1990 Toyota Banderainte FJ

Location: Guthrie, Oklahoma

Why It's Curated: This 1990 Toyota Bandeirante FJ is for sale in Guthrie, Ok. The Toyota Bandeirante is one of the more obscure and genuinely interesting chapters in Toyota's global history -- a Land Cruiser-derived utility vehicle produced exclusively in Brazil from 1958 to 2001, engineered specifically for the demands of jungle and backcountry roads. This example is powered by a Mercedes-Benz OM 364 S diesel four-cylinder mated to a four-speed manual, a pairing that reflects the Bandeirante's practical, purpose-built character. The odometer shows 14,000 miles, though mileage is unverified. A frame-off restoration was initiated in 2015 and completed in 2017, with full documentation included -- written in Portuguese, which speaks to the vehicle's authentic provenance. It rides on 15-inch white wagon wheels with Goodyear AT tires and comes with five original steel rims. A roof rack and rear fuel can carrier add functional utility, and the sale includes a substantial collection of spare parts -- rotors, alternator, shocks, and brakes among them. Some paint chips and surface defects are present. This Bandeirante suits a serious collector or adventurer drawn to rare, working-history vehicles with genuine international character.

Model History: The Toyota Bandeirante was the Brazilian-market variant of the iconic Land Cruiser FJ series, produced throughout the latter half of the twentieth century. These rugged utility vehicles were designed for demanding terrain and were equipped with robust mechanical components. The 1990 generation featured traditional leaf-spring suspension and capable four-wheel-drive systems, often paired with diesel powerplants including Mercedes-Benz engines sourced for the Brazilian market. The Bandeirante maintained the classic Land Cruiser design philosophy—simplicity, durability, and off-road capability—with a focus on practical utility over creature comforts. Its longevity in production reflected strong demand in South American markets for dependable work vehicles and expedition transportation.
