Sold
1983 Toyota Land Cruiser
Specifications
Description
The most collected of the Land Cruiser family and agree that the final few model years (81-83) represent the best of the breed and the most modern.
By so many standards, the Land Cruiser is the definitive 20th century 4x4.
With an international pedigree like a Land Rover, the rugged simplicity of a Jeep and swagger like an old Bronco, the Landcruiser is a greatest hits album of classic trucks.
Fun to look at, sure, but driving one will take your appreciation to a whole new level because you don't drive this truck for performance, handling, or comfort. You drive it BECAUSE IT IS A LAND CRUISER!
ABOUT THIS CAR
- This is an incredibly tidy truck.
- NZ New with 4 long term NZ Owners.
- New battery / New glow plugs / new hood lining / new upholstery.
- From 1982 onwards a 5 speed gearbox was optional and this one comes with a 5 speed gearbox.
- Very sturdy wagon - no rust that we are aware of, and pretty much unrestored. Sure its had some touch ups over the years but we reckon it would be hard to find a better one in such original condition.
- In terms of its importance to Toyota as a global automaker to be reckoned with, you simply cannot overstate the impact the FJ40 had. In addition to being one of Toyota’s best-selling vehicles, it solidified the brand’s reputation for building strong, reliable vehicles.
- Diesel so economical to run.
- Very Good Tires including spare.
- Mechanically sound - runs and drives well.
This is one of the best vehicles ever made. Maintain it and the average engine will last well over 250-300K miles UNTOUCHED! Some even go as high as 500K without even a rebuild.
Plenty of room to haul all the gear you would ever need, and still cruise down the road in style.
Great to drive, easy and comfortable. Build tough and to last forever. Performs very good for an 4x4 vehicle and it's capable of carrying on almost ANY offroad add-on or accessory ever made. It’s a wonderfully simple vehicle that is much more than the sum of its parts not only because of its capabilities but because of the things that people associate it with.
Toughness, adventurousness, reliability, style... the qualities of this Land Cruiser reads like the Tinder profile of someone you’d bring home to your parents plus good examples of these cars are becoming rarer by the day...oh and did I mention soaring prices?

Waimak Classic Cars is not aware of any specific defects with the vehicle, however (a) such a vehicle being a classic vehicle may have mechanical breakdowns, electrical failures at inconvenient times and maintenance costs being part of and parcel of ownership of a classic vehicle; (b) reliability is a combination of the particular nature of the classic vehicle, how it is being driven, how it has been maintained, and to a certain extent luck; (c) because of the age of the vehicle, and its propensity to rust, it is likely that the vehicle would have been fully or partially restored, or at least repainted at some point in its life, maybe even more than once. Waimak Classic Cars does not know, and cannot give advice on how good any restoration work on the vehicle had been.
The Purchaser acknowledges that the vehicle is being sold as a classic car; that in terms of the Act and the nature of the goods, the vehicle is an old car, bike or boat, that may have visual and hidden faults, unlike a new motor vehicle.
The Purchaser is encouraged to personally fully inspect the vehicle and also to have the vehicle inspected, and fully assessed by an experienced, independent, specialist garage - before committing to purchase. While the Purchaser is entitled to rely on statements given by Waimak Classic Cars as being correct, where goods such as vehicles are concerned, with so many moving parts and rust being an issue with older vehicles; a Purchaser who chooses not to seek independent professional assistance when assessing the quality of what they propose to buy is considered as buying at their own risk, and if the vehicle then turns out to be of less than the represented quality, or not up to the Purchaser's expectation, or in the Purchaser opinion not fit for purpose; then the Purchaser is considered to have contributed to their own loss and should not expect any refunds or betterment from Waimak Classic Cars.
The Purchaser acknowledges that they have read and fully understand this notification and the nature of a car which is many years old.
