The car has 29,000 original miles on her.

The Land Cruiser is a stretch version of the Commander 4 door sedan. The engine is 232 c.i. V8, this car has a manual 3 speed transmission with overdrive plus the famous HILLHOLDER (clutch operated brake). The bars on the front are optional Van Auken bars to protect the front end
