1985 Toyota FJ45 Troopy

Vehicle Description

Up for auction is my 1985 Toyota FJ45 Troopy. (I had to list it as a 1980 on Ebay, because the VIN only has 10 digits, and in creating the listing, if the vehicle is later than 1981, it must be 11-14 digits). It is a frame off, nut and bolt restoration. I bought it 5 years ago, while in South America on vacation . I was unable to get it to the USA because of the pandemic with the land borders closed in South America. I spent the money on having it restored there. I was finally able to get it home last January, but to my surprise, it is too nice for what I want to use it for. I wanted to use it in the sand and on the beach at a nearby reservoir. I would rather have a "driver" quality rig for that purpose. The green color is perfect for the rig. The body work and paint work are top notch. The interior in all new. The entire drive train was completely gone through, from radiator to rear end. It has factory power steering, and power disk brakes. The wheels have been powder coated Toyota blue, with nos hubcaps, and new oversized tires. Factory spare tire carrier. The 2f engine starts with a bump of the key, and runs very well with the 4 speed. It still retains the 4.11 rear end gearing. This is a rare opportunity for a left hand drive Troopy, that is turn key, to be available for purchase.
