RESERVE REMOVED: 1971 Toyota FJ-40

OVERVIEW

This 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 4x4 comes from 40-year prior ownership and was recently imported to the United States. It is powered by a 3.9-liter 2F inline-six mated to a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Recent work includes corrosion repair, an electrical system refresh, and a tune-up. Equipment includes aluminum wheels and locking front hubs. Finished in red with a white soft top over a gray vinyl interior, this FJ40 is now offered with import documentation, customs and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) paperwork, an invoice, and an international title.

EXTERIOR – FEATURES

This Land Cruiser FJ40 received rust repair and a repaint under the seller’s direction following acquisition from its prior 40-year owner internationally. The exterior is finished in red with white accents and features a newer white canvas removable top. The glass and rubber were reportedly replaced as part of the refurbishment. Exterior features include a side-exit exhaust, a tow receiver, and a swing-away spare tire in a vinyl cover at the rear.

EXTERIOR – WHEELS AND TIRES

Cast aluminum 15-inch wheels are wrapped in Rydanz tires.

INTERIOR – FEATURES

The interior is fitted with gray vinyl bucket seats up front, inward-facing jump seats in the rear, and matching upholstery for the door panels and the upper dash pad. Equipment includes manual-crank windows, rubber flooring material, a floor-mounted emergency brake, and a cigarette lighter.

INTERIOR – GAUGES

According to the seller, the odometer and other gauges were replaced during the refurbishment process. Instrumentation includes a 160-KM/H speedometer along with gauges for the oil pressure, fuel level, coolant temperature, and voltage. The five-digit mechanical odometer reads 3,212 kilometers (1,966 miles); the true kilometrage on this vehicle is unknown.

ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION

The carbureted 3.9-liter 2F inline-six received fluid changes, a tune-up, and a refreshed electrical system under the seller’s ownership. Power is sent to all four wheels via a floor-shifted four-speed manual transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and manually locking front hubs.

UNDERCARRIAGE

The brake system has been serviced.
