The Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser was developed in the early-1950s and was based on the Willys M38 Jeep. When Toyota and Land Rover went head-to-head in the 1960s, Toyota won nearly every encounter. The short-wheelbase FJ40 was rigid and durable and made considerable inroads into the Jeep market in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s. Toyota then re-focused its attention to the rest of the world in the 1980s. The barebones FJ40 was built in Brazil as the Bandeirante, in Venezuela as the Macho, and Australia still offers the updated 70 series for their rugged terrain. The final FJ40s were imported to the United States in 1983, after being replaced by the Land Cruiser SUV.
This 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser was purchased new in El Paso, TX. and remained with the original owners in Capitan, NM, until purchased by the current owners in 2004. It is in good restored condition with just 75,000 miles. The restoration ended in 2005. The F2 overhead valve straight six displaces 4.2 liters and offers 135 horsepower. There is a four-speed gearbox, original tool kit, owner's manual, and original cans of touch-up paint. The vehicle is finished in Toyota Blue paint.By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2013
