Vehicle Description
This vintage 1981 Mustard Yellow FJ43 features a stage 1 frame-off restoration and is absolutely beautiful. Imported from Columbia, it is left-hand drive and gasoline-powered. It boasts a brand new replica soft top and also has a rebuilt engine, transmission, transfer case, axles, as well as all mechanicals. It has been completely rewired and includes brand new Toyota turn signals and brake lights. It also features all-new suspension, exhaust, tires, and upholstery. Bumper to bumper, this FJ has been meticulously restored as can be seen in the 200+ photos below as well as in the video overview below.
The FJ43 is a longer version of the FJ40, and was never offered to the United States, which makes this FJ incredibly special for a couple reasons: 1) It offers extra room in the rear with the extra long folding jump seats and a front split bench seat with seating up to 7 and 2) There are very few of these on the road in the United States, and even fewer in this condition.
If you’re looking at other Land Cruisers, keep in mind that this is left hand drive (as opposed to many right hand drive Cruisers hitting the market in the U.S., which are awful to drive as you feel completely disoriented driving from the passenger seat) and it’s the more desirable gasoline 2F motor as opposed to a diesel, which makes it harder to source parts.
Whether you’re in the market for a beach cruiser, mountain cruiser, daily driver, head-turning vehicle for your business, or a new vehicle for your classic car collection, this rare Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43 fits the bill.

About the 43 Series Land Cruiser:
The FJ43 is a stretched version of the FJ40 and was not made available to the U.S. market. Features front disc brakes, drums in the rear, a front 60/40 split bench seat and extra long jump seats in the back. Powered by Toyota’s 2F engine, the exact same set up that was in an 1981 FJ40 but without the smog equipment. Because of the warm weather in Columbia, this FJ43 does not have a heating or A/C system, but one could be added quite easily.
