1974 Toyota Land Cruiser Description

Selling my beloved Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 40, 1974 rare dune beige OEM original color!


To my knowledge, I am the 3rd owner, with a previous owner having done restoration work in 2008. Here's a quick overview of it.

  • - 1974
  • - Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 40
  • - Odometer shows 2393 but that may not be 100% accurate
  • - Never (to my knowledge) driven off road, but 4WD tested and working
  • - Drives fine
  • - Steering has been updated to power steering
  • - Brakes are updated to disc brakes (not anti-lock)
  • - Front seats are Corbeau racing seats with Corbeau brackets
  • - Rear seats are original fold-down sideways mounted
  • - Clean Virginia title, currently titled as antique (so not subject to safety or emissions inspection, but should pass)
  • - Engine is strong and runs fine, but as a 1974, max speed is about 53 mph
  • - Brand new front locking wheel hubs recently installed
  • - Clean and fun!


Items to be aware of:

  • - Headliner had worn out and has been removed. Replacement OEM headliner is approximately $150 on CruiserCorp website
  • - Some minor spots where paint is starting to wear (not peeling)
  • - Some minor rust spots in driver and passenger floorboard
  • - Pressure on original fuel pump is low at times. I have a replacement battery-powered fuel pump that I haven't gotten around to installing yet. I am including that in the sale
  • - Missing one hydraulic on rear window - see picture
  • - Exhaust system is working fine, but metal is starting to rust
  • - Fuel gauge works only intermittently, so you have to be aware of your gas levels
  • - Radio is original AM band but is not currently connected; there may be 1-2 other electrical items in the dash that aren’t working properly

No low ball offers will be considered. I am not desperate or in a hurry to sell this. I will remove the listing when the vehicle is sold. I also have it listed on Craigslist and Facebook. I will accept cash, cashier's check or money order only. I will not coordinate shipping but can drop off at a local shipper arranged by you.
