1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ-40

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.
