Vehicle Description

NEW LISTING!!! Original Freeborn Red (code 309) 1972 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with 82380 original miles(according to previous owners), Power Steering and Air Conditioning. This amazing Land Cruiser is barely broke in and has been lovingly cared for over the last 36 years. There has been regular maintenance and the previous owners have done what was needed along the way to keep the Land Cruiser looking good and running in top condition. This FJ40 has survived over three decades while remaining essentially stock in time bubble condition. It runs like top and drives great. No modifications have been done to this Toyota. The inline six cylinder purrs quietly and the steering, clutch and 4-Wheel Drive transmission are all in good working order as they should be for a vehicle with only 83,000 babied  miles. The floors are all solid, all turn signals, lights, wipers, taillights, backup lights, license plate lights, side markers and all gauges work as they should. Much of the paint appears to be original. Stock wheels and hubcaps, original mats, all new upholstery just installed (it was cloth due to the Palm Springs hot climate). Body and undercarriage are very well preserved because of the dry desert climate. The Cruiser has nice accents which includes all the door hinges, hood hinges, kick vents and fuel door. The FJ40 suspension is comprised of rugged solid axles, new leaf springs from Specter Off Road that provides an additional 2.5" of ground clearance, shackles and Pro Comp shock absorbers at both ends. This FJ40 has factory Power Steering which makes it a dream to drive. The truck's original 4-speed manual transmission serves up legendary off-roading prowess. Front disc and rear drum brake combination for quick and responsive braking. At the back of the truck's frame you will find bumperettes flanking a military style pintle hook. Under it all you will find 15 inch OEM Gray steel wheels with NEW 31x10.50 Yokohama tires. Inside this classic you will find the original seats covered in new, factory correct vinyl. The interior door panels, mats, dashpad and headliner are in beautiful condition. Between the seats you will find the original console topped off with a vintage Con-Ferr center console with gray vinyl armrest. Below the dashpad, you will find some nice upgrades. The radio has been replaced with a Pioneer AM/FM/CD with free standing 6x9 speakers in gray carpeted boxes in back. The clear stock gauges and controls all work well and for extra added comfort, you'll stay nice and cool on hot summer days with air conditioning designed by Cool Cruisers. A little Land Cruiser History; 1978 was a great year for the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. By 1978 you had the ambulance doors in the rear that replaced the old lift tailgate, larger square front Turn Signals with side markers. Wipers were moved to bottom of windshield. 4:11 gearing provided excellent off road performance. Front disk brakes, Tubular spare tire mount, Pop-out rear windows gave passengers in back some fresh air. This FJ40 includes the Owners manual, Toolkit, Jack, Jack rods.  This is a beautiful unmolested, factory-original FJ40 that you can drive everyday. Quality vintage Land Cruisers like this represent an investment you can make and have been appreciating quickly over the past several years!
