1976 FJ40 LandCruiser | Original 2F inline six-cylinder | 4-speed manual | 4-wheel drive | 69,219km indicated | 3-seat hardtop | Villawood NSW
Description
The Toyota LandCruiser FJ40 is as close to a guaranteed appreciating classic as you will find in the four-wheel-drive world. This 1976 example wears its original beige paint and carries its original 4.2-litre 2F inline six-cylinder engine backed by the 4-speed manual transmission, making it an unmodified, numbers-correct example from the most desirable era of FJ40 production. The vendor advises the vehicle has been in the same ownership for 13 years and has always been garaged. The compliance plate confirms April 1976 manufacture and the data plate shows the original H41 gearbox and 2F engine, lending strong support to the matching-numbers claim.
The exterior presents as a well-preserved example with good paint gloss across all panels and no visible dents or major panel deformations. A black tubular front bull bar is fitted, and the vehicle runs on Yokohama Geolandar A/T tyres on black steel wheels. The hardtop is present and panels appear consistent. The interior retains its original bench seat, original three-spoke steering wheel, and original gauge cluster with the odometer reading 69,219km. An aftermarket head unit has been fitted in the dash, and the rear cargo area is stripped to bare metal, showing some surface rust staining on the tub walls consistent with the vehicle's age. The engine bay presents with expected patina for a near-50-year-old vehicle, including surface rust on ancillary components and a modern replacement battery. The F-series engine block is confirmed original by the Toyota part casting visible in photos. One photo of the odometer shows a reading that should be clarified with the vendor , as the displayed figure warrants verification against supporting documentation.
Original, unmodified FJ40s with matching numbers are increasingly rare as examples get restomodded or worn out. On the Australian market, original condition FJ40s with genuine low kilometres are commanding $35,000 to $65,000 depending on overall condition and documentation. A garaged, same-owner, numbers-correct 1976 example with a verifiable odometer is exactly the type of vehicle serious collectors are pursuing. Vendor advises the vehicle has always been garaged and has been owned by the same person for 13 years.
