Details

This matching-numbers 1957 Toyota Land Cruiser was restored to its original standards by House of Cruisers in Miami, FL. It underwent a full frame-off, nut-and-bolt, rotisserie restoration that attended to both cosmetic and mechanical aspects. It is powered by a refurbished matching-numbers 105hp, 3.8-liter F-type overhead-valve 6-cylinder engine with the block number matching that of the firewall tag. The engine is mated to its original 4-speed manual transmission and features rebuilt original drum brakes, a new aluminized exhaust system by Vetusil and was fully serviced and resealed. The car is equipped with OEM axles. Inside, the seats are covered in brown leather upholstery, with matching boots for the gear shift, transfer case selector and hand brake. Custom mats protect the floors, and a pair of OEM replica straps keep occupants in place. It features the original cluster and nicely restored dash switches, an old Toyota original yellow jack, the owner's manual, the original steering wheel, original Toyota emblems in the front panels and hood, plus clean and original chrome strips on the horizontal grille. It rolls on body-color steel wheels fitted with fresh, period-correct Firestone Military tires with new period-correct dog-dish hubcaps. Comes with the original side-mounted spare wheel.
