1973 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40

Description

The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 has long been recognized as one of the most durable and capable four-wheel-drive vehicles ever produced. Known for its rugged body-on-frame construction, dependable inline-six engine, and no-nonsense utility, the FJ40 has become an icon among vintage off-road enthusiasts and collectors alike.

This 1973 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 was acquired by the seller in November 2024. Power comes from a 3.9-liter F inline-six equipped with a Weber carburetor and HEI ignition components, paired with a 3-speed manual transmission and dual-range transfer case. Modifications include power-assisted steering, front disc brakes, and an aftermarket air-conditioning unit.

The truck has been refinished in textured red paint with a contrasting white roof, and it rides on 16" steel wheels wrapped in Goodyear Wrangler off-road tires.

This 1973 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 is now offered with various spare parts and a clean Texas title in the seller’s name.
