Up for auction is this 1972 Land cruiser fj55 survivor.  This is completely original from the paint to the radio.  It was bought locally here in Colville Washington and has spent all its life in the area.  I am the fourth owner and there is a collection of original registrations in the glove box dating back to 1972 which shows the previous owners.  The older gentleman I got it from owned it for the last 20+ years and it spent the last 3 years sitting behind his barn where I found it.  After getting it home and adjusting the points it fired up and idled.  It still has very old gas in it that should be drained and I'm sure a tune up wouldn't hurt but it does start right up every time.  I replaced the water pump recently.  It has the original in-line 6 cylinder engine and 3 speed transmission.  The 4 wheel drive works great.  The windshield is cracked and the rear electric window does not operate.  It is complete but the glass is currently rolled down.  All other glass is in excellent shape.  The interior is in excellent shape for its age.  The only thing not original here is the front seat has been re-upholstered and looks great.  The body is very straight and solid with very limited rust issues.  Both front fenders have areas of bubbling on the bottom corners.  Both rear quarter panels and corners have body damage shown in the pictures and video.  The roof, drip rails, rocker panels and floors are solid and straight.  All lights work except for both headlights.  I haven't taken the time to figure that one out yet.  The brakes work but definitely need gone through.  The few times I've driven it around the neighborhood, they pulled to the right.  The tires will need replaced due to age and weathering but they do hold air and I have driven around on them.  This fj55 is equipped with the rare PTO driven 8000 lb. Rhino winch.  I haven't gotten the winch to engage but the PTO does engage and the shaft spins as it should.  Another rare option is the chrome roof rack.  I've only seen one other with this option, it is very cool and in great shape!  All chrome trim is in great shape except for the rear reflectors and the license plate light housing.  If you've been looking for one of these, you know how hard it is to find one in this nice original shape without being modified or restored.  You won't be disappointed with this fj55.  The following is a link to a You-tube video, http://youtu.be/BmNwk_C6vtc
Please ask any questions you have before bidding.  Once again, this is a NO-RESERVE auction so good luck!

 After tinkering with the headlights for a bit tonight, they started working.  Seemed to be either corrosion or short in the switch.  So all the lights work now, nice and bright!
