Elite Land Cruisers in partnership with Export Cruisers Company is proud to present the latest rare, professional
frame off, nut and bolt, bare metal, mechanical running gear and engine restoration in one of the most sought after
and rare Land Cruiser configurations.
Presenting the 1963 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Factory Short Bed in Toyota Heath Grey #113
This was the first year for the FJ45 Pickup Series and this VIN number is one of the few earliest known in the
world to still exist. In fact, factory short beds are extremely rare and had unique features not found on the long
bed pickups. A fixed hard top version like this one was only available early as later years went to the removable
hard top. This rare Land Cruiser was a special order into Costa Rica in 1962 and it arrived in 1963 when it was
first titled. Technically built in 1962 but sold in 1963 it received an original 1963 title as was the common
practice. The Land Cruiser found its way into Panama from Costa Rica in the 70s where an engineer who worked for
the Panama Canal owned it, but it returned to Costa Rica in 1985 where it was used for general errand use for years
in the central valley near San Jose before it was rescued by our team and brought back better than new.
Our restorations are not “refreshes” like some who try to pass them off as restorations. We can provide you
references to our executive clients. These are the real deal, like new Land Cruisers- New steel fenders, beds,
floor, pans and absolutely no patching or bondo.
It is a stunning example of a professional, no expense spared, proper restoration. The ultimate missing link for a
private collector, museum, enthusiast with the sought-after color, year, and original Toyota F Engine Powertrain.
This is a Japan built global spec Toyota Land Cruiser.
