1967 | Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 45

Legendary. Indestructible. Like New – The 1967 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 Pickup

A Toyota Land Cruiser is what many classic vehicles claim to be - but rarely are: an icon. Produced since 1951, it has earned its reputation for extreme durability, longevity, and off-road prowess, proven countless times in the deserts of Africa or the Australian Outback. A true world vehicle – almost without equal.

Many Land Cruisers were exported to the USA – including this pickup version. And rightly so, as it fits the American landscape perfectly: a workhorse with plenty of power under the hood, essentially the off-road equivalent of a muscle car.

The Land Cruiser offered here underwent a complete restoration in South Carolina between 2017 and 2018. Over 2,000 hours were invested in the rebuild, with the new paintwork applied in its original factory color. The inline six-cylinder engine was fully disassembled and comprehensively rebuilt. Around 750 photos document the entire restoration process. The final result is a vehicle that, according to a Classic Data short appraisal, is in condition 1 (–).

In early October 2018, the restorer sold the Land Cruiser to a physician in Hamburg. In 2022, it received a new TÜV inspection in Germany, along with H-plate (historic vehicle) registration. At the end of September of the same year, the current consignor acquired the vehicle and displayed it temporarily at Motorworld Munich.
