Classic 1980 FJ40 with 84,200 miles Ready When You Are Click here to see VIDEO TOUR of the 1980 Land Cruiser Click here to see several photos of this classic 1980 Land Cruiser Here we have an original Cygnus White (code 031) 1980 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with 84,200 miles. Original Engine, Transmission, Body, Top, Doors and Interior. There has been regular maintenance and the owner has done what is needed along the way to keep the Land Cruiser looking and running good. Details & Condition This gal has survived over three decades while remaining essentially stock. She has a precious few of the nicks and scratches that come with 35 years of age but she still turns heads and is in overall excellent condition. This is a good running Cruiser with a lot of get up and go compared to many I have driven. You will NOT find diamond plate, fender flares, 8-track tape decks, jerry cans, roof racks, a V8 or other modifications. The original inline six fires right up and the steering, clutch and 4-Wheel Drive transmission are all in good working order as they should be for a vehicle with 84,200 miles. The turn signals, lights, wipers, taillights, backup lights, license plate lights, side markers and all gauges work perfectly. The vehicle was repainted in the original color and sports Toyota chrome wheels from an FJ60. Inside you will find the original mats and seats that have been recovered in the correct gray vinyl. The FJ40 suspension is comprised of rugged solid axles and leaf springs that provide an additional 2.5" of lift. The truck's original 4-speed manual transmission serves up legendary off-road prowess. Front disc and rear drum brake combination provide quick and responsive braking. At the back of the truck's frame you will find bumperettes flanking a 2” ball for towing your toys of choice. Inside this classic you will find the original seats covered in correct gray vinyl. The interior door panels, mats, dashpad are in beautiful condition. The original headliner is still in place. Between the seats you will find the locking Tuffy center console with gray vinyl armrest. Inside the Tuffy is a Sony AM/FM/CD driving waterproof marine style Sony speakers and a Bazooka Bass tube in back. Also included for summer topless fun is an Aluminum Aqualu tailgate with locking storage and two matching rear marine grade Sony speakers. The underside of this Cruiser could use a good bath, it looks pretty typical and there is surface rust, mud and dirt underneath. The windshield is cracked from a rock hit in the very lower corner on the drivers side. I decided to let it be as it's way down in the corner. A little Land Cruiser History - 1980 was a great year for the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. By 1980 you had the ambulance doors in the rear that replaced the old lift/tailgate, larger square front Turn Signals with side markers. Squared off front bezel surrounding the headlights. Wipers were moved to bottom of windshield. 3:70 gearing provided better on-road performance without sacrificing off road performance. Front disk brakes, Tubular spare tire mount, Pop-out rear windows gave passengers in back some fresh air. (End of History lesson) Summary This truck is not a garage queen. It’s your basic utilitarian FJ40 that looks great and is ready to be enjoyed. Park it at the cabin or take it over a mountain pass to your favorite trout stream. Other than described, this is a well sorted unmolested, factory-original FJ40 that you can drive everyday and will attract a small following of admiring fans. This FJ40 includes the original Owners manual, Owners Guide, Toolkit, Jack, Jack rods. This truck is on consignment with Land Cruiser Nation.
