1970 Toyota FJ40 For Sale This 1970 Toyota Land Cruiser
FJ40 retains its numbers-matching original F-series inline-six,
transmission, transfer case, and driveline, with the engine
stampings photographed and documented in the binder that comes with
the truck. Everything was recently serviced, and the transfer case
received new seals. It runs well and starts right up. The clutch
was rebuilt with a heavy-duty assembly kit and a resurfaced
flywheel, and the ignition was converted to an electronic system
with a new coil, plugs, and wires. A new starter, a new gas tank
with a Dakota Digital sending unit, fresh fuel hoses, a fuel
filter, and a new tail pipe round out the running gear. Under prior
California ownership the carburetor was rebuilt and the water pump
replaced.The truck is a thoroughly documented restoration of a
California original, purchased out of Long Beach in 2020 in solid
condition and then taken through a comprehensive refresh, with
nearly every wear, trim, and electrical item replaced using correct
parts from Specter Off Road. That binder of receipts and part
numbers means the buyer inherits a complete record of what was done
and what it came from.Underneath sits a 2-inch Specter Off Road
lift built around heavy-duty leaf springs, Explorer Pro-Comp
extended shocks, anti-inversion tri-shackles, and
graphite-impregnated poly bushings, riding on five new Goodyear
Wrangler Duratrac tires. The steering box was rebuilt, with new tie
rod ends, a steering dampener, and a new 4x4 shift cable. Brake
hoses and the parking brake cable were replaced, following new
calipers and pads all around from the prior owner. Inside, a Dakota
Digital cluster (silver face, blue illuminated) pairs with a
Vintage Air Gen II heater, reupholstered seating from the earlier
work, and the two rear jump seats this body style is known
for.Cosmetically, the body was worked to clean up panel gaps before
being repainted in a light blue with Chrysler Grey rims, top, and
accents, and the underside was fully coated in POR-15. The
flip-down windshield is fully functional with new hinges and
weatherstripping. A complete new wiring harness and 12-circuit fuse
box were installed. The Specter Off Road refresh runs across the
truck: exterior lights (headlights are original), badging,
weatherstripping, glass and molding (the two rear curved glass
panels are no longer reproduced and remain original), window
cranks, door handles, mirrors, chrome wing window panels, billet
hood trim, and correct metric hardware with gold anodized
accessories throughout.NFI Empire specializes in classic, exotic,
modified, and luxury vehicles. We offer retail sales, consignment,
financing, and full custom and body work through our on-site shop.
