Vehicle History & Overview

According to the included documentation, this FJ40 was sold new to its Venezuela-based owner in December 1980 and was later imported to the US. Per the included Barrett-Jackson description, the vehicle underwent a complete restoration utilizing Genuine Toyota parts circa 2017. The current owner acquired the vehicle via a Barrett-Jackson auction in 2019. It is being sold on consignment through the listing dealer. Modifications appear to be limited to retractable seat belts. Purchase documents, a Venezuela registration, hard doors, soft-top, and factory owner’s manual are included.

The FJ40-series Land Cruiser was launched in 1960. Thanks to simple body-on-frame construction, reasonable dimensions, and a back-to-basics approach in terms of interior and drivetrain, the FJ40 was very competitive in the marketplace. Over the years the Land Cruiser has earned a reputation for incredible reliability and near-indestructibility. That reputation has helped make the FJ40 and its derivatives very popular among off-roaders as well as for military applications. Production carried through 2001 for the Brazilian market, despite ROW production ending in 1984.
