THE TOYOTA LAND CRUISER
The Toyota Land Cruiser in its many sizes and configurations has had a long and successful history of reliable service through the most rugged of conditions. Patterned to compete with the ubiquitous Jeep, the Land Cruiser demonstrated that Toyota could produce much more than just economical cars; but what would become legendary as some of the most capable vehicle across the globe.
Introduced in 1960, the FJ40 and its variants remained in production for a quarter century, the kind of longevity that demonstrates true value, quality and utility. They became indispensable in unsettled and remote areas of the world, hauled safaris through Africa, developed a devoted following among America's off-road culture and have spawned a host of imitators.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This stunning FJ40 was formerly in the stable of Texas collector and well-known Toyota dealer Don Davis. Mr. Davis, who had a healthy respect for the FJ40, commissioned a concours-quality restoration of this 1966 model. It was restored mechanically and cosmetically, with all proper decals, finishes, and accessories, and an accurate convertible top, with zippers, buttons, and latches. Bought by the consignor in January of 2016 - a prominent, Southern California based collector with a taste for the finest motorcars ever made - this FJ40 has recently been equipped with a custom roll cage, front mounted winch, steel doors with armrests and updated safety belts. This thrilling Toyota FJ40 has been carefully garaged and subject to dutiful maintenance and service to ensure this Land Cruiser remains an off-roading classic that is ready to be enjoyed. The bright red exterior is neatly contrasted by silver grey body equipment, and black seats. Appearing in fantastic restored condition, this is surely a classic Land Cruiser not to pass up and would be a wonderful entry to the Overland 1000 off road rally held annually in Arizona.
