This 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ43 is said to have been imported to the U.S. from Colombia approximately one year ago, after receiving a comprehensive restoration. Refinished in red over black upholstery, it is powered by a 4.2-liter 2F inline-six engine paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. Driven approximately 2,500 kilometers since the restoration, it is now being offered for auction by its seller out of New Jersey.
The FJ43 features a medium-length wheelbase, distinguishing it from its FJ40 counterpart. This example has been refinished in a vibrant red shade with a contrasting white roof and front grille. Notable details include black window trim, a grey front bumper, mirrors, and rear bumperettes, as well as hood latches, Land Cruiser emblems, chrome door handles, and slotted wheels fitted with new Unigrip Road Force M/T tires. Additional images are provided in the gallery.
The cabin is trimmed in black leatherette with body-color surrounds. Equipment includes bench seating, a three-spoke steering wheel, roll-up windows, a glovebox, climate controls, a radio, and a passenger’s side grab handle.
Power is provided by a 4.2-liter 2F inline-six engine factory rated at 135 HP and 210 lb.-ft of torque. The rear or all four wheels are driven by way of a 4-speed manual transmission and dual-range transfer case. According to the seller, the mechanical components were fully restored before the vehicle was imported to the United States, and all maintenance items are up to date.
This sale will include a clean title.
The seller would like you to know: “Thank you for visiting my auction. I have owned this car for over a year and store it in a climate-controlled garage. All maintenance is up to date. The car is completely stocked with a brand-new set of tires installed last year. It was purchased in Colombia and underwent a complete restoration. Upon arriving in the USA a year ago, it only has 2,200 miles on the odometer.”
