1970 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40

Location: Cincinnati, OH

Why It’s Curated: This clean Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 for sale received a mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment in 2017. Originally a California vehicle, it is refinished in an off-white over grey, with corrosion corrected, the engine refurbished, and other mechanical items dealt with. We will never forget the first time we rode in an FJ40. It was in California in the mid-90s and we’d take it over the hill to go mountain biking by the beach. Nothing screamed youth, California, and fun more than those trips. Perhaps you can recreate a bit of that fun yourself with this FJ40.
