Vehicle Description
Finding a 1970 Toyota FJ55 Land Cruiser at an affordable price is
already attractive. So when you dig deeper to see all the
improvements - the upgraded motor, five-speed transmission,
four-wheel disc brakes, A/C interior, and much more - you soon
realize that this attractive classic 4x4 is actually an
unbelievable deal.
Land Cruiser are already a noteworthy sight on the classic car
scene, and the FJ55 is arguably one of the rarest seen of them all.
This particular one show off its distinction nicely with a two-tone
white and green that utilizes the curves and creases of the
sheetmetal for natural dividing lines. Even with the uniqueness of
this four-door 4x4, it's unmistakably a tough-as-nails Land
Cruiser. The big round headlights, large marker lights on the
fenders, and sturdy/boxy design easily make them kin to their other
FJ brothers. And just like the other Land Cruisers, this one has an
instant off-road ready attitude. The tall 4x4 stance, HD push
bumper with Warn winch attached, KC lights, full-size spare (on a
swing-away mount that includes a ladder and jack,) and the trailer
hitch are all part of a package that isn't afraid to keep going
when the pavement ends.
Inside you find the true advantages of the FJ55. It features two
wide bench seats (with seatbelts), doors that shut solid, and
plenty of cargo room. It makes for such a nice SUV for family and
friends. So there was even extra sound deadening material added to
keep everyone comfortable. And speaking of comfort, there are the
right upgrades like R134a air conditioning and an upgraded AM/FM/CD
stereo with Bluetooth. And the power rear window with fold-down
tailgate makes it the ideal place to do sit while you roast
campsite marshmallows.
The engine bay has had a ton of terrific investments. It starts
with an upgrade to a 4.2-liter 2F inline six motor. This was
rebuilt about 4,000 miles ago, and that includes bored .30 (now
approx. 4.4-liters total,) RV cam, port & polished cylinder head,
new carb, and wrapped header. Not only do you have a stronger
motor, but you also get better control over it all with an upgrade
to a five-speed manual transmission from Man-A-Fre. Even the
transfer case was rebuilt to keep this a go-anywhere 4x4. But more
than just off-road prowess, the improvements also made it great for
anytime driving. This includes additions like power steering and
four-wheel disc brakes. There's even a large aluminum radiator to
keep you running cool in traffic.
This is an impressive classic for on or off-road. So when this
nicely upgraded FJ55 Land Cruiser is also so obtainability priced,
you know you need to hurry if you want to take it home. Call
