As an owner of a 1971 FJ40 and a past Toyota parts manager (And I still have the parts Micro-fische cards and reader!) This cruiser is nice but also 8banger is 100% correct. Survivor-grade FJ40s are always in demand, so this one will likely pull a strong final number.īlondeUXB, you are correct. The seller reports no mechanical issues or leaks, and it seems like this Toyota led a charmed life in terms of residing in the care of a longtime original owner who made sure it wasn’t left outside or otherwise driven in conditions causing it to succumb to rust. These aren’t often modified too heavily under the hood, but it’s clear this FJ40 remains bone stock. In particular, the engine bay is very clean, and the valve cover looks practically new. The odometer reads just under 47,000 miles, and while the seller doesn’t go so far as to verify that, it does seem likely given the condition on display here. Other bits and baubles that come with the truck include the original dealer-supplied grease gun, owner’s manual, extra OEM keys, and more. There are two winch remotes for the Hickey Sidewinder winch, and you’ve also got a set of Warn lock-out hubs to help when the going gets tough. Of course, it’s a manual, and from the driver’s seat you have a variety of controls on the outside of the truck to help with off-road excursions. The FJ40’s are simple affairs inside, so it’s not as if there’s a lot to worry about in terms of power features failing. The interior looks fairly tidy, with a sharp black vinyl bench and no obvious damage to the dash or floors. The seller reports he has the original rolling stock with factory steel wheels and hubcaps, but he opted for newer rubber with more modern wheels I would absolutely run the original wheels on an FJ40 in this sort of condition. Plus, you throw in the manner in which these trucks were used – from rock hopping to snow plowing – so it’s of little surprise that so few are left in this sort of condition. That’s simply not easy to do – keeping a truck like this rust-free – as the sheetmetal was vulnerable even when it was practically new. The FJ40 looks incredibly solid from every angle, which is mildly shocking considering it has resided in the northeast most of its life. Find the Toyota here on eBay where bidding has reached $23,000 with no reserve.

The seller purchased it from the original owner, who purchased the truck new from Richard Toyota in Olyphant, PA.

Not many Land Cruisers of this vintage still have their original window sticker and sales receipt, but this one does. The seller lists how the FJ40 still had the original tires mounted when he found it, and that it was loaded up since new with all sorts of cool, in-period trail riding equipment. This 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser is described as being an incredible survivor, with loads of original details and equipment you don’t find on a vehicle this old.
