1987 Toyota Land Cruiser V8 5-Speed

Location: Houston, TX

Why It’s Curated: This 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 with a V8 and Toyota H55 5-speed conversion is ready to rumble. While the conversion was completed 12-14 years ago, it still only has ~16,000 miles on a NEW at the time 350 V8 crate engine and NEW H55 5-speed transmission (200k on the chassis). It received a repaint from its original white to Toyota grey during this same time period, and the interior looks clean with its reupholstered tan and brown vinyl and crack free dash. We’d love the opportunity to go get rowdy with this beast.
