Series was a very successful off-road vehicle sold virtually
worldwide, but only in the North American market from 1960 through
1983. Only slight revisions were made to these trucks over the
years make them hard to distinguish from year to year, also making
parts availability readily available to off-road enthusiasts and
restorers today.� Exceptionally fun to drive with solid ground
footing, comfortable seating, torquey 6-cylinder engines that
provide ample power & fuel economy, along with the legendary Toyota
reliability!� It's hard not to want one in your collection parked
at the weekend getaway home! We are pleased to offer this 1973
Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser refinished in its factory appointed color
of Freeborn Red over new Gray vinyl seat upholstery. It continues
to run wonderfully with it original F-Series 3.9L Straight 6
cylinder engine (#F431487), now fitted with a Rochester 2-Jet
carburetor and exhaust header for a little extra performance.�
These engines were factory rated at 125 horsepower with 209 ft.
lbs. of torque.� Features and options include 3-speed manual
transmission, power brakes, Warn locking front hubs, front & rear
heaters, dual outside mirrors, folding rear jump seats, internal
roll bar, and 15" steel wheels wrapped in brand new General Grabber
AT2 all-terrain white letter tires measuring 31x10.5R15LT! This
very original truck was treated to a full cosmetic restoration that
included new exterior paint, fresh weather stripping throughout,
new running boards; new door, hood, & tailgate mounting hardware,
new stainless steel hood & windshield hooks, hood rubbers, body
emblems, power coated wheels with custom red & blue pin stripping,
new interior seat upholstery & foams, interior floor covering,
Tuffy Security locking center console with cup holders & hidden CD
player, Pioneer 3-way speakers hidden behind the front seats, and
more! Mechanically, it had new front suspension shackles & bushings
recently installed, and a high-flow aluminum radiator for better
cooling during the hot summer months.� The results speak for
themselves, and the drive qualities are rather excellent in our
opinion.� A very well cared for example showing limited use on
original components like the foot pedals, dash board & trim,
control knobs, etc.� It should be a terrific investment for the
collector looking for a strong up and coming collector vehicle in
today's marketplace!� Please feel free to call with questions.
