1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40

Description

The Land Cruiser is truly becoming the next great classic 4x4. But even as they keep appreciating, few have the right mix of classic ruggedness and solid investment like you see on this 1978 Toyota FJ40. It has all the right legendary style while also offering a nice metallic glow, a Bluetooth stereo, cold A/C, and more.

The modern gray paint makes this one look like it's forged from granite, but there's also a nice metallic flair to give this 4x4 a true cruiser appeal. And that sets the tone for the full package. It's a good-looking classic that has good lines to show off at cars & coffee, but the full package is never shying away from being used like the kind of 4x4 that earned these FJ40s their tough-as-nails reputation. We like how they skipped the chrome and silver, and instead, there's a coordinated black on the bumpers, grille, wheels, and trim that all look great against the paint. Plus, they kept the roof white to stay with tradition and give it distinction.

The interior is clean and comfortable. It keeps the right vintage attitude everywhere from the classic three-spoke steering wheel to the iconic rear side-mounted jump seats. You'll also appreciate handy features like the full roll bar and a large rear door that can help swallow plenty of cargo. And there's also an added level of comfort in this FJ40. High-back front bucket seats, a Tuffy locking center console in-between, and an AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth make this quite accommodating for the driver. And we know you'll especially like the cold-blowing air conditioning.

Toyota's trusty and torque-filled 4.2-liter inline-six is the backbone of the Land Cruiser's robust reputation. Just like the rest of this vehicle, the motor appears to be well-maintained and ready to roll. We even have a receipt showing $4k invested in 2020 for a carburetor rebuild, new wheel bearings and other maintenance items. So you confidently take control of the motor. And the power steering and power brakes are good for any-time cruising. Plus, the four-wheel drive system and all-terrain tires keep the fun going long after the pavement ends.

Complete with maintenance records, this is a great mix of true capability, vintage charm, and worthwhile upgrades. FJ40s like this don't come around too often, so don't miss your chance. Call today!!!
