Here’s a properly sorted 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60—an honest, driver-grade classic with the right mix of originality and upkeep—offered for $31,995 on consignment by PCAP Motors. Showing 212,000 miles, this Missouri-rooted truck spent 35 years in a single state before heading east in 2022, and presents in classic red over gray cloth and vinyl with its legendary 4.2L 2F inline-six, 4-speed manual, and dual-range transfer case intact. With recent mechanical refreshes, period-correct details like chrome bumpers and KC lights, and full-time 4x4 capability, this FJ60 delivers exactly what buyers want in a usable vintage Land Cruiser.

Legendary 60 Series Roots: The FJ60 represents a pivotal evolution in Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 history, blending the rugged DNA of earlier 40 Series trucks with improved comfort and usability for daily driving. Produced during the 1980s, it introduced a more family-friendly wagon body while retaining the bulletproof reputation that made Land Cruisers global icons.
Bulletproof Inline-Six Power: Under the hood sits the carbureted 4.2L 2F inline-six, factory-rated at 135 hp and 210 lb-ft of torque, paired to a 4-speed manual transmission and 2-speed transfer case for true off-road versatility. Recent service includes a new radiator, valve cover gasket, thermostat, power steering pump, and transmission pan, though the dealer notes a minor oil leak and removed emissions equipment.
Classic Overland Presence: Finished in red with prior repaint work on the hood and right quarter panel, this FJ60 wears 15” chrome wheels wrapped in Goodyear Wrangler A/T tires, chrome bumpers with black end caps, and classic KC auxiliary lights. Additional features include dual round headlights, locking front hubs, a rear wiper, and the signature split tailgate.
Purposeful Vintage Cabin: Inside, the cabin is trimmed in patterned gray cloth and vinyl with front bucket seats and a folding rear bench, maintaining a period-correct look. Amenities include air conditioning, an aftermarket stereo, center console, and rear defroster—simple, functional, and true to the FJ ethos.
Honest Driver Provenance: With 212k miles (approx. 5k added by the current owner), this Land Cruiser carries a clean Massachusetts title and a CARFAX showing a 1989 accident, service history entries, and open recalls. Recent work in 2023 includes brake hoses, sway bar links, shocks, and a brake master cylinder, while noted flaws include minor rust near the spare carrier and a missing washer reservoir cap.

This is the kind of Land Cruiser that hits the sweet spot—honest, usable, and properly sorted where it counts. It hasn’t been over-restored or stripped of character, and instead offers the mechanical updates needed to actually drive and enjoy it. Between its long-term Missouri history, recent maintenance, and classic spec, it’s a strong candidate for someone looking to get into a vintage Land Cruiser without chasing a six-figure build. If you’ve been waiting for a clean, driver-quality FJ60 with real provenance and usability, this one checks the right boxes and sits squarely in the zone for enthusiasts who value authenticity over flash.
