per month-call 636-600-4600 In need of a classic way to head off of
the beaten path, to make your own trail? MotoeXotica Classic Cars
is proud to present this 1971 Toyota FJ-40 Land Cruiser Hardtop.
Finished in a gecko green Kevlar Rhino paint inside and out, the
color is eye-catching but very rugged. The paint and trim are in
overall excellent order, however there is a minor crack on the
driver's side door near the side glass. The truck has new windows
and weather-stripping while the lights are in overall satisfactory
condition. Overall, the truck's bodywork is straight and solid. The
rear cargo area is in very good condition and the bumpers fit well
to the truck's body. While it is equipped with a winch, it is
inoperable. This FJ-40 rides on 235/75R15 light truck tires, each
surrounding white, vented wheels. In front are locking hubs and
there is a full-sized spare tire on the rear cargo door. Under the
hood is Toyota's 3.9L straight six-cylinder engine (code F) with a
Weber carburetor upgrade. The top and bottom ends of the engine
were rebuilt in 2000. The crank, connecting rods and clutch
assembly came from a 1972 F2 motor. The cylinders and crank
journals/saddles were bored, new bearings were installed, along
with a new oil pump. The CAM/CAM bearings replaced while valves,
which were in good condition, were left as-is. Engine has new seals
throughout. Behind the motor is a rebuilt three-speed manual
transmission from Spectre Off-Road. Inside, the new black
upholstery and instrument panel, with its full array of gauges,
look great. Obviously, there's no carpeting to worry about and the
underside of the white hardtop is in satisfactory shape,
considering its age. The three-spoke steering wheel and inner door
panels are in fine form and the shifter looks good. This is an
audio delete model. A unique gauge is the Lev-O-Gage, an
inclinometer which measures the vehicle's angle of tilt relative to
horizontal, in this case, from -45� to 45�. There is also a floor
heater. The original engine design started in the early 1950s when
Toyota had begun to export their vehicles internationally. The F
engine block, crankshaft and lower end assembly is loosely based on
the 1939-63 G.M.C. 235 CID straight six-cylinderbut with a taller
deck and built under license. The cylinder head and combustion
chamber are derived from the Chevrolet L6 OHV "Stovebolt" engine,
slightly scaled up. The general idea was consumers would feel
comfortable with the engine since it was a familiar design and had
a proven track record. None of the bottom end of the Toyota engine
is interchangeable with these other engines. Driver convenience
features include power-assisted four-wheel drum brakes. A former
owner reported that this truck was bought used in 1999 then sold to
his father three years later. It was mainly used to collect wood.
His father passed away in 2013 and the son sold the vehicle
sometime in 2014. Competition to this Toyota in 1971 included
Chevrolet's K-5 Blazer, Ford's Bronco, GMC's Jimmy,
International-Harvester's Scout and Jeep's CJ-5. This truck is
currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri. Current
mileage on the odometer shows 46,754 miles. It is sold as is, where
is, on a clean and clear, mileage exempt title. GET OUT AND
