This 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 was purchased by the Hermosa Beach, California based seller in 2013 after a thorough refurbishment by the previous owner. The work included the installation of a 5.7-liter V8 engine, a Turbo 400 transmission, and front disc brakes. The truck was repainted and the interior was refreshed with new upholstery and an aftermarket A/C system. More recently, a new electronic ignition was installed and the oil/filter were changed in January 2018. Showing 6,097 miles on the five-digit odometer, the truck is now being offered with a BAR sticker and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The sheet metal is reportedly original, and was repainted in white by the previous owner. There are a few small bubbles in the paint that have been detailed in photos below. New chrome mirrors and door handles, as well as front and rear bumpers were added after the paint process was complete. A dark tint has been applied to the rear windows.

Monroe Gas Magnum shocks are fitted, and braking comes from power discs up front and large drums out back. A set of 15″ steel wheels are painted silver and wear 31″ BF Goodrich Rugged Terrain T/A tires with a DOT code from January 2011.

The interior has been refurbished with a two-tone upholstery and features alcantara door inserts. An Alpine head unit, Polk speakers in the doors and rear cargo area, and an aftermarket air conditioning system have been added. Oil pressure and water temperature gauges have been fitted below the dash, and an AutoMeter tachometer has been mounted on the dash top. The odometer shows 6,097 miles, and has rolled over at least once.

Vintage racing-style seat belts have been attached to the front and rear bench seats, allowing for six passengers. The rear seat folds down for more cargo space. An aftermarket carpeted floor mat for the rear floorboard is present, while the back of the seat and the rear cargo area are covered in grey carpet.

A 5.7-liter V8 engine sourced from a 1967 Chevrolet was installed in this truck approximately 10k miles ago, and the seller has added 3k miles in the last five years. The motor is paired to a Turbo 400 automatic transmission, and a pair of Magnaflow mufflers are fitted underneath. The truck is reported to drive well at 80 mph+ speeds, and has been used as a reliable tow vehicle by the seller. Recent service includes a new electronic ignition, and an oil/filter change was performed in January 2018.

The BAR sticker is shown above. The last California smog check was in 2013, as it is currently registered in a smog exempt county.
