The FJ40 made considerable inroads into the Jeep market in the U.S. in the 1960s and 1970s. Toyota then shifted its focus to the rest of the world in the 1980s; the barebones FJ40 was built in Brazil as the Bandeirante, in Venezuela as the Macho, and Australia still offers the updated 70 series for their rugged terrain. The last FJ40’s were imported to the U.S. in 1983, after being replaced by a softer Land Cruiser SUV. Now, even the newest FJ40’s in the U.S. are 30 years old, and as survivors, they are becoming scarce and the prices are rising. This 1979 Toyota has been built with a strong inline six-cylinder engine that is connected to a strong four-speed manual transmission and a four-wheel drive system that features high and low gears. This Toyota has been fitted with standard features that include front bucket seats, rear fold-down seats, rear ambulance style doors, rear-mounted spare tire and a heater and defroster unit.
