Pedal To The Metal
This 1971 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 does not only grab your attention, it commands it. The V8 growl of 420 horses, boosted by electronic fuel injection, under the hood propels this stunning Land Cruiser miles ahead of the pack. In a truly no-expenses-barred, ground-up restoration, the FJ40, originally from Texas, has taken on a better-than-ever role as a champion of brawn, beauty and iconic cool. Mated to a rebuilt 5-speed manual, the FJ40 keeps its old-school heritage, offering precise control over the power delivery, on- and off-road through gnarly 305 tires.
All Dressed Up
With a design that has sought to keep the classic looks inside out with a myriad of tasteful enhancements, including a custom created interior design and upholstery, metallic charcoal gray paint, LED lights and much, much more. Keeping a cool eye on the performance is enhanced through a Dakota Digital cluster, visually keeping things original looking but offering a digital control interface making things look just a right amount of perfect old and new mix. And to keep things real cool, a custom air conditioning system has been installed under the dash offering superior comfort for a ride that just exudes style.
