1980 Toyota FJ40
Why This Car Is Special
The restored 1980 Toyota FJ40 we have here at Skyway Classics is the perfect mix of vintage and new. It is a classic 4x4 that has an iconic and timeless look but with an engine transformation by putting in a modern Chevrolet V8 Vortec engine, which gives the car plenty of power and acceleration.
This Toyota Land Cruiser is very clean, very solid, and in amazing condition. And a good representation of what it looked like when it was brand new as well as what it has been made into today.

Firing up this FJ is now a Chevrolet V8 Vortec that looks like it has all the original parts as it did before the switch with the factory fuel injection, intake, ram air cleaner system, factory type exhaust, with the power going to the 4-speed manual transmission and then into the rear end with highway gears for both the 4 wheel and 2 wheel drive.
This FJ starts reliably, the transmission shifts smoothly, and the aftermarket air-conditioning has been installed for your comfort. The FJ40 Land Cruiser was such a capable machine that it was in production for nearly a quarter-century, and its new Vortec engine is sitting in a painted, clean, and detailed engine compartment and these Toyotas have a near indestructible reputation.
