The FJ43 is raved about by those in the know, and it is considered to be the rarest of the Land Cruiser line. This particular example stands apart from this exclusive status by being “restored like jewelry” by marque specialists. The founder of the restoration company was dedicated to the details and highest quality for their work. Working passionately to restore these vehicles former glory; they also understand that these Toyotas each represent something deep and personal to the admiring public and with that, take joy in the art of a professional Land Cruiser restoration that is accurate to the smallest of minutiae.

Presented in brown with a tan canvas soft-top and a gray and brown interior; this beautiful 4x4 FJ43 has the longer wheelbase and is powered by a 4,230-cc, 135-hp (at 3,600-rpm) inline six-cylinder engine with a single carburetor, matched to a four-speed manual transmission. The platform also features front and rear semi-elliptical leaf springs with a live rear axle, plus front disc and rear drum brakes.

This FJ43 is in striking condition, including the undercarriage and is restored to factory specifications. It is made all the more desirable by being well-optioned with air conditioning and power steering; the proper tool roll is also onboard and completes a picture perfect presentation.
