Description

1972 Toyota FJ 40 Land Cruiser
recent off body restoration - chassis sand blasted and powder coated. new window seals. Fiberglass top resurfaced and sealed. New electrical harness, motor mounts and body mounts.
ENGINE
Under the hood and you'll find 3.9 liters of inline 6-cylinder that, according to an ''F'' assembly stamp, is correct to this application. Introduced in 1955, and regarded as one of the all-time great Toyota powerplants, this mill is a favorite among vintage truck buyers because of its simple design, adequate power and excellent durability. At the top of the block, a Dry Type Air Cleaner feeds oxygen to a fresh Weber carburetor, which is seated on a nest of cast Toyota manifolds. At the side of those manifolds, a factory cylinder head brandishes a painted, ''F155'' branded valve cover. Fires get lit by an old school distributor, which jolts fresh plug wires. Cooling comes courtesy of a shrouded radiator, which frames a factory fan. And the truck's clean engine compartment is very well done.
DRIVETRAIN/SUSPENSION
Crawl under this classic and you'll find solid, undercoated floors that appear to have spent most of their life living clean and working hard. The rebuilt 6-cylinder twists power to a correct 3-speed transmission. The truck's chassis rides a solid-axle suspension that plants buff Old Man Emu springs around traditional manual steering. Solid stops are a cinch thanks to power-assisted drums. At the center of the floor, fresh exhaust pipes make good use of a rear mounted muffler.
INTERIOR
Inside this Cruiser, you'll find a spacious and comfortable cockpit that has enough room to be your vehicle of choice for any weekend adventure. The vinyl-wrapped seats include a front split-bench and opposing rear jumps. Opposite those shifters, Yellow doors frame small handles and traditional window cranks. And the driver spins a factory-issue steering wheel around a classy Toyota horn button.
Fully restored and ready to roll, this Land Cruiser is the total package! Wrapping a correct 6-cylinder/3-speed drivetrain in trail-busting bluster that enjoys a diehard following, it's an exclusive invitation to an exclusive niche. Looking for a versatile classic that's fun and collectible? Don't miss the chance to experience this super cool FJ!
