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.
