Vehicle Description
This 1969 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser is the perfect mix of vintage
and new. After all, this classic 4x4 has a timeless look, but it
also has been given terrific upgrades, like A/C, an overdrive
transmission, and a fuel-injected V8 heart.
One look at this 4x4 and you just want to go on an expedition.
After all, the Dune Beige paint looks like a safari hat. And the
white roof with white grille give this a subtle two-tone. These
FJ40s have a tough-as-nails look with the upright steel body. But
as you dig deeper into this one, you also see some upgrades to make
it even more versatile. The LED rear lights and headlights help
keep the trail lit. It has an Ironman lift for added ground
clearance. Plus, you'll also notice the proper trailer hitch and
full-size spare on a custom swing-away mount. It's all part of a
package that keeps the vintage style while adding extra
usefulness.
The first things that you notice when you open the door are the
great classic Land Cruiser pieces. The bench seat up front with
individual driver's bucket, the durable rubber floor mats, and the
set of side-mounted jump seats in the rear. It's all part of the
classic robust setup. And of course, you can take the hardtop off
any time you want for a true open-air 4x4 experience. But as you
slip behind the classic grippy steering wheel you start to notice
some well-integrated upgrades. The classic-style AutoMeter gauges
are crisp, the Lokar shifter feels nice in your right hand, and
there's even a hidden input to plug your iPod into a stereo system.
And you also now have the addition of R134a air conditioning.
Under the hood is a terrific upgrade to a 350 cubic-inch V8. We
love these Toyotas for their near indestructible reputation, and
the Chevy small block unit shares that kind of status. It's a
professionally installed Vortec crate motor the includes a roller
cam and Edelbrock fuel-injection. So this offers a real upgrade of
extra power and torque. And the four-speed automatic transmission
gives you good ratios and overdrive. Add in power steering, front
disc brakes, and the deep grooves of the BF Goodrich Mud Terrain
tires, and this enhanced Land Cruiser really knows how to live up
to its go-anywhere name.
This is the FJ with serious extra power and poise. So for those who
want their classic 4x4 lifestyle to get elevated, call today!!!
