1977 Land Cruiser TOYFJ40

For Sale: TOYFJ 40 - 1977 Toyota FJ 40 350 Chevy V 8 conversion

Building this 4 wheeler was somewhat of a mid-life crisis project for me. as I built it in the image of the 1975 FJ 40 I owned during my college years. The personalized license plate reads TOYFJ 40. My intentions were to never sell it. Unfortunately. the number of grandkids I now have exceeds the seating capacity of the 40 and it has forced the issue. I have organized receipts for nearly everything I have spent on this vehicle and some documentation from the previous owner. The guy I bought it from said it would never win any shows. Honestly. this is the cleanest. most tastefully customized Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 40 you will find anywhere the other guys who say that about theirs are lying. Just kidding. There are other nice custom 40 s out there at this level. but there is no doubt this one is a 1 per center. If the nicest FJ 40 around is what you are looking for. then this is it.
