Vehicle Description
This recently restored 1970 Toyota FJ40 has outdoor fun written all
over it. With its soft top personality, quality A/C interior, and
overall cool look, it's a great classic 4x4 that will be as much
fun on the trails as it will be taking to out on the town.
Soft top FJs always look like they are ready for an exploration,
but this one does a particularly good job of being adventure-ready.
There only about 500 kilometers on the odometer since it's full
frame-off restoration. And not only does quoting a car in km always
give it an extra hint of exoticness, but it also tells you how
fresh everything is. The light blue paint has a smooth and shiny
finish that tells you it's a fresh application. This highlights the
exceptional panel quality. Plus, all the details look great, like
the fresh rubber bumper caps, bright locking pins for the hood &
windshield, and the correct factory wheel covers on color matched
wheels (including on the rear-mounted full-sized spare.) The new
vinyl soft top fits snug, and you have the choice of rolling up
different sides. So you can choose between having a little shade
from the sun, to full weather protection.
Of course, what we really love is that you can get this one open to
the world quicker than the removable hardtop examples. And when you
do take the top down, you get a very bold presence. The orange
seating against the light blue makes it look like the famous Gulf
Racing livery if they took on the Baja. Just like the exterior,
there was a solid investment inside, so the bold orange is fresh on
the front bench, rear jump seats, and even details like the shift
boots. Plus, this comes with some nice upgrades like an
AM/FM/cassette stereo, and cold-blowing air conditioning to keep
you comfortable even with the top down.
Under the hood is a year-correct 3.9-liter motor, and it was
rebuilt as part of the restoration. With so few miles (500 km is
approx. 310 miles) this basically looks factory fresh. Even the
undercarriage photos show off the kind of pristine presentation a
full frame-off restoration gets you. But remember these were made
for driving. And this kind of huge investment in the motor means it
fires up nicely, which makes the already tough-as-nails reputation
of this powerplant even more attractive in this example. This
torque-filled motor combined with the two-speed 4x4 transfer case
makes for a true go-anywhere machine. And the upgrade to a
four-speed manual transmission means extra versatility on or
off-road.
Fresh, distinct, and all the right features - this restored Land
Cruiser is a true gem that ready to run right now. Don't miss you
chance, call today!
