Is that a young Ivan “Ironman” Stewart piloting the 1963 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45V?
Don’t think so as THE “IRONMAN” was 18 years old in ’63 and didn’t sign with Toyota until 1983.
But it made us do a double-take while reading Jon Branch of Silodrome story “A Brief History Of The Mighty Toyota Land Cruiser J60.”
He penned that “only 1,000 examples of the FJ45V where made in left hand drive for the North American market, these being designated the FJ45LV, the “L” denoting left hand drive.”
We are faithfully restoring this one at present.
