For Sale: 1980 Toyota Land Cruiser in Volo, Illinois

Vehicle Description

The world's toughest 4 wheel drive! This one has received a detailed frame off restoration top to bottom and looks amazing. This is a very capable vehicle that is just as comfortable on paved roads as it is on the trails! It's received a fresh $23,000 mechanical rebuild, in addition to a very rare and desirable pickup truck conversion that is both practical and esthetically pleasing. Prices of these Land Cruisers are soaring high with one hitting $266,800 recently!

EXTERIOR: This color really stands out in the crowd! It has fresh looking and neatly applied Olive Brown paint that was polished to a reflective and glossy finish. Every bolt has been replaced and it's complete with a new cloth soft top. The rear has roll-up side curtains, the plastic is as clear as glass. It's equipped with a very desirable pickup truck bed and an extended cab providing extra storage behind the front seats. It has a fold down windshield with some insignificant scratches. New rubber seals on all the windows. It also has beefy BFG All-Terrain tires mounted to the correct 15" steel wheels with polished hub caps. It is decked out with a wireless 6000 pound electronic witch, halogen fog lights, large LED light bar, and a high lift jack.

INTERIOR: A utilitarian interior that's been completely refinished! The seats have been reupholstered and look like new. Very nice "Land Cruiser" door panels were also installed. The extended cab gives you a huge storage area behind the seats. Inside the doors and dash were nicely painted the same color as the body. It has a 3 spoke steering wheel and electronic wipers. The ignition and door seals were just replaced. It's also furnished with a 160 km/h speedometer and additional gages for oil pressure, coolant temperature, amperage, and fuel level too. The steering column, steering wheel, 4 speed manual shifter, and 4 wheel drive selector knobs all look original. The floor has been covered with vinyl that fits perfectly. It has a very finished look with bound edges and can be easily hosed down after off roading. It also has 3 point safety belts and a dash mounted grab bar on the passenger side.

ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Fresh and clean! It has received a fresh mechanical rebuild in 2023 totaling almost $23,000! That included replacement of the 4.2 liter 2F inline 6 cylinder engine and much more. It is equipped with power steering and power brakes. The battery is properly secured. All the hoses, wires and belts have been replaced. The radiator was upgraded to an aluminum unit. The horn is hooked up. The underside of the hood, fender wells, and firewall are all painted slick just like the body.

TRUNK COMPARTMENT: The truck bed is accessed via a folding tailgate. The back side of the tailgate and jamb is painted just like the body. The entire bed has been smoothed and has neatly applied paint that is also body color.

UNDERSIDE: The steering components underneath look fresh, and it just got new tie rod ends plus an alignment. All of the shocks were replaced. The brake system and dual range transfer case were recently serviced. It has a new exhaust system that was just fabricated. Looking up at the motor it is virtually spotless with a fresh rebuild. The transmission also appears to be serviced. The rear end looks fresh just like the transfer case. The floors are solid and rust free with gold colored floorboards. The frame was also prepped and painted and has new body mounts as well.

SERVICE: Our lead mechanic thoroughly inspected this vehicle and we replaced the reverse light switch, replaced the ignition switch, repaired the turn signal wiring, repaired the headlight wiring, replaced the radio, rewired the winch relay, modified the window regulators, and replaced the door cylinder locks.

Toyota goes where wheels never went before! Jump in the driver's seat of this one and go anywhere your heart desires. With the reliability of a fresh inline 6 cylinder engine and an extension frame off restoration there is nothing that can stop you and the serious off road capabilities of this truck!

I, Jay Grams, take pride in personally writing the descriptions for virtually every car for about the last 30 years now. A significant amount of effort goes into fact checking. What I am offering is my professional impression of the vehicle. Our salesmen are happy to assist with descriptions and making sure your questions are answered. One great suggestion is letting us do a walk around video that explains the car's condition in detail. **These cars are displayed in a museum. If interested in a particular car, make an appointment with a salesman to see that car. Without an appointment there is an admission fee to enter the showroom. If you buy a car, your admission will be refunded, and you will be given a 1 year membership.
