Vehicle Description
This 1977 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser is the perfect mix of vintage
and new. After all, this classic 4x4 can still live up to its
go-anywhere reputation today thanks to a full restoration and an
upgrade to small block V8 power.
The bold blue is a terrific color on this one. After all, it looks
quite close to the Voodoo Blue that made Toyota's recent FJ
Cruisers so distinctive. This classic FJ40 Land Cruiser has been
given plenty of recent investments to make it relevant in modern
times. In fact, all the darker elements really highlight the
investment in superior 4x4 toughness. It includes the tough metal
bumper with integrated bull bar, diamond plate rockers & side
steps, and reinforced swing-away rear tire bracket. Plus, those
Devino wheels are equal parts style and robustness. Even the high
discharge headlight look a bit darker when they're not switched on.
When the black folding roof is in place, the whole presentation is
almost like a two-tone.
The interior is built for both plenty of function and plenty of
comfort. The full Land Cruiser panel has been painted the same
exterior blue, and now it has auxiliary gauges to supplement all
the vital info. The seats look great wrapped in newer Bestop
covers. Plus, you have a center console in-between the front
buckets. Not only is this a good place to lock away any valuables,
but it also keeps the AM/FM/CD stereo from harm in case it gets
muddy out on the trail.
Under the hood is a terrific upgrade to a 350 cubic-inch V8. We
love these Toyotas for their near indestructible reputation, and
the Chevy small block unit shares that kind of status. At the same
time, this upgrade and its four-barrel carburetor offer a huge
added helping of extra power and torque. You can control it all
thanks to the four-speed manual transmission. But more than just a
motor upgrade, this whole setup was invested in to create a
superior go-anywhere machine. This includes a lifted stance, BDS
shocks, Toyota two-speed transfer case, front disc brakes, and
Nitto Trail Grappler tires with deep grooves.
Here's an international symbol for toughness that has been upgraded
to go beyond its unbreakable reputation. This is everything you
love about a Land Cruiser with plenty of extra power, too. Don't
let it slip away. Call now!
