Details

This U.S. spec 1977 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 is powered by a 4.2L (2F) inline six-cylinder engine that sends power to all four wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The truck is the recipient of a father-son restoration over the last couple of years and has received body and paintwork. The exterior is painted a two-tone teal-blue and white, and the interior has matching new two-tone seat covers. The truck features rear disc brakes, HVAC, and a dual-range transfer case. During the refurbishment, the vehicle was also given a new vacuum system by Redline Toyota in Colorado Springs, new electrical for the starter motor, roof rack, winch, and refinished wheels with new tires. The vehicle shows 27,615 miles on the odometer but the actual mileage is unknown. It is located in Colorado.

The third-party photos of the FJ55 show, in great detail, the condition of the vehicle. The truck does show signs of bodywork and rust in the lower sections, which are pictured well in the photo library. Additional paint correction and body panel fitment may be needed. The odometer, rear window, radio, and interior lights are said to be inoperable, and the rear bumper end caps are missing. The interior is in good condition with new seat covers, and the inspection and owner revealed the truck to be in good mechanical condition. Included in the sale are 2 keys, the original carburetor, and a miscellaneous box of parts.

This FJ is being sold through a CLASSIC.COM Pro and is located in Colorado Springs.

About the model

Commonly known as the "Iron Pig," the FJ55 was produced for model years 1967 to 1980 and was the first true station wagon in the Land Cruiser series. Although the FJ55 was classified as a commercial-use vehicle in Japan, it was positioned as a passenger vehicle in overseas markets where it was principally sold. The 4-door wagon was based on the 40 Series gasoline drivetrain (3-speed, F engine, 125 hp) and replaced the 4-door FJ45LV with a longer wheelbase. In 1975, it received a much-needed upgrade to the Toyota 2F engine with better efficiency, power, and a 4-speed manual transmission.
