1980 Toyota Land Cruiser Description

1983 Toyota Land Cruiser for sale.

ATTENTION, this truck is 1983, but entered on EBay as 1980 because of a short VIN number (non American)

This truck was restored a few years ago, by previous owner. Although the current condition is very good without any mechanical issues or rust, it is not a show room truck. I will call it a nice driver instead of a garage queen.

Mechanically is as good as it can be, but had some paint imperfections and two noticeable dents in the passenger fender (see pics). The frame is solid, with no rust and straight. Frame was powder coated for lasting protection.

The speedometer mileage is inaccurate, the odometer was 323000 kilometers but it was not working. I got it fixed, for that reason the odometer was reset. I drove this truck for 300 something kilometers without any issues the last 2 months.

This truck is a reliable vehicle on the top of the driver scale. 1980-84 years are the desired FJ family trucks.

This particular truck features power steering and 5 speed, which make it a daily driver easily and highway friendly.

After 1980 these Toyota trucks had better and prettier doors and overall better design, they also appreciate in value the best.

This truck is very reliable and strong. It does not smoke, and all the light works. Tires and brakes are new.

I have no records of the restorations, or any invoices. I do have a owners manual for it. The truck is missing these things:


1-Jack and tools

2-tamdem rear axle

I recommend coming to see the truck before bidding or send a mechanic, as I want to be as clear as possible. I try to describe it as accurate as possible and take the most pics as possible, showing the sensitive points in the truck

This truck is completely rust free. All the panels are clean and steel. There are no funny Aluminum pieces on this truck, FJs are notorious for rust, it is incredible to find rust free trucks like this.

The body is true and straight with no hidden rust, or the common ugly black gravel lining paint underneath of the car to cover rust. The paint is beautiful and shinny, It has front fender scratch that happened during transportation and the nicks and small bruces from being driven and used.

Seats had been upholstered to original specifications.

The interior is very clean and in excellent shape, everything works as it should other than the radio and the small digital clock.

No heater on this truck, it came like this from factory but one can be easily sourced and installed if needed for colder States.

This Fj has a stock Toyota inline 2F motor that burns clean. Real kilometers are unknown. This engines are known to go over 500.000 miles easy. the truck does not leak, or smoke, engine is strong and healthy.

I recently changed all filters, oil and a new starter installed. The clutch, 5 speed trans and case all operate perfectly. Brakes are in good shape.

Original 16 in wheels with new tires even the spare tire. There are no aftermarket installations, therefore no splits on the electrical harness or electrical headaches.

There are no big issues with this truck, this is the type of Toyota you want to buy, honest. This truck is a joy to drive and will provide years of trouble free service with proper care and maintenance, but please expect to tinker like any other vintage vehicle from time to time. There is nothing pending to do on this truck at this moment.


This truck is registered in Vancouver BC. I will give you a title registration and a bill of sale. It is sold “as is” no warranty.

$500 non refundable deposit due at the end of the auction and the balance between 8 days of ending.

I can help shipping the truck to any state in USA or country.
