Among the iconic 40-Series Toyota Land Cruisers, this 1976 FJ45 pickup stands out with its desirable long-bed configuration and 4.2-liter inline-six engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission and four-wheel drive. Finished in grey with matching interior upholstery, it has been upgraded with a grey tonneau cover, Warn winch, Hella auxiliary driving lights, and 16” wheels fitted with off-road tires. Imported from the Netherlands in January 2025, this FJ45 is now being offered for auction by the selling dealer out of New York.
This long-wheelbase FJ45 is a two-door pickup variant equipped with a long bed and was previously refinished in grey. Exterior features include a front-mounted Warn winch, rear tow hitch with wiring, a metal roof rack with four Hella driving lights, and a grey tonneau cover. It rides on black-painted 16” wheels with Comforser CF3000 tires dated 2018 and reportedly in like-new condition. The seller notes areas of exterior wear including touch-up paint, minor rust spots, and a small chip in the windshield. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The cabin features grey vinyl upholstery with body-colored surrounds. Equipment includes a black three-spoke steering wheel, analog instrumentation, various switchgear, a locking glovebox, roll-up windows, rubber floor mats, and a fire extinguisher mounted on the passenger side. A backup camera has also been installed. Signs of age are noted on some painted surfaces along with scratches on the floor.
This Land Cruiser is equipped with a 4.2-liter inline-six engine factory-rated at 135 HP and 210 lb-ft of torque. The rear or all four wheels are driven by way of a 4-speed manual transmission and a 2-range transfer case. No outstanding mechanical issues have been reported.
This sale will include a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “This 1976 Toyota FJ45 pickup was recently imported from the Netherlands in January and now holds a clean New York State title. Mechanically, it's solid. Starts reliably every time and runs as it should. The body has seen some touch-up paint and does show minor rust spots around the exterior, so it's not perfect cosmetically. That said, it's a solid truck overall and a great candidate for a collection or light restoration. A rare find that's ready to be driven and enjoyed!”

@burnsy Judging by the heater, seats and VIN/Data plate, it most likely originated in the Middle East as a GCC spec or RHD Euro Spec converted to LHD. South American Land Cruisers very rarely had heaters, let alone what appears to be a factory heater. SA 45s would have had a primitive thin split bench seat at that time, whereas the GCC, JDM and Euro spec 45s had plusher buckets and split benches. SA VIN/Data plates were a different style and much more primitive too.
Also, these were utilitarian purpose built (almost disposable vehicles) at the time. The cost to relocate a vehicle from South America to Europe would be astronomical and counterintuitive, but could be justified from the Middle East. Lastly, the center dash bezel was not introduced until 1980. This being a 1978 indicates it was modified later and since there were dash modifications could indicate it was originally a RHD JDM or Euro spec converted to LHD. In reality, nobody knows for sure, but very unlikely a SA.

@Burnsy we are unsure about the country it originally came from. It was purchased from the Netherlands but the history before that is currently unknown. I just reached out to the previous owner and will put the response down here in the comments section if the auction is still live.
Is it originally out of South America?
