If you want a classic Toyota Land Cruiser that’s still able to dish it out in spades when the road disappears, you can’t go amiss by selecting a J40 variant. The J40 era was made between 1960 and 1984, but production continued in Brazil until 2001. With its iconic style and simplistic mechanicals, it’s incredibly easy to fix a J40 in the field if it does go wrong – which, isn’t very often, let us tell you. That’s why you’ll encounter J40s doing yeoman service in various parts of the world where today’s SUVs would simply cry and throw up myriad error messages on their delicate digital screens. So, if you’re an adventurer with an eager heart and a desire to explore our country, this 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 is a great companion. It’s recently received a host of new parts and awaits your consideration in Miami, Florida.
The new OEM paint job on this 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 is of the much desirable two-tone theme, with a white roof and an eye-catching red body. The vehicle is an absolute stunner to behold, and you can tell that a lot of love has gone into restoring it. We’re told that it packs new panels, new rubber seals, new wheels and new tires too. All the lights look crisp and clear, and the iconic Land Cruiser badges make you feel special everytime someone glances at this vehicle while you’re driving in it. The new interior of this 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 comes in black and largely preserves the vehicle’s classic and simplistic vibe. The only touch of modernity is the fitment of a Vintage Air air conditioning unit. That’s an upgrade that we wholly approve of, because the world is getting warmer, and cars are nicer to drive with air conditioning anyway. The seat covers and headliner are new as well, as is the dashboard, showcasing those lovely classic gauges. We don’t see any music players, so you’ve got two choices. One is to install your own choice of sound system, two is to use a Bluetooth speaker. We’d recommend the latter if you prefer purity.
This 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 uses a 3.0-liter in-line four-cylinder diesel engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. We’re told that the engine and transmission have been serviced and tuned, and the vehicle has received a recent fluids service too.

Along the way, there have been many iconic Land Cruisers, and today’s 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 comes from the J40 era. Made between 1960 and 1984, the J40 also saw production in Brazil, from 1968 until 2001. With its timeless styling, simplistic yet capable mechanicals and formidable off-road chops, the J40 is the default choice for many who want to go anywhere that a road doesn’t exist. Today’s 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 is no different, but it’s got a rather tasty surprise under the hood. Read on to find out more.
The Toyota Land Cruiser: It’s one of the top off-roaders in the world, with a rich history dating back to 1951, making it Toyota’s longest-running nameplate. For many, a Land Cruiser is the best four-by-four, full stop. Others have made similar vehicles and continue to do so, but few can touch a properly driven and purposefully upgraded Land Cruiser in the truly rough stuff of the wilderness. Plus, the Land Cruiser has a distinctive reputation for reliability that few of its rivals can even come close to. There’s a popular saying “others may take you there but a Land Cruiser will bring you home”. So, if you’re a Land Cruiser aficionado or just looking to buy a weekend off-roader, check out this 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Restomod from Dania Beach, Florida. With a full restoration under its belt, this timeless machine has reportedly done just 185 miles since then, and packs some neat modern features too.
The Toyota Land Cruiser is the most well-known Japanese four by four on the market. There’s no two words about it. Introduced in 1951, the nameplate is Toyota’s longest-running one to date. There have been many series, broken up into heavy duty, light duty and station wagon segments. Today’s 1991 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ80 comes from the J80 series from the station wagon line-up.

Toyota’s MR2, or Midship Runabout 2-Seater, is a small, mid-engined roadster produced by Toyota from 1985 to 2007, spanning three generations. Its rear-wheel drive configuration and excellent weight balance make the MR2 a fantastic car for keen enthusiasts who are looking to learn the techniques of performance driving, albeit at a lower level of horsepower. The car’s light weight and relatively frugal powertrains also lent themselves well towards decent fuel economy, resulting in a very sensible vehicle that was also fun. You don’t find those two words in the same sentence when talking about most cars. So, if you want something that ticks those boxes while adding a third box called “Definitive Future Classic”, check out this first-generation 1988 Toyota MR2 that’s up for sale in Los Angeles. It’s done just 36,600 miles and comes with a 1.6L supercharged engine to enjoy in it's completely original state as it left the factory .

Behold, the world’s first-ever mass-production civilian four-wheel drive car: the Willys Jeep. Derived from the military vehicle that served extensively in World War II, the Willys CJ “Civilian Jeep” was a modified, road-legal version of the battlefield hero. Aimed at the farming and industrial community, many mechanical modifications over the military version were with the goal of making it more durable and reliable. As the war was winding up, Jeep started working on the CJ, with 2 main prototype models being tested (CJ-1 and CJ-2). The CJ-2A was the first production model, which arrived in mid-1945, initially used up the last of the war-time parts stock. Once this was over, many parts such as the rear axle were changed (in this case to a stronger option). In total, over 214,000 CJ-2As were built between 1945 and 1949.
