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.

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.
