This FJ45LV ( I call her Blue) is a daily driver, no modifications at all. All original besides the paint, the mirrors (have an original set), tires, and the upholstery. Has always been garage kept unless out driving it, yes it has seen rainy days and a lot of river crossings, it is not a garage queen and its meant to be driven.It has a little superficial rust but nothinggoing through its bodyas far as I can tell, it can be easily taken cared of when the next owner is ready to paint her. Will need new weather strip on corner vent windows, gauges work as good as an older wagon. NEW brake system calipers, master cylinder, clutch cylinder and slave (add to the not original list, but I do have originals in box) battery is about a year old.Very smooth engine and nice 3 speed gearbox. She is still very reliable, I drive it all the time around ATL now that she has retired to the suburbs, but it does not mean that she can not be taken out again for a fun weekend.My father was the original owner. Blue (her name) will be sold with a bill of sale and its located in Atlanta, GA.I have some extra parts that will go with her: engine and gear box mounts, paper oil filters, fuel filters and other bushings that I meant to change but have not had the chance to do so. The jack was lost sometime between 1977 and 2010, I do have an original inspection light and a 70's SOS radio with the magnetic antenna.A little history even though you may have read it before:About 5000 FJ45s were built between 1963 and 1967 out of those only 1,000 were FJ45LV. the L is for the left hand drive. those LVs were imported to North, Central and South America. Many believe that all 1,000 were imported only to USA but that is wrong information.Gifu Auto Body Co. built them by hand and you can tell by the weld marks on the body, many of them have been sanded down after body work and paint jobs, Blue still has them all and were not touched.Buyer will be held responsible for shipping to final destination, I could keep her until buyer gets shipping situated.
