1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40

Gorgeous Restoration, Stock and Like New!

Harry's Thoughts

This is a gorgeous FJ40 painted in a perfect color for the desert. This is most likely better than any new 1978 FJ40 ever built from the factory.

THE ESSENTIALS

Now live on the Bring-a-trailer online auction, we are pleased to present this rare example.  Closing Sunday, April 19th.  This is a beautiful restored 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 that needs nothing to be enjoyed and can be shown at any regional show or concours.  Whether for use as a classic driver or for regional shows, this is a wonderful example in every respect.

This 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 was the subject of a refurbishment in approximately 2000 and has been finished in bronze metallic over beige vinyl. Powered by a 4.2-liter 2F inline-six linked to a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case, the truck features a removable hardtop with a beige roof as well as power steering, front disc brakes, 15″ steel wheels, a roll bar, an Eclipse CD stereo, and inward-facing rear jump seats.

The truck has been repainted bronze metallic and features a removable hardtop with a beige roof as well as a chrome front bumper and rear bumperettes, rear ambulance-style doors, and a tow ball.

Gray 15″ steel wheels feature polished hubcaps and are mounted with 30×9.5″ Yokohama Geolandar H/T G056 tires, and a matching spare is affixed to a swing-away rear carrier. The truck is equipped with manually locking front hubs and power steering. Braking is from front discs and rear drums.

The front bucket seats and inward-facing rear jump seats are trimmed in beige vinyl, and appointments include a roll bar, a heater, an Eclipse CD stereo, and aftermarket speakers.

The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 100-mph speedometer and gauges for oil pressure, fuel level, coolant temperature, and amperage. The five-digit odometer shows 58k miles, approximately 2k of which were added under current ownership.

The 4.2-liter 2F inline-six is equipped with a single carburetor. The thermostat was replaced in 2021 and the oil pan was changed in 2022.

ower is routed to the rear or all four wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case.
