Vehicle Description
Gorgeous, rust free original Land Cruiser!� Great color
combination, numbers matching engine, power steering, 4-speed
manual transmission, and factory air conditioning!� Sweet up and
coming investments for truck collectors! Launched in 1960 as the
Land Cruiser Model 40, its worldwide success carried for many
decades, but for enthusiasts in the United States, the end came
about in 1984. Only mild changes to the Toyota FJ were integrated
over the years, mostly consisting of better safety and convenience
items. This included a roll bar being standard equipment by 1974,
ambulance rear doors in 1975 along with larger more powerful 4.2L
engine, front disc brakes in 1976, with 1979 options that included
power steering and air conditioning, with better 3.70:1 highway
axle gearing as standard. Bringing the arguably best package
together by 1979, we couldn't be more excited to offer this 1982
Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser. Finished in classic Yellow over Gray
vinyl interior, this authentically restored example is in
remarkable, rust free condition throughout! Under the hood lies its
original, numbers matching�2F-coded 4.2L Inline 6 cylinder engine
making 135 factory-rated horsepower & 210 lb. ft. of torque
connected to the fully synchromesh 4-speed manual transmission and
3.70:1 rear axle. Options on this unit are plenty starting with the
always favored power steering, air conditioning, AM/FM/CD Stereo
radio in factory location, padded dash, power front disc brakes,
rear mounted spare, AISIN locking front hubs, dual outside mirrors,
front bumper hooks, locking gas door, rear folding jump seats,
front & rear rubber bumberettes, rear step, and tow hitch. The
cosmetic restoration on this FJ40 was completed not long ago and
was used rather sparingly ever since. This included refinished
exterior paint and new interior upholstery. All new stainless steel
body hardware, polished stainless hood & windshield hooks were
used.�� Recent improvements also included new Gabriel shocks at all
four corners, new air filter, fresh engine oil & filter, fully
greased suspension, new pinion seal, knuckle seal, Birfield seal,
hub seals, complete U-bolt set, new fuel filter, and oil sending
unit. Our example doesn't disappoint once in the driver's seat
either. Without any drivetrain modifications from factory stock, it
continues to start, run, and drive exactly as intended. Gratified
further with instant throttle response, smooth clutch engagement
through all gears, super confident brakes, well balanced Pirelli
Scorpion MTR 31x10.5R15LT tires, and fully functional accessories
including the a/c system, it becomes a very tough truck to
criticize going down the road! Included with this unit will be the
original jack & crank handle, and a clear Missouri title. Please
feel free to call with more questions or make arrangements to visit
our showroom in person. Thanks for looking!
