Description
Looking for one of those imported Land Cruisers that Toyota did not sell in the U.S. when new? We have one at MotoeXotica Classic Cars. A rarely seen stateside FZJ75 high top that comfortably seats 12 people.

While the United States and North America have been markets for many Land Cruisers through the decades, not all models were sold here.

This example has benefited from a body off nut and bolt restoration.. During the process, the chassis was completely stripped, sandblasted, .....
repainted and reassembled. The body was extensively repaired to remove dents and fittment is superb. The new paint consists of polyurethane underbody protection, epoxy primer, and Standox single-stage paint in Toyota matching white, (code 45).

This SUV rolls on Kumho Crugen light truck tires, each one mounted on a new, OEM 17-inch steel wheel. The tires and wheels are all in very good order. The braking system was refreshed – master cylinder, front pads, rear shoes, rotors and drums. The rotors and drums have been resurfaced and are within OEM specifications.

The drivetrain was put back together using new components, seals and gaskets. All items were replaced with OEM parts where possible. Underhood is carburated IFZ-F veteran straight six-cylinder motor, here enlarged to 4.5L. It is a DOHC unit, with 24 valves, with narrow-angle overhead camshafts. It puts out 240 horsepower and 300 lbs-ft of torque to get you out of most off-road situations. It was used primarily in SUVs because of its large displacement, smoothness, ruggedness and torque. The 5 speed gear box shifts smoothly with 1st and 2nd synchros slightly off.

The interior was not forgotten, either. New brown vinyl upholstery has been fitted to the front buckets and rear jump seats. This vehicle can easily seat eight people and up to 11 folks. There is coordinated newer brown carpeting, with inner door and wall panels covered in matching vinyl with a diamond pattern. The dashboard pad, instrument panel and speedometer bezel have all been replaced. Door mechanisms are new and permit easy movement of the windows and door locks.

The side window glass is original and bears some blemishes from being in a desert environment earlier in its life. There are non-factory tints on the sliding side rear windows. Windshield is in very good condition. The rear doors also bear tint and open ambulance-style. Other restoration facets include all new door and window seals and a new headliner.

The 70 / 75 series Toyota Land Cruiser took over from the 40 / 45 series of workhorse four-wheel drives in 1984. The styling maintained a family resemblance to the 40 / 45 series but became more angular. The 70 / 71 series was the short-wheelbase (SWB), the 73 / 74 was the medium-wheelbase (MWB) and the 75 / 78 was the long-wheelbase (LWB). The latter came as cab-chassis/utility with a ''panelled'' tray (pickup), and ''troop carrier'' hard-top (HT) or commonly called a ''Troopy.''

Originally, model numbers 70 through 74 referred to the two-door short- and medium-wheelbase versions. These were the successors of the 40 Series, such as the FJ40. Model numbers 75, 78 and 79 referred to the long-wheelbase version, which was available in pickup and two-door troop carrier models. These were the successors of the less-well known long-wheelbase 40 Series, such as the FJ45. Models 77 (1990–1999 JDM) and 76 are a semi-long wheelbase four-door wagon in a few markets.

As with all Land Cruisers, the letters at the beginning of the model number designate the engine of the vehicle. Common engines in the 70 series include the 3F petrol engine (e.g., the FJ70), the 22R petrol engine (e.g. the RJ70/73 Bundera), the 2H diesel engine (e.g., the HJ75), the 1FZ petrol engine (e.g., the FZJ70/71/73/74/75/76/78/79), the 1PZ diesel engine (e.g., the PZJ70/73/77), the 1HZ diesel engine (e.g., the HZJ70/71/73/74/75/76/77/78/79), the 1HD diesel engine (e.g. the HDJ78/79), and most recently, the 1VD diesel engine (e.g., the VDJ76).

If you're a Toyota fan, particularly a Toyota truck/SUV fan, you will not want to miss out on this Land Cruiser that was never available for sale in the U.S. 30 years ago. Stop by MotoeXotica Classic Cars today to check it out before the others do and it finds a new home elsewhere.
