1978 Toyota Land Cruiser

1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 â?" Restored Body, Undercarriage, and 2F Engine with 5-Speed Overdrive Why This Car Is Special The 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 occupies a specific place in four-wheel-drive history that no other vehicle quite matches. While American buyers were gravitating toward increasingly comfortable and road-focused SUVs through the late 1970s, the FJ40 remained exactly what it had always been: a purpose-built, body-on-frame off-road vehicle engineered to go places other trucks couldn't follow. Toyota had been refining the Land Cruiser formula since the early 1950s, and by 1978 the FJ40 had proven itself on every continent, in the hands of military operators, ranchers, missionaries, and expedition teams who needed something that simply would not quit.
