The Toyota Land Cruiser has forged a reputation as a formidable off-roader, and it’s done so in nearly all countries where it is, or has been sold. Introduced in 1948, it’s Toyota’s longest-running badge, and today, is available in multiple forms. 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.
Exterior and Interior
At the outset, this 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 looks menacing with its high-riding stance and black paint job. The vehicle has received aftermarket halogen headlamps and a roof rack sits atop its already lofty roof. Then we get to the wheels and tires of this machine, which are a set of 17-inch beadlock units wrapped in LT265/70 M/T Trail Grappler tires from Nitto. Atop the roof rack lie some more lights for illuminating the area ahead when needed. The interior of this 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 is largely stock, with its black leather seating enjoying some orange contrast stitching. There are two seats up front, and two facing benches in the rear. This allows a total of six adults to travel with ease within this 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. We also see an air conditioning system and an upgraded sound system to make trail-bashing or city cruising more pleasing.
Engine
The star of the show that moves this 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 is a potent 2.8-liter Cummins turbodiesel. Paired with an automatic transmission, it offers a great blend of driving ease and effortless torque across any terrain. As you’d expect, the vehicle is four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case. So, you need not worry about roads wherever you’re planning to go.
The landcruisers line up is long and has been around for more than a quarter of a century, and in that time each model has pulled on the heartstrings of collectors. The J60 is a collector's favorite and finding one that has its original bones intact is a very big challenge. Present today is that elusive find that you scour the interwebs for and takes shape with this 1989 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62. Hailing from Tehachapi, California, this classic Japanese off-roader is a rarity thanks to its originality.
Now here’s a golden oldie of the off-road community. This red and white 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ45 is a long wheelbase pickup variant that’s perfect for someone who’s a fan of classic pickups, Japanese vehicles and off-roading. It’s now available in Miami with 124,000 miles on the clock, but you wouldn’t guess based on appearance alone. Yup, this pristine machine comes with a 3.6-liter straight six diesel engine under the hood, a manual gearbox, and a part-time four-wheel drive system. Thanks to its body on frame construction, it’s pretty versatile in the rough stuff too. Indeed, this vehicle’s clean and fresh appearance may lead you to believe otherwise, but this is one beauty that can turn into a beast if needed.
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!
The 1985 Toyota Celica Supra P-Type represents the golden era of Japanese grand touring, blending sharp styling, rear-wheel-drive performance, and impressive refinement into one highly desirable package. As the more performance-oriented variant of the second-generation Supra, the P-Type distinguished itself with aggressive factory styling and enthusiast-focused equipment that helped establish the Supra’s legendary reputation long before it became a turbocharged icon. Showing 127,627 miles, this Black example remains a compelling classic that’s equally suited for weekend cruising, collector events, or anyone looking to experience one of Toyota’s most influential sports coupes.
There are reliable vehicles, and then there are Toyota pickups. Built during an era when durability mattered more than touchscreens and driver aids, the 1994 Toyota Pickup has become an automotive legend thanks to its simplicity, ruggedness, and seemingly endless lifespan. This 1994 Toyota Pickup DX shows 190,424 miles on the chassis and is finished in an eye-catching Metallic Blue custom paint job over a Blue interior. The current owner reports approximately 9,600 miles on the current 22R-E engine, the same powerplant that helped cement Toyota’s reputation for building some of the most dependable trucks ever made. Equipped with four-wheel drive, a 5-speed manual transmission, a spray-in bedliner, and numerous cosmetic enhancements, this pickup is equally at home on a backcountry trail, a job site, or parked at a weekend cars-and-coffee event. As clean examples become increasingly difficult to find, this classic Toyota represents an opportunity to own one of the most respected compact trucks ever produced.
The Toyota Crown has long represented understated executive luxury in Japan, serving as one of Toyota’s most respected domestic flagship sedans for decades. By 1999, the Crown had evolved into a refined, comfort-oriented luxury cruiser that blended legendary Toyota reliability with smooth rear-wheel-drive dynamics. This 1999 Toyota Crown Royal Saloon is a particularly appealing example, showing approximately 31,064 miles and offering the kind of low-mileage preservation that collectors and JDM enthusiasts appreciate. Powered by Toyota’s revered 3.0L naturally aspirated 2JZ-GE inline-six, this right-hand-drive Royal Saloon combines dependable engineering with authentic Japanese-market luxury. Finished in elegant Pearl White over a beige cloth interior, this Crown delivers a compelling alternative to European executive sedans, with the added intrigue of true JDM exclusivity.
The 1961 Ford F-100 Unibody is one of the most distinctive pickups of its era, thanks to its unique integrated cab-and-bed construction that was produced for only a brief period. This example has been transformed into a thoughtfully executed restomod while preserving the character that makes these trucks so desirable among enthusiasts. Showing 15,976 miles on the odometer, the truck is best represented as True Mileage Unknown (TMU). Originally a California farm truck, it now combines authentic sun-baked patina with carefully selected modern upgrades, creating a one-of-a-kind cruiser that’s equally at home at local shows or weekend drives. The extensive 18-month build was completed with attention to detail throughout and is accompanied by a binder of receipts documenting the work performed.
Ford’s fifth-generation F-Series helped cement the F-100 as one of America’s most recognizable pickup trucks, offering rugged capability wrapped in timeless styling. This 1970 Ford F-100 Restomod takes that classic formula and enhances it with a host of modern upgrades for improved comfort, reliability, and drivability. Showing 80,857 miles on the odometer, this short-bed pickup is finished in Black and features a 351ci V8, upgraded suspension, modern air conditioning, and numerous restoration enhancements, making it equally suited for weekend cruises, local shows, or regular enjoyment.
The 1973 Ford Bronco Restomod blends the timeless styling of the first-generation Bronco with the performance, comfort, and reliability of a professionally engineered modern build. Showing just 2,873 miles, this example was built on a premium Kincer Bronco chassis and is powered by a 460-horsepower Ford Coyote V8 paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Finished in Raven Black over an Amber Glow distressed leather interior, it offers an exceptional combination of classic off-road heritage, contemporary engineering, and luxury amenities, making it equally at home on the highway, at a car show, or exploring off the beaten path.
