1979 Toyota Land Cruiser Troop Carrier Description

My Troop Carrier is for sale. "The Beast" is in very very good shape. Spent north of $140 k on this truck and now it's time to pay for college. I know I can't get that investment back...(and in retrospect... augh) but if you want something that is in remarkable shape for it's age - and recipient of a great deal of attention this is your truck. it is unstoppable and gets more attention at shows and around than a new Husky puppy.

Truck repaired and rust proofed 2018, touch up welding.

Estimated total miles on truck 250,000+ Originally from the Outback – in Aus.

Brought to the US around 2010. Body off resto in 2012-2013. 50k miles driven since then. Truck is used frequently in short trips. Truck from Aus was bone dry and pretty much rust free - as it was a good resto candidate - that is exactly what we did.

Will consider PARTIAL trade for Rubicon or Sahara with less than 50k miles. Please... I know that these are cult items... I know that they're cool. But please, I'm very busy working if you reach out please be interested in buying not chatting.
