For Sale: 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ in Lutz, Florida

A classic 4x4 like this 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 does a terrific job of being a true classic that's truly useful. And this one has been given the right care and investment to be the right mix of a mountain climber that can also traverse the social ladder.


What's really going to strike you about this FJ is its versatility. Crystal clear headlights, bright updated alloys, and an overall tidy style make this look like a quality classic. And the white paint has a clean look that will get you invited to part this one at tropical garden parties. But there's also an unmistakable feeling that this one is ready for real action. The front bumper has a 12,000 lbs. winch neatly integrated. There's a tall snorkel air intake for getting deep into streams. And they even added rear fender flares for the wider deep tread tires. It's a true off-road 4x4, and it has the features to really allow you to flex its muscle.


The exterior bright white returns inside, and the fresh black upholstery makes for a tasteful contrast. This one has the right upgrades you really want, like front bucket seats, shoulder seatbelts, cup holders, and an AM/FM stereo with Bluetooth. The armrest center console even doubles as a lockbox. The double doors of the rear swing open wide so that you can fit people in the hallmark jump seats, or you can fold them up to give you plenty of room for your adventure gear.


The engine bay shows off one of our favorite parts of the FJ, the 3.9-liter inline-six. It has one of the most robust reputations in the world, and it produces the kind of torque that allowed these Land Cruisers to explore parts of the globe that never had roads. This one looks like it's up for the task with newer investments in everything from the carburetor to the aluminum radiator. The engine fires up eagerly, and the four-speed manual transmission lets you take proper control. The two-speed transfer case is for real 4x4 duty. Plus, the lifted stance and new Crosswind LT tires let you get deep into nature. But this was built to be a good all-around classic. So the quiet note of the exhaust and power brakes with front discs also help make this a nice in-town cruiser, too.


This is the all-around well-done FJ40 that reminds you why Toyotas have such a near bulletproof reputation. So if you love an awesome classic made to last generations, call today!
