THE VEHICLE IS NOT CALIFORNIA SMOG LEGALWest Coast Classics are
proud to present an absolutely exceptional example of this very
rare restored original Arizona, now residing in California but
still titled in Arizona and please note not CA smog legal, 1977
Toyota Landcruiser 4.2L 6 Cylinder 4WD in the most desirable rigid
FJ40 2 Door hardtop body-style and loaded with rare and very
desirable options of air conditioning, power steering, power disc
brakes and a winch and with no history of any rust or signs of any
body work or indeed of having ever been off-road!The Toyota
Landcruiser is the longest running series for Toyota and certainly
one of the finest true off road 4WD full size sport utility
vehicles ever built and a legendary performer in the harshest of
settings as proved through extensive testing by Toyota in the
Australian outback, notorious for extreme temperatures and terrain
and where it became hugely popular and Australia's best selling
full size body on frame four wheel drive vehicle ever! Production
started in 1954 and by 1973 over 300K Landcruisers had been sold
worldwide; a true testament of their legendary capabilities! It was
produced as a convertible, a Hardtop, a Station Wagon and there was
a Utility Truck version.This particular example is a beautifully
restored 1977 FJ40 2 Door Hardtop with a 2" lift and with the
odometer reading 41,081 miles. The FJ40 series is an iconic and
classic series and these trucks are now being sought after like
never before with restored and loaded models like this one prized
by enthusiasts internationally. The FJ40 series (1960-83) initially
sported a 3.9L 6 cylinder engine and 1975 was the first year of the
larger and more powerful 4.2L 2F version.This particular example
was recently purchased from it's most recent southern California
owner and has obviously always been well maintained and serviced,
reportedly never off-road and meticulously stored with no damage -
babied all the way!The 'Dark Blue' color paint is in exceptional
condition and there is no history of any rust whatsoever anywhere
on the truck. The black vinyl front seats and rear fold-away 'jump
seats' are in beautiful condition with virtually no signs of any
wear, apart from a very minor tear in one rear jump seat cushion
(see photos below).This well maintained truck runs very strong, the
transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the temperature
always remains cool - drives exactly like such a well maintained
vehicle should!You will look long and hard to find a finer example
of this increasingly desirable and legendary FJ40 series Toyota
Landcruiser in the rigid 2 door hardtop body-style with a removable
hardtop and drop down windshield for the ultimate 'Safari' style
4x4 and with this particular model having been fully restored with
a 2" lift with no history or signs of any accidents or rust and
only owned by obviously very careful and mature owner's since new!
