1962 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Soft Top
1962 Toyota Land Cruiser
This 1962 FJ-40 was bought purchased new in Bolder, Colorado. It was used and lived at the Eldora Mines Ski Area. This rare Cruiser had a hand-crafted hard top, which ended up saving the truck form a rusty death.
When we picked it up, it barely ran and was running on 3 cylinders. Nothing worked at that time...no lights, blinkers, the transfer case was blown up, the shifter was broken, the cooling system was in need of repair and the alternator was installed improperly.
It is now running and driving and ready for a new owner!
