The Toyota Land Cruiser was introduced in 1960 and would be built in various configurations for a quarter-century. They were used throughout unsettled and remote areas of the world where their durability and capability were invaluable. Toyota paid its homage to the model in 2004 when it introduced the retro-styled FJ Cruiser, some twenty years after the original's production run ended.
This example was manufactured in November of 1978. It is a two-door hardtop finished in period correct Olive exterior color, neatly accented by the white roof. The 4,230cc overhead valve inline 6-cylinder engine has a single carburetor and delivers 125 horsepower at 3,600 RPM. There is a four-speed manual transmission, four-wheel drive, a leaf spring suspension, front disc, and rear drum brakes.By Daniel Vaughan | Sep 2021
