He's not sitting behind a desk overseeing this work. There's plenty of grease under this restorers fingernails. \n\u200b\nThere are no issues like rust, dent's or dings with this Land Cruiser FJ25. It is a work of art that maintains the essence of a factory-original while brimming with craftsmanship that you will enjoy every time you get behind the wheel. You simply will not be able to drive it without attracting a hoard of admiring fans! \n\nThis FJ25 L, B type is special. It has rear OEM Military beach seats. It was mostly used for Army purposes and as a Presidential vehicle.\n\nThe soft top is hand crafted of beautiful canvas to OEM specs. Clear windows are heavy duty plastic. Starter and generator as factory versus most FJ25's which have been converted using an alternator. Military Tires 600\u00d716 per factory specs. \n\n\u200bYou won't likely find another FJ25 like this. It's as close as you can get to getting in a time machine and going back to 1960 to buy a new one. Attention to details is obvious at a glance and even more apparent on close inspection.
