This 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 was delivered new in Costa Rica and was reportedly imported and refurbished by House of Cruisers in Miami, Florida, before it was acquired by the current owner in 2018. Refurbishment work included a refinish in Nebula Green over black vinyl upholstery as well as a mechanical refresh. The truck is powered by a 3.9-liter inline-six paired with a three-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case, and additional equipment includes a steel front bumper, rear bumperettes, manually locking front hubs, a beige soft top, steel wheels with chrome hubcaps, and rear jump seats.
The body was refinished in Nebula Green by House of Cruisers in approximately 2016-2017 according to the seller. Features include a replacement beige removable soft top, a steel front bumper and rear bumperettes, dual side mirrors, a beige grille surround, and a folding windshield.
Gray-painted 15″ steel wheels with chrome hubcaps wear reproduction Firestone All-Traction tires, and a matching spare is mounted on a swing-away carrier at the rear. The seller states that the drum brakes were rebuilt during the refurbishment, and an Ironman suspension kit was installed.
The cabin features seats that were reupholstered in black vinyl, a body-color dashboard, black rubber mats on the front floors, and carpeting in the rear. Equipment includes manual-crank windows and inward-facing rear jump seats.
The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 100-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The five-digit odometer shows 61 miles. The seller notes that the odometer was replaced and reset to zero when the truck was refurbished. Total chassis mileage is unknown.
The 3.9-liter F-145 OHV inline-six features a single carburetor and was rated at 135 horsepower when new. An Optima battery is fitted, and the seller states that the oil, clutch, and brake fluids were serviced in preparation for the sale.
Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a three-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. The frame and suspension components were refinished in black during the aforementioned refurbishment, and the seller states that the axles were rebuilt and a replacement exhaust system was installed.
