This 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43 is said to have been imported to the U.S. from Colombia approximately one year ago, after receiving a comprehensive restoration. Refinished in red over black upholstery, it is powered by a 4.2-liter 2F inline-six engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Driven approximately 2,500 kilometers since the restoration, it is now being offered for auction by its seller out of New Jersey.

The seller would like you to know: “Thank you for visiting my auction. I have owned this car for over a year and store it in a climate-controlled garage. All maintenance is up to date. The car is completely stocked with a brand-new set of tires installed last year. It was purchased in Colombia and underwent a complete restoration. Upon arriving in the USA a year ago, it only has 2,200 miles on the odometer.”
