Please note that experience shows us that the photobucket of over 100 large pixel pictures posted here are in most cases best viewed and downloaded using the very latest and most updated version of the 'Firefox' browser as some other browsers and especially older browser versions are not capable of accommodating the size of the download. Over the years our clients have overwhelmingly been appreciative of our many unaltered large pixel photos posted in our ads and our feedback has been that it is very rare that a seller will post all but the most flattering of photographs. We prefer to expose the complete roll of film taken of the car, in sometimes unflattering but natural sunlight, in order for our prospective buyers to be able to see true and reliable images of the car advertised and that is the reason for some seemingly duplicated shots. We trust you will agree.  

West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional example of this very rare rust free and all original and stock California 1972 Toyota Landcruiser 3.9L 6 Cylinder 4WD in the most desirable rigid 2 Door hardtop body-style with no history or signs of any body work or of having ever been off-road!

The Toyota Landcruiser is the longest running series for Toyota and certainly one of the finest true off road 4WD full size sport utility vehicles ever built and a legendary performer in the harshest of settings as proved through extensive testing by Toyota in the Australian outback, notorious for extreme temperatures and terrain and where it became hugely popular and Australia's best selling full size body on frame four wheel drive vehicle ever! Production started in 1954 and by 1973 over 300K Landcruisers had been sold worldwide; a true testament of their legendary capabilities! It was produced as a convertible, a Hardtop, a Station Wagon and there was a Utility Truck version.

This particular example is an all stock 1972 FJ40 2 Door Hardtop with its date correct original F series (F 318-799) 3,878cc 6 cylinder engine with reportedly only 83K original miles . The odometer reads 83,197 miles and although undocumented is stated as original by its previous long time owner and believed to be original. The FJ40 series is an iconic and classic series and these trucks are now being sought after like never before with stock models like this one prized by enthusiasts for remodeling with no expense spared. The FJ40 series (1960-83) initially sported a 3.9L 6 cylinder engine with a 3 speed manual gearbox like this example until 1975 when it sported a larger and more powerful 4.2L 2F version. The FJ40 finally had low range gearing but continued with a 3 speed main gearbox.

This particular example was recently purchased from its most recent southern California owner and it was obviously always well maintained and serviced, probably never off-road with no damage - babied all the way! Reecent mechanical work includes:

All new front and rear suspension
Complete front and rear brake job
New master cylinder
Complete tune up
New spark plugs and wires
New air filter
All oils replaced with synthetic
Complete clutch job with new clutch
All new weather stripping
Interior redone with new upholstery
New paint job
New tires
Newly rebuilt carburetor
New rear light harness

The 'Powder Blue' color paint has recently been finished and is very striking and the black vinyl front seats and rear seat and third row fold-away 'jump seats' have been recently reupholstered and are obviously therefore in beautiful condition! This well maintained truck and recently mechanically restored truck runs very strong, the transmission shifts smoothly through the gears and the temperature always remains cool and all the lights are working as normal - drives exactly like such a well maintained and low mileage example should!

You will look long and hard to find a finer example of this increasingly desirable and legendary FJ40 series Toyota Landcruiser in the rigid 2 door hardtop body-style with a removable hardtop and drop down windshield for the ultimate 'Safari' style 4x4 and with this particular model still mostly all stock and with no history or signs of any accidents or rust and only owned by obviously very careful and mature owner's who probably never took the truck off-road!
