Steel Blue paint, a soft top, and a four-speed manual give this 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 a straightforward, classic appeal. For sale by private party in Burlington, Wisconsin, it pairs a reportedly rebuilt 4.2L 2F inline-six with four-wheel drive, locking front hubs, and dual fuel tanks. The seller, who has owned this vehicle for 28 years, reports approximately 141,000 miles. Previously purchased from a Toyota dealer in Texas, this FJ40 has received bodywork and a repaint, along with black powder-coated accents. The owner reports indoor storage, infrequent use, and no exposure to Wisconsin winters or salted roads. A disassembled hardtop and ambulance-style rear doors accompany the truck.
- Rebuilt Inline-Six & Four-Speed Manual: The 4.2L 2F inline-six reportedly received a rebuild and features MSD ignition equipment. A four-speed manual transmission keeps the driving experience hands-on, while the seller reports that the truck runs well.
- Steel Blue Finish & Black Accents: Bodywork and a complete repaint changed the exterior from yellow to Steel Blue, complemented by black powder-coated accent pieces. The seller reports no rust.
- Traditional Four-Wheel-Drive Equipment: A dual-range transfer case and Warn manually locking front hubs provide selectable four-wheel drive. Dunlop Rover A/T tires round out the setup.
- Soft Top With Hardtop Components Included: Currently configured with a soft top, the truck also includes its hardtop, rear roof sides, and ambulance-style doors. Those components retain their yellow finish, and the seller reports that all original glass remains intact.
- Indoor Storage & Disclosed Condition: The owner describes the FJ40 as rarely driven and stored indoors. Known issues include a small valve-cover oil leak and an inoperative temperature gauge, with the remaining gauges reported to work.
This FJ40 retains the mechanical character that makes an older Land Cruiser appealing: inline-six power, a manual gearbox, and selectable four-wheel drive. Its Steel Blue finish adds a different look, while the included hardtop components give the next owner options beyond the current soft-top configuration. Indoor storage and the seller’s reported avoidance of salted roads are additional points of interest.
