With over 40 years in production from 1960 right up to 2001, it's no doubt that the J40 series of Land Cruisers have become a living legend amongst classic off-roaders. Better still, is the FJ40. Desired for its retro design and legendary off-road capabilities, the FJ40 is no longer just a vehicle, it's a collector's dream. Many versions of the J40 series were offered by Toyota, but to any rea off-road enthusiast, it was the two-door version, as seen here, that everyone wanted. On the topic of this fine example, it's safe to say that your eyes aren't deceiving you. The vehicle does in fact look the way it does thanks to dedicated maintenance from its owner. Now, it's up for sale, awaiting its next adventure. It’s also got a surprise under the hood.
After going head-to-head with the Jeep CJ, the Land Cruiser was finally starting to take form as a true civilian use-focused off-roader, and the FJ40 was the very first among the breed to be designed that way. Still, the Land Cruiser held its rugged, boxy design, and it displayed brilliantly in the case of this beautiful 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser hardtop. Cloaked in a brilliant white exterior paint and sitting on a meaty set of Michelin tires, this FJ40 cruiser stands tall amongst the crowd and could be mistaken for a vehicle that just rolled out of a showroom. Obviously, a vehicle built for bullying its way through rugged terrain wouldn't have much to offer in terms of comfort. Right? Wrong. This 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser does in fact offer an enjoyable cabin. From leather bucket seats to armrests, to a Sony stereo system and a three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel, it's safe to say you're going to enjoy the ride, be it on or off-road.
Powering this 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 isn't the typical Toyota engine that you would find in your average Land Cruiser. In fact, sources tell us that this vehicle has had a full engine swap, and now draws power from a 350ci Chevrolet V8 engine paired with a standard manual transmission. There are also reports that the vehicle has a new battery and new brakes.
Success in the automotive world depends on being consistent, the consistency that's present over decades. The Toyota Land Cruiser is one of those machines that has been consistent throughout the decades, built to conquer anything in its path; being behind the wheel of a Land Cruiser, regardless of its generation, is a driving experience that can never be replicated. Present today is this 1982 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60; this Japanese legend has a reported 202,269 miles on the clock. That's not all; it's lovingly been taken care of and is an original Land Cruiser in every aspect.
Nothing compares to the feeling of being able to ride higher than the majority of vehicles on the road. A Land Cruiser, with its tall platform and go-anywhere attitude, suits this role unlike any other. What we are offering you here is a beautiful ‘80s icon code-named the FJ60, also known as the Toyota Samurai. Regardless of having 180,000 miles on its odometer, this brute is in immaculate condition, with the current owner reporting it as mostly being in stock. The 1982 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 had to fit into a market where the SUV type was booming, and as a result, it was built bigger with ample cabin space. This makes an excellent recipe for a 4-wheel drive or an overlanding vehicle.
Venturing off the beaten path requires a motor that is fit to brave the odds and power through anything in its path. For years, Toyota and its range of Land cruisers have been at the forefront of dominating the great outdoors. Looking back at the success of the legendary Land Cruiser marque, one can draw its roots back to the iconic Toyota BJT20. Built to compete with the famous Willy's Jeep for military use in the Korean War, the Toyota BJT20 is a big part of Toyota's history and a rare bird within the collector car market. Present today is a unicorn of the off-road world that takes shape with this lovely 1953 Toyota BJT20. With just a reported 5,000 miles since its restoration, this is the genesis of Toyota's off-roading history and is also reliable classic car ownership neatly packaged as one.
