1970 Toyota FJ40

1970 Toyota FJ40 Description

Gateway Classic Cars of Ft. Lauderdale is proud to offer a pristine rugged 1970 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. Toyota sits in the off road enthusiasts hall of fame thanks to this vehicle. Toyota rolled out the FJ40 series in 1960 and competed with the likes of Land Rovers, Jeeps, and later the Ford Bronco and Chevrolet K10. The FJ40 was a rugged, two door, 4x4 vehicle with amazing off road capabilities, and rather primitive interior treatments. The hard top is removable so open air cruising is a possibility. FJs came without carpet, and with vinyl upholstery so even if you're out in the mud and in the elements, they're easy to keep clean. The front sports two bucket seats and the rear has "jump seats" which can be folded aside for more cargo space. Under the hood of this particular Land Cruiser you'll find an Inline 4.2l 6 cylinder engine which is backed by a 3 speed manual transmission and a 4x4 transfer case. Stout axle's front and rear and original off road tires will take this thing just about anywhere you want to go. This FJ was lovingly restored in Columbia by the original owner. The restoration was nice and solid with almost every single screw and bolt touched and refurbished. All the underside and frame was rust free and the body panels painted their original Blue color. The engine and transmission were in great working order, but received a good tune up leaving the vehicle ready for the trails! This FJ would make a great weekend runabout or a daily driver, and will put most new 4x4s to shame off pavement. Vintage 4x4s are in high demand, and most have rusted away to nothing. Luckily this Toyota has been well preserved and is ready for many more years of duty. You can see this 1970 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser in greater detail in our Ft. Lauderdale showroom.
