For Sale: 1973 Toyota Land Cruiser in Kentwood, Michigan

• This vehicle is located at our Indianapolis facility - 2461 Reeves Rd #194, Plainfield, IN 46168 •

GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1973 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40, finished in black with a contrasting white hardtop. This classic 4x4 retains its recognizable boxy styling, upright windshield, and rugged stance while benefiting from a Chevrolet V8 conversion and several mechanical updates. The body presents well overall, although there are various cosmetic imperfections consistent with its age and use. The frame appears solid, making this an appealing option for someone looking for a classic Land Cruiser to drive and enjoy.

Under the hood is a 5.7-liter Chevrolet 350ci V8 reportedly sourced from a 1972 Camaro, paired with a three-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drive. The engine features a four-barrel Edelbrock carburetor, Edelbrock valve covers, an HEI distributor, and an upgraded aluminum radiator with an electric cooling fan. Additional updates include spark plugs, ignition wires, fuel filters, and an alternator belt. The V8 conversion provides a different driving experience from the original Toyota inline-six.

The interior features upgraded black front bucket seats, a rear bench seat, and a roll bar. Seatbelts have been installed for both front and rear occupants. Aftermarket AutoMeter gauges provide additional engine monitoring, while the straightforward cabin retains the utilitarian character these early Land Cruisers are known for. The removable hardtop and rear cargo area add to the FJ40's versatility.

According to the previous owner, additional maintenance and improvements include new brakes, all-new wiring and fuse box, a replacement oil pan gasket, thermostat gasket, clutch slave cylinder and reservoir, and rear main seals. The Land Cruiser also rides on aftermarket wheels wrapped in newer mud-terrain tires. The exterior features black bumpers, traditional round headlights, and the classic Toyota grille.

This FJ40 is best described as a driver-quality example rather than a fully restored show vehicle. The black paint and bodywork show their share of imperfections, but the overall presentation is good, and the frame appears solid. With its Chevrolet V8 conversion, manual transmission, four-wheel-drive system, and numerous mechanical updates, this 1973 Toyota Land Cruiser offers a combination of classic off-road styling and V8 power.

Price does not include applicable tax, title, license, processing, and/or $240 documentation fees.
