Background Story of this 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser

Overview of 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser For Sale by Owner

The Fifty Series or J50 Toyota Land Cruiser is one of those comparatively lesser-known sorts in the United States. Produced between 1967 and 1980, it marked the start of the Station Wagon line-up of the Land Cruiser family, the ones that were slightly less hardcore than the Heavy Duty series, and more SUV-like. Today’s 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 is a fine example that’s weathered the test of time over the years. Now, it sits proud in Chapel Hill waiting for a new owner, and rocks just 305 miles after a full frame-off restoration. If you’re a Land Cruiser fan but want something a little less mainstream, this vehicle is perfect!

Exterior and Interior

Wearing a two-tone red and white color scheme, this 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 sits high on its white-rimmed all-terrain tires from BF Goodrich, and is ready for action. Take a look at its smooth lines and curves, as well as its elongated profile which showcases its more family-friendly proposition. It’s a classic SUV that will definitely turn heads, but can also cut it in the jungle, sand, mud, snow or anywhere else you choose to take it. The interior of this 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 comes in black and looks near factory fresh after restoration. Seating five adults in comfort and space, the vehicle also offers ample cargo capacity, making it a great camping companion. We’re told that there’s a Gen V Vintage Air heating and air conditioning system in place to make the cabin more comfortable on chilly or hot days. Everything else remains true to stock form, from the analog gauged dashboard, to the thin-rimmed steering wheel, wind-up windows and refreshing lack of digital devices. This is a vehicle that’s designed to be tough, reliable, and simple to fix if things do go amiss.

Engine

This 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 has got a naturally aspirated 4.2-liter in-line six under the hood. However, the engine has now been blessed with Sniper electronic fuel injection for better performance. It powers all four wheels through a 4-speed manual gearbox. We’re also told that the vehicle has got Terrain Tamer brakes on replaced 1980 hubs, a stainless steel exhaust and cats, Dobinson suspension, and even power steering!

The Toyota Land Cruiser has stood as a symbol of rugged dependability since its debut in 1951, evolving into a vehicle equally capable on the trail and in the city.

PENDING SALE
$48,500

One of America’s best-selling cars, the Toyota Camry midsize family sedan has carved out a name for itself, and one of sensibility. For those who seek no-nonsense family motoring with excellent reliability and the right mix of features and practicality, the Camry is the de facto choice. That’s why you won’t find a Camry on sale very often, but when you do, it’s always wise to act with speed. Take this 28,000-mile 2019 Toyota Camry XSE from Brooklyn as a prime example. Its low mileage makes it basically brand-new, while its got a host of custom carbon fiber bits and new wheels to jazz up its appearance. Inside, it still remains a practical and well-equipped family car with plenty of space and tech toys to keep you satisfied. That’s why you should buy it without a second thought!

1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$21,499

Now here’s a car that’s the polar opposite of what Americans consider to be sporty. It’s a diminutive thing from the Nineties, with its little four-cylinder engine mounted behind the passenger cabin. Yet, the Toyota MR2 made waves in every country that it was sold. This Midship Runabout 2-seater (hence the name MR2) was produced across three generations from 1984 to 2007. Today’s 1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo is a fine third-generation example that includes the original window sticker and owner’s manual with the sale of the car. Yes it’s got over 145,000 miles on it, but let’s not forget that it's a Toyota! 145,000 miles is mere chicken feed for this era of cars from the famed Japanese automaker.
