*1976 Toyota Land Cruiser*Standing as one of Toyota's oldest
nameplates, the Land Cruiser has become known for quality
engineering and durability, making it the ultimate go-anywhere
vehicle. The first variant offered in the United States was the
FJ40, a truck with many Jeep-like qualities but the Toyota build
quality that one would expect from the manufacturer.This 1976
Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 is finished in Sky Blue and benefits from
a restoration by marque specialists Vintage Cruisers of Flagstaff,
AZ. The classic boxy shape of the FJ40 looks fantastic in this
light blue color, especially when accented by the white removable
hard top. Originally an Arizona car, it is believed that the first
owner was a photographer for National Geographic who pulled the
truck behind his RV on trips around the country. Thanks to living
the majority of its life in a warm, dry climate and being garaged
when not in use, this Land Cruiser was in remarkable shape from the
get go, but improved by the team at Vintage Cruisers.The spartan
interior has been subtly upgraded with black leather seat covers on
the original looking front bucket seats, and the two rear jump
seats have also been reupholstered. A dealer-installed air
conditioning system is fitted which is fantastic to have when the
top is still on, and a new Retro-style radio is fitted with
Bluetooth capabilities. The original center console has been
swapped out for one with a locking storage compartment and the
glove box utility light is still present in the vehicle.Under the
hood sits a 4.2-liter "2F" inline-6 that produces 135 horsepower
and 210 lb-ft of torque. These engines are known for being
essentially bulletproof and carrying countless people into some of
the most remote areas of the world for over 60 years. For a bit of
additional dependability on this example, a replacement OEM-style
carburetor has been installed to ensure it runs as good as the
truck looks. Power is then sent through a 4-speed manual gearbox to
all four wheels via a switchable part-time four wheel drive system
with a 2 speed transfer case. If you find yourself in the rare
situation that the truck can't pull itself out of, a Warn 8274
electric winch has been fitted to the front bumper and is ready to
help.Over time, many of these Land Cruisers have been modified, cut
up or used to within an inch of their lives. Finding one like this
that has been lovingly cared for by just three owners, and
conscientiously restored, gives you the opportunity to experience
what one of these would have been like when new - but with the
addition of a few modern amenities to make it an even better
drive.*Key Features* * Three Owners From New * Contentiously
