The Land Cruiser line up from Toyota is the stuff of legends, driving one gives you the sense of reliability and just braving through anything that gets in your way when venturing off the beaten path. While the modern day land Cruiser is a comfortable cruiser its roots were deep in exploring and pushing to newer heights, much like this unique 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 we have today. Driving around in this Land Cruiser ensures nothing but thumbs up and performance that can raise eyebrows if you do decide to partake in some off roading.
Exterior and Interior
A Land Cruiser fanatic would stop and look closely, the chassis name and the vehicle styling pictured above don’t match, your eyes don’t deceive you. This 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 sports the best of both worlds, 50s styling in the form of a 1953 Land Cruiser BJT20 body and running gear from the legendary FJ40 line up of the 70s. The exterior of this unique vehicle sports a lovely Sand exterior that just boasts 50s on every glance. Ensuring this classic off roader rides high off the ground is a set of steel wheels matched to the exterior color of the vehicle. Step inside and everything resembles the 50s. The barebones interior on this 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 sports a beige theme and is in great shape. The seller reports that the vehicle reportedly sports a new interior with new upholstery as well.
Engine
With its exterior and styling throwing it back to the good old days of the Land Cruiser line up its good news in the powertrain department. Under the hood of this 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 is not the inline 6 powertrain from the 50s but from the more than capable FJ line up’s take on inline 6 powertrains. With less weight you can rest assured this classic Toyota is one performance machine, the seller reports that the engine sees a rebuild with a new battery, fuel pump, starter and alternator also being replaced to ensure things run smoothly. Power is sent to all four wheels through a manual transmission the way a true off-roader should. With its increased performance you can also expect greater stopping times thanks to this vehicle sporting new brakes and rotors.
The 1974 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Restomod takes one of Toyota’s most iconic off-road platforms and upgrades it with a substantially more powerful drivetrain, modernized braking, revised suspension, and a more comfortable cabin. Showing approximately 4,502 miles, this example is powered by a 350ci V8 paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and features upgrades including power steering, four-wheel power disc brakes, Rancho shocks, 17-inch XD wheels, and custom tube bumpers. Inside, leather reclining front seats, a custom center console, AutoMeter gauges, navigation, and JL Audio equipment bring a more contemporary feel to the otherwise classic FJ40 layout.
The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 has earned legendary status for its rugged durability and off-road capability, making it one of the most iconic 4x4s ever built. This 1973 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Restomod takes that proven platform to an entirely new level with extensive performance, drivetrain, suspension, and utility upgrades. Showing just 11,377 miles, this professionally built FJ40 is finished in Green over a Gray interior and replaces its original powertrain with a Chevrolet 454ci V8 backed by a GM Turbo Hydra-Matic 700R4 automatic transmission. Equipped with ARB air lockers, 37-inch Toyo tires, a Warn winch, and numerous custom upgrades, this FJ40 is equally at home conquering challenging trails or turning heads at any automotive event.
By the late 1980s, the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62 had earned a worldwide reputation that few four-wheel drives could match. Built with Toyota's legendary emphasis on durability, reliability, and mechanical simplicity, the FJ62 represented the final evolution of the iconic 60-Series Land Cruiser sold in North America. Combining modern conveniences like electronic fuel injection and an automatic transmission with traditional body-on-frame construction and solid axles, the FJ62 became equally at home navigating mountain trails, crossing continents, or serving as a dependable daily driver. Showing 178,062 miles, this Land Cruiser embodies the rugged capability and enduring legacy that have made 60-Series examples some of the most sought-after classic SUVs on the market today.
By the time the fourth-generation Supra arrived, Toyota had transformed the nameplate from a grand touring coupe into something far more serious. The 1997 Toyota Supra Turbo sits near the peak of that evolution, combining the now-iconic 2JZ-GTE twin-turbo inline-six with rear-wheel drive and, in this example, the sought-after 6-speed manual transmission. Showing approximately 136,725 miles, this Renaissance Red car keeps the enthusiast formula intact: twin-turbo power, a proper manual gearbox, a limited-slip differential, polished 17-inch wheels, and a removable sport roof. The Mk4 Supra earned its reputation not just because it was quick for its era, but because Toyota engineered in a level of strength and tuning potential that would eventually turn the car into a legend well beyond its original production run. This one still presents that appeal in a configuration that feels very much like the Supra enthusiasts fell in love with.
The 1998 Toyota Supra has become one of the defining Japanese performance cars of its era, and this example takes the platform far beyond its original specification with a comprehensively engineered high-horsepower build. Originally configured as a naturally aspirated automatic car, it now carries a built 3.0-liter 2JZ-GTE-based powertrain, a Precision Next Gen 8085 single turbo, Haltech engine management, and a Grannas Racing T56 Magnum-F 6-speed manual conversion. The car shows approximately 74,952 total miles, with the seller reporting roughly 1,500 miles on the current build. Output has been recorded at 1,208 wheel horsepower and 861 lb-ft on a Mainline hub dyno and 1,301 wheel horsepower and 930 lb-ft on a Dynojet, with a reported 1,535 horsepower and 1,094 lb-ft at the crank. Seven boost-by-speed settings range from 10 to 42 psi, corresponding to approximately 600 to 1,300 wheel horsepower. Finished in Imperial Jade Mica with a beige leather interior, this Supra combines serious drag- and roll-racing capability with an extensive list of Powerhouse Racing, Radium Engineering, BC Racing, Grannas Racing, Hypertune, Plazmaman, Turbosmart, and Haltech hardware. The work is reported to have been completed by KM Autowerks, with tuning by Lawrence Shipman / LS Fabrication.
This 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser TRD Special Edition 4x4 takes the FJ’s already rugged formula and pushes it considerably further with a long list of expedition-focused upgrades. Showing approximately 164,649 miles, it combines the TRD Special Edition Package and Convenience Package with ARB front and rear bumpers, a synthetic-cable winch, Safari snorkel, auxiliary lighting, additional fuel capacity, rooftop camping equipment, and a dual-battery electrical setup. Its AirTop rooftop tent, ARB refrigerator, ARB shade awning, Baja roof rack, and 38-gallon combined fuel capacity give this FJ the equipment to venture well beyond a typical weekend trail run, while the blacked-out presentation ties the build together with an appropriately purposeful look.
