The 40 series was produced from 1958 to 1983. This is known as the "classic" Land Cruiser. It is a two door with removable hard-top / soft-top. Early models had a 3-speed transmission that was replaced in 1974 with a 4-speed. It was produced with several engine types. FJ40's with the 3.8 liter 6-cylinder F engine came to North America around 1963. FJ40's with the 4.2 liter 2F engine started in 1974. Disk brakes started in late 1975. Factory power steering and A/C were optional on 1979 and newer.View a series of photographs of the restoration of a 1976 FJ40 from beginning to end. We start with the exterior as it arrived at our shop and end with the finished product.
