This 1983 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 is a South American-market example that was imported to the U.S. from Venezuela by the previous owner in 2018. It was subsequently treated to a full restoration by TotalCruiser of Miami, including a rebuild of the 4.2-liter inline-six engine and a 5-speed manual transmission swap. The exterior was refinished in beige with contrasting side decals, and the cabin has been redone with brown vinyl and striped tan cloth upholstery. The truck also features Dynamat sound insulation, an upgraded Rockford Fosgate sound system, a rearview camera, a Sony Touchscreen head unit, air conditioning, a 2.5” Old Man Emu suspension lift kit, an 80-Series Land Cruiser steering box, a Performance Distributors D.U.I. distributor, a 2-speed transfer case, manual-locking front hubs, and chrome 15” wheels with BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires. Acquired by the seller earlier in 2025, this restored and tastefully upgraded 60-Series Land Cruiser is now being offered for auction out of South Carolina.
This Land Cruiser was disassembled and refinished in beige during the restoration in 2018. The exterior features contrasting black, brown, and orange side decals, chrome bumpers and trim pieces, dual chrome mirrors, Koito H4 headlamps, a power antenna, a rear window wiper, a split folding tailgate, and chrome 15” wheels with BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2 tires. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The cabin has been lined with Dynamat sound insulation and redone with brown vinyl upholstery accented by striped tan cloth inserts on the seats and door panels. Accessories include manually adjustable front bucket seats, a folding rear bench seat, a brown three-spoke steering wheel, brown seatbelts, manual roll-up windows, a center console storage bin, cup holders, a locking glovebox, air conditioning, and a Sony touchscreen head unit with Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a rearview camera. The sound system has been upgraded with a Rockford Fosgate 5-channel amplifier, subwoofer, and speakers. A new speedometer was installed during the restoration, and the original gauge is included in the sale.
Rated at 135 HP and 210 lb-ft of torque, the carbureted 4.2-liter inline-six engine was rebuilt during the restoration, including new pistons, bearings, belts, hoses, a new oil pump, oil cooler, alternator, carburetor, radiator, fan clutch, and intake and exhaust manifolds. It drives the rear or all four wheels through a replacement 5-speed H55F manual transmission and a 2-speed transfer case. The truck is equipped with manually locking front hubs, a 2.5” Old Man Emu suspension lift kit, an Old Man Emu steering stabilizer, an 80-Series land Cruiser steering box, and Performance Distributors D.U.I. distributor. Other items replaced during the restoration include the fuel tank, voltage regulator, ignition switch, and clutch kit.
This sale will include owner’s manuals, a toolkit, restoration documents, the original speedometer, and a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “It is a clean, well-built LC. Someone will be very pleased!”

Don’t let this one slip away! No leaks or squeaks. Super clean and a real solid driver. Good luck everyone!!
@bryane results are announced post auction. Highest bidder is given first chance if reserve not reached. Vehicle then goes to DEAL TANK where anyone can make an offer post auction if a Reserve not reached or if a deal is not made with the top bidder. Best of luck.
Newbie here. Will the page indicate that reserve has been met, or does that show up after the action ends?
Final hours! Happy to answer any questions. Good luck and thank you!

Things have changed and I need the funds for a diff project. Also this LC was much nicer than I expected. I’d feel terrible getting this one off road. That’s how clean it is! Lol
BEAUTIFUL CRUISER!! I remember seeing this earlier in the year. Just curious, why the quick resale after only about 300 miles since purchase?
Bid in the amount of $4,000
Welcome to my auction! This LC is so clean. Pics don’t do it justice. The former owner and Total Cruisers really did an incredible job with this one! Everything operates as it should. No leaks. AC blows cold and heat blows hot. Will make a great vehicle and member of someone’s family. Happy to answer any questions. Thank you and good luck!
