FridgePresented here is an extremely special GCC spec Land Cruiser
with loads of unique options. The Toyota also happens to have low
miles and one owner since new. A great spec Land Cruiser looking
for a new home. This is a great unmolested example which would be a
spectacular daily driver or a blank canvas for an epic build! The
undercarriage is the driest we have seen since it was sourced from
the desert.Not really sure where to start because there are sooooo
many cool features not found on the 80 series sold here in the US!
The GCC spec (Gulf Cooperation Council) refers to vehicles that are
manufactured to meet the regulations of the Gulf Cooperation
Council countries, which includes the United Arab Emirates, Saudi
Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, and Qatar. The GCC options include a
carbureted 1FZ-F, 5 speed manual transmission, part time 4wd, swing
open back doors, rear cargo area A/C, rear cargo inward facing
bench seats, rear AC, manual cloth front seats, gold grill, gold
emblem, smooth roof (no roof rack), sub fuel tank, rear tire
carrier, and a fridge in the center console. The Land Cruiser is
powered by a carbureted 1FZ-F (not to be confused with the fuel
injected FE version) 24-valve, 4.5 L (4,477 cc) DOHC straight-6
gasoline engine with 188 HP and 268 foot-pound of torque. A factory
H151F 5 speed manual transmission and a hi/low range transfer case
that features part time 4wd. In contrast all of the US spec 80
series had an automatic transmission and full time four wheel
drive. The axle code shows a K294 which translates to a 9.5'
4:100:1 4 Pinion differential putting traction to the ground.The
exterior of this Land Cruiser is finished in the factory original
Dark Emerald Green Pearl (Toyota Color Code 6M1). Visually from the
front you will see a gold grill and hood ornament (which has some
fading from the sun) but also notice the 'slick roof' which does
not have a factory roof rack or moonroof. Swing Open Back (aka
Ambulance Doors) Doors and a rear tire carrier can be seen from the
rear of the vehicle. The rear mounted spare tire allows for a
factory Sub Fuel tank (secondary fuel tank) mounted between the
frame rails and behind the rear axle. Yes, you read that
correctly... this Land Cruiser was built with two fuel tanks from
the factory!On the interior there are several GCC features. The
upholstery is a combination of grey cloth with a patterned insert
with dark grey carpets. The front seats are manually adjusted, an
added bonus for any 80 series owner who has suffered through
replacing the power seat gears. The dash is simplified due to the
lack of factory airbags and some changes in features. An overhead
altimeter and sub fuel gauge can be found above the manual
transmission shifter. A special ordered Fridge Center Console
(Toyota part 445410-0060) capable of keeping beverages cold or
apparently making ice cubes is found between the front seats. We
did not test it's ice making ability (yet but Friday is Cinco De
Mayo) but we did verify the cooler box is functional with our temp
gun. In the cargo area of the vehicle your passengers can ride in
comfort with inward facing bench seats for a total of 4 people
(total vehicle seating capacity of 9) and a rear air conditioner.
Please note: the rear cargo seating does not have seat belts as it
was built this way from the factory. Upgrades and Features:Low

Land Cruiser FZJ80 with GCC specs, rear ambulance doors, rear bench
seats, factory fridge center console, part-time 4WD, and rear cargo
AC is a special and unique vehicle. With only one owner and low
miles, it is a rare find that is sure to provide reliable and
capable transportation for years to come. Recent maintenance
includes vacuum lines, spark plugs, wires, and heater control
valve. The Land Cruiser will need shocks which we replace as part
of the asking price. We did not want to replace the shocks due to
the high probability the next owner will be making their own
modifications! Why not put that money towards good use and a new
lift?Body Data Plate Information:Factory Build InformationModel
