Info about this vehicle:

1970 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40 - Blue - 69km (likely 169,000km) - 4.2L Inline 6, 4-Speed Manual, 4WDOverviewThe Toyota Landcruiser FJ40 is an icon of off-road engineering and one of the most sought-after utility vehicles ever built. Produced from 1960 to 1984, the FJ40 defined a generation of four-wheel-drive capability and has become a genuine collector's item. This 1970 example represents the golden era of the series, equipped with the robust 4.2-litre inline six-cylinder engine that became the standard powerplant for later FJ40 models. Recently restored to near-original condition.The FJ40 remains the benchmark against which all modern utility vehicles are measured. Its reputation for reliability, simplicity, and genuine off-road prowess has only strengthened with age. This particular example, finished in period-correct blue with a contrasting cream-coloured grille surround, presents as a well-preserved specimen. The single-cab configuration with four seats offers authentic period practicality, whilst the four-wheel-drive system with manual four-speed transmission delivers the mechanical engagement that modern drivers increasingly seek. The 4.2-litre engine produces adequate power for both on-road and off-road use, and the simplicity of the mechanical design means long-term reliability and ease of maintenance.At the current market level, original and low-kilometre FJ40s command strong prices. Recent comparable sales of similar-year examples have achieved between AUD $45,000 and $75,000 depending on condition and specification. This example's exceptionally low odometer reading places it in the upper range of desirability, particularly if the mileage is genuine and documented.ConditionThe exterior presents in excellent condition for a vehicle of this age. The blue paint holds good gloss across all panels with only minor stone chipping visible on the bonnet leading edge, consistent with light use. Panel gaps are even and body lines are straight, with no evidence of accident damage or major repair work. The cream-coloured grille surround and trim are clean and well-preserved. All chrome and stainless trim shows patina appropriate to the vehicle's age but remains intact and functional. The windscreen and side windows are clear and undamaged. Both doors open and close smoothly with positive latches. The soft-top canvas roof shows age-appropriate wear and remains functional, though vendors advise it may benefit from professional restoration if regular weather protection is required.The interior is remarkably well-preserved. The original two-tone upholstery in cream and darker tones shows minimal wear, with seat bolsters remaining firm and supportive. The steering wheel is original and shows only light patina. The dashboard is complete with all original gauges intact and reada
