1967 FJ40
Toyota
Vehicle History
This FJ40 is a ground up restoration performed by Will Carrol, a Field Technical Specialist for Toyota Motor Sales USA and was acquired by the museum in 2013. Will upgraded the engine to a late 2F, retaining the later engine’s improvements while keeping the appearance of an original F135. The remainder of the vehicle is period-correct.
History
After achieving an international reputation with the J2/J3, Toyota embarked on a redesign process that resulted in an iconic look that would define Land Cruiser for the next two decades. Initially, the J4 offered a slightly different wheelbase than the previous production model.
By the end of the production run, the J4 models boasted four different wheelbase lengths. There was a “short” length, similar to the original model and typically sporting a soft top. The “medium” model was used for a short-lived station wagon model that was replaced by a different model after a few years. The “long” wheelbase model also had a short life as it was supplanted by the wildly popular “super long” wheelbase. The “super long” started out as a troop transport, but became popular in rural areas throughout Africa, Australia, the Americas and Asia, where they were used for camping, public transportation, and more. Most people who fell in love with the Land Cruiser fell in love with a J4.
