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.

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.

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.

1952 Willys Overland Model 473 Pickup

For Sale
ASK: $38,999
Miles: 2,948
Estimated: $390.27/mo

The Willys-Overland four-wheel-drive pickup helped establish the foundation for America's postwar utility truck market, combining the rugged engineering of the military Jeep with the practicality of a traditional pickup. Introduced in 1947 and developed under the direction of renowned industrial designer Brooks Stevens, the Willys truck became a distinctive alternative to conventional American pickups, offering genuine four-wheel-drive capability at a time when such equipment was far from commonplace. This 1952 Willys-Overland Model 473 Pickup, showing just 2,948 miles, is finished in a rich Burgundy exterior over a Cream vinyl interior, presenting an attractive combination of vintage styling and practical utility. Its distinctive appearance is highlighted by a chrome-accented vertical grille, cream-painted steel wheels, side-mounted spare tire, and a traditional steel cargo bed with a protective bedliner. Equipped with a four-cylinder engine, three-speed manual transmission, and dual-range four-wheel-drive system, this Willys captures the straightforward mechanical character that made these trucks popular among farmers, tradespeople, and outdoor enthusiasts. With its classic postwar design, distinctive color combination, and low indicated mileage, this Model 473 offers an appealing opportunity to own an important piece of early American four-wheel-drive truck history.
