Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of Ft. Lauderdale is proud to offer a beautiful rugged 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser. This red FJ is a very nice example of a classic Land Cruiser. Toyota rolled out the FJ40 series in 1960 and competed with the likes of Land Rovers, Jeeps, and later the Ford Bronco and Chevrolet K10 Blazer. The FJ is a rugged, two door, 4x4 vehicle with amazing off road capabilities, and rather primitive interior treatments. The new tan top is paired beautifully with the red color of this Land Crusier. The top is also removable so open air cruising is a possibility. FJs came without carpet, and with vinyl upholstery so even if you're out in the mud and in the elements, they're easy to keep clean. The front sports two bucket seats and the rear has "jump seats" which can be folded aside for more cargo space. Under the hood of this particular Land Cruiser you'll find the 6 cylinder engine which is backed by a 4 speed manual transmission and a 4x4 transfer case. Stout axle’s front and rear and original off road tires will take this thing just about anywhere you want to go. This FJ would make a great weekend runabout or a daily driver, although considered very basic on the interior amenities, this truck will put most new 4x4s to shame off pavement. Vintage 4x4s are in high demand, and most have rusted away to nothing. Luckily this Toyota has been well preserved and is ready for many more years of duty. Options on this beautiful FJ were limited but include: power brakes, seatbelts, vinyl interior, AM/FM/Casette player, You can see this 1978 Toyota FJ43 Land Cruiser in greater detail in our Ft. Lauderdale showroom.
