Vehicle Original VIN : FJ40276059
If you've been paying attention, you'll notice that we're not the only ones selling Toyota FJ40 Land Cruisers. Trucks like this comprehensively restored 1978 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser are the hottest things on four wheels right now, but they really don't get much nicer than this gorgeous example. With the right original look, the perfect shade of classic Highbush Tan paint, a comfortable A/C interior, and a go-anywhere drivetrain headed by a bulletproof 4.2L Inline 6, this 4X4 is ready to scale the tallest mountains, cross the deepest rivers, or just take you and your significant other out to dinner in style. Either way, a Yota always gets the job done right.
Apparently, the best shape for a rugged 4x4 is a two-box design with sharp corners, and Toyota has been following that formula successfully for decades. You'll note that this one wears proper Highbush Tan (aka khaki) paint for the real adventurer look and the flat bodywork is remarkably free of damage. Clearly this one hasn't been crawling through the jungles of Burma (or Myanmar for that matter), but rather lived an easy life on pavement somewhere in the warm southern US. Typical Toyota build quality means these trucks are virtually indestructible, but just for good measure someone spent quite a bit of time and effort, not to mention money, getting it back into shape when it was comprehensively, nut-and-bolt, frame-off restored over the course of 2500 labors hours back in 2018. It's been seldomly driven since, with a reported 1,000 kilometers (give or take a few) logged on this FJ since the build was completed. There's an appropriate shine to the top-end, driver quality finish that's not so glaringly perfect that it looks domesticated, and the simple bumpers, distinctive white-framed grille, and full steel doors all reinforce the ready-for-anything vibe. All the trim, glass, rubber weather-stripping was replaced/restored during the build, so it seals up well and it's hard to beat the look of something that treasures function over form like back-to-stock restored FJ.
Much like the exterior, the interior was completely redon back to original specs, starting with the supportive front vinyl seats. Sure, everything is pretty basic inside, but the FJ does it with style, and compared to the slippery chairs in a lot of vintage trucks, these actually help hold you in place while you're playing in the dirt. Rather than simple jump seats that no adult can actually use, you get twin benches facing each other out back, and they're cleverly oriented to maximize the cargo space. No frills is taken to a whole new level with the FJ, which offers painted floors protected by a thick rubber floor coverings, simple vinyl door panels with analog handles, and a beautifully restored steering wheel at the helm. The cleverly designed dash allows easy construction of both right-hand and left-hand drive trucks, with the white instrument panel holding a speedometer and auxiliary gauges that are easy to read. Controls are easy to decipher and everything works as you'd expect from a Toyota.
The 3.8-liter inline-six (aka the 4.2L) has served on at least six continents over the past 50 years and remains one of the most reliable and sturdy machines yet conceived by man. It's also pleasingly torquey and smooth, so you won't regret sitting behind the wheel for a few hours. The point of the FJ isn't all-out speed, so it's fairly stock under the hood, including the black air cleaner, bright valve cover, and neatly arranged wires, belts, and hoses.You'll note there's a modern dual reservoir master cylinder and a power booster, which powers a set of power front disc brakes, a worthwhile safety upgrade, and the A/C compressor is a modern unit from Vintage Air. A 4-speed manual transmission, 2-speed transfer case, and heavy-duty axles provide the go-anywhere part of the FJ's resume, and the suspension, while capable, is civilized enough to use every day on your commute. There's a recent exhaust that has the right sound and it's fitted with proper 6.50-16 tires on the original painted steel wheels.
Make no mistake, FJs are more than just Japanese Jeeps, and the market is speaking. Will this be the one you finally take home for yourself? Call today!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES:
A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY:
Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION: VERY IMPORTANT
. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase. CONDITION: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!

We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle.
