Renowned for its legendary durability and off-road capability, the 40-Series Toyota Land Cruiser was introduced in 1960 as a competitor to the American Jeep and British Land Rover. This 1965 FJ40, refinished in blue over a reupholstered black vinyl interior, is said to have undergone a full restoration at TLC under the direction of Jonathan Ward, the founder of ICON4x4 in Van Nuys, California. Following its restoration, the vehicle was reportedly sold to a collector in Dubai, where it remained for several years before returning to the United States in 2022. Acquired by the seller on PCARMARKET approximately one year ago, this FJ40 is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Texas.
As part of its comprehensive restoration at TLC under the expertise of renowned builder Jonathan Ward, this example was refinished in blue and is accented by a white roof and front grille. Exterior details include a removable hard top, dual rearview mirrors, a tow hitch, and a rear-mounted spare tire. It rides on 15” steel wheels adorned with polished hubcaps and are wrapped in Lion Sport A/T tires bearing 2022 date codes. Some paint touch-ups were performed in the past, and detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The cabin features black vinyl upholstery on the front split bench and inward-facing rear jump seats, accented by blue-painted surrounds. Interior appointments include a black three-spoke steering wheel, black-faced gauges, roll-up windows, door-mounted grab handles, and a glove box. The seller notes that the stereo is currently inoperable.
Power comes from a Toyota F 3.9-liter inline six-cylinder engine, which received an upgraded carburetor, intake, and headers as part of its restoration. The rear or all four wheels are driven through a column-mounted 3-speed manual transmission and dual-range transfer case. An oil change was carried out following the seller’s acquisition.
This sale will include a clean title.
