1989 Toyota Land Cruiser VX FJ62 5-Speed

Description

Introduced as part of the 60 Series lineup, the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62 combined legendary durability with added comfort and convenience, making it a favorite among off-road enthusiasts and overlanders worldwide. By the late 1980s, the FJ62 VX represented a premium specification for select markets, offering a robust inline-six engine, manual gearbox, and practical features suited for both rugged terrain and long-distance touring.

This Middle Eastern-market 1989 Toyota Land Cruiser VX FJ62 was reportedly purchased by the seller in 2020 from the family of its original owner in Yemen. Now showing approximately 88,500 kilometers (~55,000 miles), it is finished in two-tone beige and gray with orange and gold side graphics. Power comes from a 4.0-liter 3F inline-six paired with a two-speed transfer case and a five-speed manual transmission—the FJ762 gearbox option not originally offered in the United States. Equipment includes rear barn doors, inward-facing jump seats, air conditioning, a Kenwood Bluetooth stereo head-unit, and a center console ice maker. Recent maintenance reportedly includes a new alternator, battery, and Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires mounted on factory 15" steel wheels.
