First introduced in 1960, the 40-Series Land Cruiser has become a renowned symbol of off-road prowess and rugged durability. This 1978 Toyota FJ40 underwent a restoration in Colombia before being imported to the United States in December 2023. It is refinished in white over a reupholstered black vinyl interior and is powered by a 4.2-liter 2F inline-six engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Notable features include a tan soft top, 15” steel wheels, manually locking front hubs, power steering, a heater, and an aftermarket radio. This FJ40 is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Florida.
As part of its restoration, this example was refinished in white and fitted with a replacement tan soft top. It features silver-finished bumpers, driving lights, dual side mirrors, rear ambulance-style doors, and manually locking front hubs. The truck rides on gray-finished 15” steel wheels wrapped in Lima Caucho Super J95P tires, with a matching spare mounted in the rear. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The refurbished interior offers front bucket and inward-facing rear jump seats reupholstered in black vinyl, complemented by a body-color dashboard, vinyl door panel inserts, and black rubber floor covers. It comes equipped with a three-spoke steering wheel, manual wind-up windows, and an aftermarket stereo head unit.
Power comes from a 4.2-liter 2F inline-six featuring a rebuilt single carburetor and is delivered to the rear or all four wheels by way of a 4-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. The seller notes that an oil change was last performed in December 2023.
This sale will include a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: "This Beautiful, Fully Restored FJ 40 is ready to go.

The full restoration took place in Columbia by a known Toyota FJ Specialist who exports the majority to the USA. This FJ has a recent service and brings a smile to all who see it. As mentioned, it is ready to go and drives perfectly

@Jjpit this Land Cruiser has Power Steering and a radio but is heater delete. I do not think A/C was an option in 1978 but I may be mistaken. There are kits available to install A/C pretty reasonably.
Does it have A/C and power steering? Does it have a radio and a heater?
