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.
Exterior and Interior
This 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Restomod has been decked out in a simple shade of gray that borders on a bluish tint, giving it a lovely look no matter if its bright and sunny outside, or if you’re driving at night under glowing street lamps. Coming in two-door pickup truck form, this beautiful machine rides on a set of Mickey Thompson wheels and bears an ARB Deluxe front bumper. You’ve also got a Warn VR EVO 8 winch and upgraded LED headlamps. Hey, we did say that this was a restomod. The interior of this 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Restomod sees more restomod features. Cue up some nice red leather seats that are clearly from a newer vehicle and thus offer better comfort and ergonomic benefit. Then, we’ve got Vintage Air air conditioning to keep you chilled and happy on hot days. A set of Dakota Digital analog gauges sits nicely within the factory gauge pod and retains much of the original set’s charm too. There’s a center console with cup holders and storage, and a single-DIN slot within the dash awaits your choice of music system.
Engine
This 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Restomod has received a new Toyota 1FZ 4.5-liter in-line six-cylinder engine with a mere 500 miles on it. Paired with a 5-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drive, this is an off-roader that can, well, off-road. A stainless steel exhaust system has been fitted, as has Australian ARB Old Man Emu suspension. So, it’s ready to rock and roll.
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!
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 second-generation Toyota Celica Supra has become one of the most beloved Japanese grand touring coupes of the 1980s, blending sharp wedge-era styling, rear-wheel-drive balance, and Toyota’s renowned durability into one increasingly collectible package. This 1985 Toyota Celica Supra P-Type represents the enthusiast-favored performance trim, distinguished by its aggressive widebody fender flares, unique alloy wheels, and sportier personality compared to the more comfort-oriented L-Type models. Powered by Toyota’s silky 2.8-liter inline-six and backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission, this example captures the analog charm of Japan’s golden era of sports coupes. Finished in the quintessential black-over-black color combination and showing 127,627 miles, this Supra presents as a compelling survivor from the era before the standalone Supra became a turbocharged icon.
Ford’s second-generation F-Series helped establish the pickup truck as more than just a work vehicle, introducing improved styling, comfort, and drivability to America’s roads. This 1954 Ford F-100 Pickup retains the timeless charm of the iconic F-100 while benefiting from select upgrades that enhance its usability. Finished in black over a black interior, this truck pairs classic 1950s styling with modern conveniences such as power windows and an automatic transmission. With its wood bed floor, side-mounted spare tire, and upgraded features throughout, this F-100 offers vintage appeal and is well-suited for cruising, local shows, and weekend drives.
The Chevrolet Advance Design series debuted for the 1947 model year and quickly became one of the most recognizable postwar truck platforms in America. This 1948 Chevrolet 3100 Panel Truck Restomod blends that unmistakable vintage styling with a variety of custom touches that make it stand out from a traditional restoration. Showing approximately 7,461 miles on the odometer, this panel truck presents a unique combination of patina-finished exterior character, upgraded interior appointments, and enhanced comfort features. Its spacious enclosed cargo body, custom interior details, and classic Chevrolet heritage make it an attention-grabbing cruiser that offers both nostalgia and individuality.
