cleanOffered by a private party, this original and unmolested 1975 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser is priced at $20,000 and shows just 48,270 original miles. It retains its original interior, original sheet metal, and all original glass, finished in honest patina with rust limited to the door bottoms and tub edges. Recently brought to a solid, dependable driver standard by a former GM-certified mechanic, this FJ40 has received extensive mechanical refreshing including brakes, suspension service, cooling system updates, full fluid service with OEM-spec lubricants, a new CCOT OEM-spec fuel tank, fresh weather stripping, LED headlamps, and careful preservation work such as a new headliner and fiberglass repair, while keeping modifications light and easily reversible.
- Land Cruiser roots: Introduced in the early 1960s, the FJ40 became the global benchmark for durability and off-road reliability, earning its reputation on work sites, expeditions, and battlefields alike. This 1975 example represents the final era of classic 40-Series production and remains a true survivor with original mileage, interior, and body panels.
- Simple, mechanical drivetrain: Power comes from Toyota’s carbureted inline-six running a points ignition system, paired to the factory manual transmission and dual-range transfer case. The carburetor has been replaced but operates flawlessly with a manual choke, and all fluids have been changed and filled with OEM-spec lubricants.
- Honest steel and careful updates: Exterior preservation includes full weather-strip replacement during roof removal, internal fiberglass gel coat work, a small external crack repair, replaced door hinge pins, and updated LED headlamps. All original glass remains crack-free, a new CCOT OEM-spec fuel tank has been installed, and the spare tire mount is included.
- Original cabin, lightly equipped: The interior remains original and unmolested, highlighted by a newly installed headliner and a cleaned and lubricated headlamp switch fitted with an OEM Japan-built bulb. Easily removable additions include auxiliary manual temperature and oil pressure gauges, an onboard air compressor, a Bluetooth stereo with subwoofer, and a loud air horn.
- Mechanic-owned and properly sorted: Owned and refreshed by a former GM-certified mechanic, this FJ40 has received new shocks, new spring shackles and bushings, rebuilt brakes including linings, drums, wheel cylinders, and master cylinder, plus a fully serviced cooling system. The sale includes Toyota OEM factory service manuals and parts receipts, and the truck is represented with 48,270 original miles and solid daily-driver reliability.
This FJ40 offers what seasoned Land Cruiser buyers value most: originality, mechanical honesty, low miles, and preservation over polish. With extensive recent mechanical work, light and reversible upgrades, and the character only a true survivor can carry, it’s ready to be driven daily, preserved as-is, or thoughtfully elevated. Examples like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find, and this one stands out as a genuine, unmolested 40-Series with real usability.
