When the J40 was first introduced in 1960, Toyota had decided that it was time to let go of the initial motivation behind the Land Cruiser for military use; they wanted the Land Cruiser to be a proper off-roader for the people. The J40 was not just to plow through mud; it was designed so that enthusiasts like you and I always had the option to be adventurous and take our daily from work on a detour that no ordinary vehicle could go and look good doing so. Most importantly, the J40 was rugged, reliable, and a true testament to Toyota's ability to build vehicles that would run forever, this 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser is one of them, and it's currently up for sale.
Exterior and Interior
The exterior design of the 1981 Land Cruiser J40 was characterized by its tough and rugged appearance, with a high ground clearance and a sturdy ladder frame that was designed to withstand harsh environments and tough driving conditions. Out of the several body styles, the most famous, perhaps, is the 2-door wagon model featured here. Speaking of this example, the current owner reports that it is a complete number matching vehicle, a combination of its build quality, as well as the high-level maintenance this garage kept J40 has enjoyed over the years. The current owner also reported that the vehicle has an original un-powered steering column, lift kit, and new tires. The J40 was designed to be a rugged and capable off-road vehicle, and its interior reflected this purpose. The dashboard of the J40 was simple and straightforward, with easy-to-read analog gauges and basic controls. The J40 did not have many of the comfort and convenience features found in modern vehicles, but if comfort was what you look for, then you've missed the brief of what makes this vehicle so special. The only comfort offered to you in this example is a functioning air conditioning and a heater to keep you safe while you expedite the unknown with the Land Cruiser
Engine
One of the most common engines found in the J40 was the 4.2-liter inline-six gasoline engine, which was capable of producing up to 135 horsepower and 210 lb-ft of torque. This engine featured overhead valves and a carburetor and was known for its durability and reliability.
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.
The 2002 Toyota MR2 Spyder is a lightweight, mid-engine roadster built around a simple formula that enthusiasts still appreciate today: low weight, rear-wheel drive, a manual gearbox, and open-top driving. Showing approximately 48,326 miles, this example is finished in the especially eye-catching Electric Green Mica and pairs its 1.8L naturally aspirated inline-four with a 5-speed manual transmission. It also benefits from a number of enthusiast-oriented upgrades, including 15-inch Koenig Helium wheels, stainless steel headers, a MagnaFlow Y-pipe and catalytic converter, and an HKS performance exhaust, giving this MR2 a more distinctive look and sound while retaining the basic character that made the third-generation MR2 such an engaging sports car.
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.
