Overview of 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 For Sale by Owner

Toyota’s longest-running model, the Land Cruiser, entered service in 1951, and continues well into 2025 with no signs of slowing down. There have been many variants, including luxury ones, and spartan, go-anywhere monsters. This 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser comes from the latter category; the Forty Series to be specific. Called the J40 by Toyota, it was made between 1960 and 1984 in Japan. Meanwhile, Brazil loved it so much that they officially produced it between 1968 and 2001! This particular example bears over 53,000 miles and has undergone a full frame-off restoration effort. It’s also got a new engine under the hood, a Chevy 350ci V8 no less.

Exterior and Interior

This 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser comes to you in three-door short-wheelbase form, and looks appropriately eye-catching in its new Toyota Red paint job with contrasting white roof. It’s also got new door gaskets, and a Badlands winch with remote. Further exterior points of note include the custom tire carrier for the spare tire, and the jack holder, two important elements when you’re truly enjoying the outdoors in this vehicle. The interior of this 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser is reportedly a new Toyota Red interior, and comes with some neat features. You’ll notice a new touchscreen head unit, wired to a backup camera for extra aid when reversing in tight spots. Then, there’s new seats, and new headliner as well. With two individual front seats plus facing rear benches, up to six people can travel inside this vehicle, but four would be more comfortable. After all, you don’t want to pack em in like sardines, but let them stretch out and soak up the awesomeness of a Land Cruiser.

Engine

No, there isn’t a Toyota engine or transmission powering this 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser. Instead, the vehicle sports pure American horsepower, courtesy of a new Chevy 350ci V8 with just 6,000 miles on it. The engine is matched with a Turbo 350 automatic transmission that has similar mileage on it. Power goes to the wheels via a two-speed transfer case. Then, the current owner tells us that there’s new grommets, fittings and shocks. There’s also a new battery, new brakes, and new suspension. So, this is basically as new as you can expect a Forty Series to come these days.
