Vehicle Description
This 1972 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 recent restoration that
added more ability while still keeping the best of the original
attitude.
One look at this 4x4 and you just want to go on an expedition.
After all, the Olive Brown paint looks like safari khakis. The
black roof with black grille and crisp window rubbers give this a
subtle two-tone. The black also represents some of the best
upgrades to keep this Land Cruiser a true go-anywhere machine. It
starts up front with a new bumper with push guard and large Warn
winch. The wheels are 17-inch American Racing units finished in
black. You even have a full size spare mounted on a swing-away
hitch in the back. It all looks quite nice and fresh, because the
restoration on this FJ40 was completed in 2018.
Inside is a time capsule feeling. Clean floors, fresh plastics, and
the iconic rear jump seats are exactly what you want. And remember,
the full hardtop package is removable, so you can share this
vintage appeal with the world. The single bucket seat that connects
to the bench up front is a cool vintage piece that also reminds you
the driver is always the most important. Plus, the classic thin and
grippy steering wheel with correct Toyota center cap feels great in
your hands. As you gaze over the dash, everything from the
speedometer and to the four-wheel-drive instructions are correct
and crisp.
Just like the rest of the vehicle, the engine bay has been given
extra attention to keep this proper and tidy. The FJ40 Land Cruiser
was such capable machine that it was in production for nearly a
quarter-century, and the F-series inline-six motor that has been
the backbone of Toyota toughness. And as an added bonus, this one
has been upgraded to a later and larger 4.2-liter unit. You get to
take full advantage of this added power with the three-speed manual
transmission The two-speed 4x4 transfer case, lifted suspension,
and Nitto Ridge Grappler tires allow this impressive classic to
still live up to its go-anywhere reputation. Because you want this
Land Cruiser for more than just the trail, it has great anytime
driving features like power steering and a four-wheel disc brake
upgrade.

capability while also being easy to drive around town. It's the
