Vehicle Description
The Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser has become an iconic vintage 4X4
vehicle that has always held a devoted following of off road
enthusiasts. Being fashioned after the beloved Willys M38 Jeep that
began military service in WWII, the FJ40 was developed for the
world market to go head to head with Land Rover and over little
time, Toyota's FJ 40 proved to be much more rugged and reliable in
all demanding situations it faced.
We are pleased to bring to market this, 1976 Toyota FJ 40 Land
cruiser. This burly off roader has been the recipient of a
well-executed restoration and is finished in is factory original
color, Freeborn Red over red painted interior with black seat
upholstery and dash cap. The truck features its always reliable 2F
4.2 liter inline 6 cylinder engine, 4 speed transmission and what
many consider the best 4 wheel drive system known to man. Options
included Floor shifter, removable hard top, fold down windscreen,
roll bar, rear flip down seats, rear heater, ambulance style rear
doors, front bucket seats, front tow hooks, etc. Mechanically, the
car starts right up with no smoke, runs, drives and performs
excellent in all areas. Other highlights include, New exhaust,
fully detailed engine bay, rock solid frame, new suspension
components including springs, shocks and a 2 inch lift, new exhaust
from header back, Warn locking hubs, stainless steel hardware
throughout, and meaty all terrain tires.
Toyota's FJ 40 has long been a must have for any 4X4 enthusiast for
decades given their off road capability, reliability, overall
ruggedness and relatively smaller size. The FJ 40 has recently
grabbed the attention of collectors and auto enthusiast around the
globe. The utilitarian nature of the vehicles and the extreme
demands many have been subject to, high quality examples such as
this are few in numbers and restoration figures on these vehicles
are high. For these reasons, recent sales of later generation FJ
40's have flirted with six figures and have become proven
investments. A quality, mechanically excellent example such as this
is a worthy consideration for anyone considering such a
vehicle.
