Chassis no. FJ45937786. Light blue with white roof over black. 4230/125hp,4-speed, Warn winch, Old Man Emu suspension, modern air conditioning, Bluetooth stereo.

Evaluation: A fresh and overrestored FJ45 showing 27 km (17 miles) since completion. Represented as matching numbers engine, and everything under the hood is either new or restored. It is all spotless. The chassis, suspension and wheels all look brand new. Clean windows. Excellent interior. Better than new in every observable way.

Bottom Line: The FJ45 is a famously robust, capable off-roader that can haul friends and family through the rough and tumble or even just across your ranch in the Hill Country. But this one is too clean and at this price too expensive to really use as intended, and old FJs aren’t exactly a pleasure to drive on the road. The condition is seriously impressive, but what is the new owner supposed to do with it now?
