For Sale: 1975 Toyota Land Cruiser in Lutz, Florida

Combining a ruggedly stout appearance with an upgraded powertrain, this 1975 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Restomod is one compelling ride. It's dressed in olive drab paint, a fitting homage to the Land Cruiser's longstanding military roots, and it has a very capable appearance that beckons you to jump inside, grab the wheel, and create new chapters of motoring adventure, both on and off the asphalt. Its distinctive color has a nice gloss, despite the enticement this off-roader presents for vigorous driving. Outfitted with a stance that strikes just the right balance between ground clearance and practicality for frequent driving, this classic is an outstanding representative of its model.

Take a look inside and you'll see that a pair of leather bucket seats takes the place of their original counterparts. The dash area on this vintage Toyota presents well, and as you glance just to the right of the Grant GT steering wheel now perched on the tilting column, you'll find that a collection of AutoMeter gauges is recessed into the instrument cluster to provide an accurate monitoring of your motoring functions. The added full roll cage offers a welcome measure of safety while engaging in off-road pursuits, and should the weather not cooperate during the process, there's also a removable soft top on hand to shield you from the elements.

You might be inclined to do a double-take when you first raise the hood, but the components inside will recapture your attention pretty quickly. A 350-cubic-inch V8 now sits in place of the original engine, offering substantially more power while being fed by Edelbrock electronic fuel injection that enhances both adjustability and all-weather dependability. The overall fit of the engine inside the compartment is impressive. Still dressed in its factory-style exhaust manifolds and surrounded by fresh belts and hoses, it really looks as if it belonged there all along. When the urge to veer off the asphalt and take on rougher terrain strikes, the lever that unleashes this classic's 4-wheel drive agility sits within easy reach on the transmission tunnel, and the feature engages flawlessly.
