1978 Used 4WD SUV

1978 Toyota FJ40 Nicely Restored with Air Conditioning and Power Steering Description:

Toyota launched the FJ40 series utility vehicle in 1960. Official importation to the U.S. began in 1963 and within two years the FJ40 Land Cruiser was hands down the best-selling Toyota in America. Cosmetically the FJ was essentially the same truck until it went out of production in 1983 barring minor trim tweaks; however it saw a gradual progression of functional improvements and upgrades over the years shifting from being a bare-bones rock hopper to a commensurately equipped modern SUV 30 years ahead of the curve.The FJ40 was available as open-bodied or fully enclosed two-door wagon. As FJ40s reached the secondary market it became very common for owners to take on engine swaps most notably by replacing the FJ's stock six with a small block Chevy V-8. The Chevy engine certainly yielded more power but Toyota's six-cylinder was essentially a reverse-engineered 235-cid Stovebolt six Chevrolet engine that was indestructible. This is part and parcel why stock power trains will continue to pull big money—few are left versus a fleet of retrofits. Visit JKs Galleria Of Vintage Classic and Pristine Cars for your next vehicle.
