TOYOTA LANDCRUISER FJ 45

1972 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 – Frame-Off Nut & Bolt Restoration

The FJ45 Land Cruiser is one of Toyota’s most iconic and rugged workhorses, and this example is nothing short of exceptional. The vehicle has been through a full frame-off nut and bolt restoration, with rust treatment, powder-coated components, and extensive use of original Toyota OEM parts to keep it as close as possible to factory specification.

Under the bonnet is the correct F155 3.9L straight-six petrol engine, paired with a 3-speed manual transmission and 4×4 drive. True to its heritage, this example features the rare style-side load bin with rounded arches, adding to its collectability.

Believed to be among the very first Land Cruisers officially distributed by Toyota South Africa, this truck carries historical importance as well as rugged capability. The odometer shows just 9,700 km since restoration, and the attention to detail throughout – from the clean engine bay to the factory-correct cabin – makes it a standout example.

For collectors, investors, or Toyota enthusiasts, opportunities to acquire such an original and meticulously restored FJ45 are extremely rare.
