For Sale: 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser in Lutz, Florida

Vehicle Description

With their rugged, ready-for-action appearance and sterling reputation for long-term reliability, Land Cruisers have been coveted off-roaders ever since they were first introduced for civilian use more than 70 years ago. But take a closer look at this 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ73 and you'll notice that cloth soft top that sets it apart from nearly all of its counterparts you'll see on the road. This is no typical Land Cruiser. Its FJ73 designation confirms its status as an automotive world traveler, originally configured for the global market, and never sold in the United States, so the rarity of this SUV is beyond question. Decked out in its factory-correct white exterior and outfitted with driver and passenger side running boards, along with upgraded headlights that team with a pair of fog lamps to light the road ahead, this is one ruggedly capable-looking ride.

The factory-correct gray vinyl interior has come through the decades in impressive shape. Both front buckets are sure to provide many future miles of comfort, and the rear bench seat appears very fresh, as well. There appears to be no noticeable cracks or warpage on the dash area that we could find, and an aftermarket JVC AM/FM stereo with touchscreen control and an auxiliary port now sits at its center to handle audio duties. Glance a little lower and you'll see that a cooler is recessed into the center console. That's a great unexpected convenience feature. The rear storage area is well-maintained and houses a properly badged Toyota toolkit to help you deal with any unforeseen circumstances while on the road.

This special edition Toyota is powered by at least a period-correct 4.0-liter inline 6-cylinder engine that's fed by a factory-issue 2-barrel carburetor. Not surprisingly, given its manufacturer's reputation for dependability, the engine is running in fine form, starting up promptly and pulling with gusto. When it comes time to unleash this Land Cruiser's 4-wheel drive agility so that you can take on rougher terrain, the lever is within easy reach on the transmission and engages flawlessly. Power brakes that position discs up front bring things to a stop as quickly as needed, and an upgraded aluminum radiator is on board to keep temperatures under control in more challenging motoring conditions.
