Finished in a classic shade of tan, this Chevy V8 powered 1972 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser oozes vintage appeal throughout. In the world of rugged, do-anything off-road vehicles, few nameplates have the cachet of Toyota's Land Cruiser. Known around the globe for bulletproof reliability, Toyota launched the third generation of its now-famous Land Cruiser in 1960. The FJ40 succeeded the ""20 series"" model, and official importation to the United States began in 1963. Within two .....
years, the FJ40 Land Cruiser had become the best-selling Toyota in America. Improvements were incorporated over the years, but the FJ would remain essentially the same cosmetically until it went out of production after the 1984 model year.
This 1972 FJ40 two-door hardtop shows signs of being carefully enjoyed and not abused. Sitting up on black 17-inch American Racing wheels wrapped with LT285/70R17 BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A tires, other features include a new ARB front bumper with Warn winch, upgraded headlights, tinted glass, rear bumper with hitch receiver and rear cargo rack, as well as a matching spare tire and wheel on a swing mount.
The interior has been fitted with upgraded and comfortable bucket seats, roll bar, locking Tuffy console with hidden Sony AM/FM/CD radio, air conditioning, white-faced VDO gauges and a tilt steering column topped with a grippy Pontiac steering wheel.
