Description
The FJ45 long-wheelbase pickup is the rarest body style in the entire FJ40 series. Where the FJ40 was everywhere, the FJ45 pickup was produced in comparatively small numbers and today represents one of the most collectible configurations in the Land Cruiser world. Clean, documented examples in Europe are genuinely scarce — most are in Japan, Australia, or the United States.
This one is in Barcelona, already EU customs-cleared, VAT paid, and ready to register anywhere in Europe or export worldwide.
The restoration
The truck was acquired in original condition.
Engine & drivetrain: engine rebuilt with new rings, connecting rod bearings, wrist pins, and valves reseated · new carburetor · new radiator · new air filter (period-correct oil bath type) · clutch fully replaced · all rubber hoses and gaskets replaced throughout
Chassis & suspension: treated and repainted in original black · new leaf springs all around · new steering arms and tie rod ends · all brake cylinders replaced front and rear · new brake pads, hoses, and hard lines throughout
Body & paint: original factory Beige 464, match of VIN colour code · bed floor refinished in black textured coating · all glass original
Electrical: complete wiring harness replaced front to rear — every circuit from tail lights to engine bay is new
Interior: cabin re-trimmed in period-correct fabric matching original VIN specification (Beige/ Tan) · original steering wheel retained · original dashboard switches and buttons retained · original door panels
The result is a truck that starts, runs, and drives — mechanically sound and correctly presented throughout. The odometer shows 5 km driven since restoration completion.
Engine: 2F 4. 2-litre inline-six petrol · Gearbox: 4-speed manual · Drive: left-hand drive · Colour: Beige 464 (factory, VIN-matched) · VIN: FJ45-243341 · Year: 1980, Canadian market specification
