Introduced in 1960, the 40-Series Land Cruiser has long been celebrated for its exceptional off-road capabilities and enduring durability. This 1978 Toyota FJ40 was reportedly restored in Colombia before being imported to the U.S. in December 2023. Finished in white over black upholstery, it is powered by a 4.2-liter 2F inline-six engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and dual-range transfer case. Acquired by the seller here on PCARMARKET, this FJ40 is now being offered for auction out of New York.
During the aforementioned restoration, this FJ40 was refinished in white and fitted with a tan replacement soft top. Exterior details include silver-finished bumpers, auxiliary driving lights, dual side mirrors, and rear ambulance-style doors. Satin black 17” Fuel Anza wheels have been mounted with Nitto Trail Grappler tires and Apex Designs rapid precision valve stems. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The previously refurbished interior presents black upholstery, rubber flooring, and body-colored metal surfaces. Amenities include front bucket seats, inward-facing rear jump seats, manual roll-up windows, a three-spoke steering wheel, and an aftermarket stereo.
Power comes from a previously rebuilt 4.2-liter 2F inline-six engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Additional equipment includes a dual-range transfer case and manually locking front hubs. The seller notes that a recent tune-up and oil change have been performed, and the vehicle has recently passed a safety inspection.

The seller would like you to know: “I purchased this vehicle on PCARMARKET a few months ago for my wife, but she didn’t like the manual transmission. It’s a very nice vehicle in great shape, a very respectable example. Everybody stops and looks at it and loves it.”

Hi to all that are interested in this beautiful truck. I forgot to mention in the listing that I also have the four tires that I purchased when buying a truck and they are basically brand new condition that will come with the truck as well. The fifth tire is actually mounted on the gate as a spare so you can see the condition from that picture.
