been upgraded to R134a refrigerant, nd there's a tilt steering column that makes it quite easy to get comfortable behind the wheel. Second-row space is impressive and the cargo bay is fully carpeted and opens with a unique two-way tailgate that makes for easy loading. The Toyota engineers were nothing if not thoughtful.Toyota's DOHC 4.2 liter inline-six is silky smooth and perhaps that's why it stayed in service for so long. It's quite tractable with the 4-speed manual transmission and pulls the big 4x4 around without seeming to work very hard. It's not fast, ut you know it'll get you wherever you're going regardless of weather or terrain. It has been properly serviced all its life, nd if you're familiar with Toyota Land Cruisers, ou'll shrug off any concerns of sustained usage because you realize that if you take care of it, his sucker should run for a good, ong time to come. The underside is shockingly clean, ffering all the evidence that you need that California is the best place to be a motor vehicle. The skid plates, xles, prings, nd other hardware all look decades younger than they are and even the exhaust system looks pretty good. Chrome wheels are properly-sized for the Land Cruiser and carry 235/75/15 Dunlop off-road radials.The presentation and practicality of this Land Cruiser is really impressive, nd for many of us, t offers just the right balance between luxury and rugged capability.
