Patterned after the ubiquitous Jeep and Land Rover utility vehicles, the Land Cruiser demonstrated that Toyota could produce much more than just economical cars. Introduced in 1960, the FJ40 and its variants remained in production for a quarter century, the kind of longevity that demonstrates true value, quality and utility. They became indispensable in unsettled and remote areas of the world, hauled safaris through Africa, developed a devoted following among America's off-road culture and have spawned a host of imitators. Toyota itself paid its homage to the model in 2004 when it introduced the retro-styled FJ Cruiser to capitalize on the continuing image and popularity of the Land Cruiser some twenty years after the original's production run ended. The Land Cruiser's popularity and utility is reflected in the number of variants in which it was built. There were in fact so many that it is probably impossible to identify all of them, but they came in short, medium, long and extra-long wheelbase, with a variety of roofs, half cabs, soft tops and doors, with four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. They climb mountains, cross deserts, ford rivers, balance their way over rock falls – they are one of the archetypical utility vehicles and today finding a good vintage example can be difficult. THE MOTORCAR OFFERED Offered here is freshly restored example of the classic FJ 40 in the iconic two-door Hard Top configuration. The Land Cruiser features the 4.2-Liter OHV Inline six-cylinder petrol engine, which offers adequate of torque and horsepower. This fine example was treated to a recent comprehensive restoration in Venezuela and is finished in a striking Olive Green exterior color over a grey and black interior. An extensive series of photographs and parts receipts documents the restoration of the bodywork and various componentry in detail. The result today is nothing short of breathtaking; the Land Cruiser appears as if it has just driven out of the 1970s Toyota sales brochure that boasts of its 4-Wheel-Drive capabilities.
