BJ60 � Simple, Durable, Capable, Comfortable, Reliable, Beautiful.
These are the words that describe the Toyota Land Cruiser 60
series. �€" everything FJ60.com � Attention: Land Cruiser fans:
You've just found, quite probably, the finest BJ60 Land Cruiser on
the internet, and indeed, one of the finest examples available
anywhere. Like any boast, that statement requires proof.
Fortunately, this 1985 light-blue metallic, diesel BJ60 is long on
documentation proof for its stunning reincarnation. � Purchased out
of Canada via Michigan by the current owner in 2014, this legendary
vehicle underwent a painstaking four-year transformation to its
impressive current condition. Better than new is no exaggeration
whatsoever. Since Land Cruiser owners (and shoppers) generally are
a knowledgeable crowd, one not given to taking slick advertising
claims at face value, here are the facts to support the
superlatives for this example of the legendary Land Cruiser.
