I’ve recently shared a few FZJ80 Land Cruisers, including this stunning 1994 example owned by filmmaker Foster Huntington and this Triple-Locked Collector’s Edition in Desert Dune. Today’s 1997 offering features the dependable 4.5-liter 1FZE-FE inline-six engine, has covered 189,000 miles, benefits from three locking differentials, and incorporates a number of desirable overlanding modifications and accessories. The prices of Land Cruisers, particularly the FZJ80, have soared in recent years, so this Bring a Trailer auction could be an opportunity to score a bargain. Still not convinced? I recommend checking out Matt Scott’s fantastic overview on Why the Land Cruiser 80 Series Is The Next Classic 4WD.
From the Seller:
“This 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser is finished in white over beige leather upholstery and is powered by a turbocharged 4.5-liter inline-six paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and three locking differentials. Service performed under current ownership includes rebuilding the transmission and overhauling the braking system.”
1997 Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ80
This Cruiser is fitted with a 4.5-liter 1FZE-FE inline-six engine that produces 212 horsepower and 275 pound-feet of torque. Land Cruisers are fabled for dependable engines and all-terrain capability, and the FZJ80 is no different thanks to front, rear, and center locking differentials, 10 inches of ground clearance, and a dual-range transfer case. These rugged credentials are balanced with interior comforts, such as power-adjustable front seats, leather upholstery, air-conditioning, premium sound system, cruise control, leather wrapped steering wheel, and more.
