Commonly known as the «Iron Pig», the FJ55 was produced for model years 1967 to 1980 and was the first true station wagon in the Land Cruiser series. Although the FJ55 was classified as a commercial-use vehicle in Japan, it was positioned as a passenger vehicle in overseas markets where it was principally sold. The 4-door wagon was based on the 40 Series gasoline drivetrain (3-speed, F engine, 125 hp) and replaced the 4-door FJ45LV with a longer wheelbase. In 1975 it received a much needed upgrade to the Toyota 2F engine with better efficiency, power, and a 4-speed manual transmission.

FJ55 Project Truck: 1972 Toyota Land Cruiser
These days, it’s hard to find anything resembling a cheap Toyota Land Cruiser. Almost every generation has exploded in value, and to be fair, it’s one of the few vehicles that is wholly deserving of the prices it commands. Land Cruisers are notoriously overbuilt both from a reliability standpoint and due to their off-road prowess. Finding an affordable one that isn’t a total heap is a tall task these days, so you may be better off buying a project with good bones if you want to get in cheap. This 1972 Land Cruiser listed here on craigslist needs everything but it’s not too rusty and it’s just $3,500.
Thanks to Barn Finds reader Mark_K for the find. The FJ55 is an interesting chapter in the history of the Land Cruiser, as it was certainly everything a Land Cruiser was meant to be: utilitarian, dirt-simple, and go-anywhere four-wheel-drive. But while the short wheelbase FJ40 became an off-road sensation seemingly overnight, the FJ55 didn’t get as much of the limelight. And unlike the FJ40, restoring one isn’t necessarily money in the bank. I recall reading an article by an Automobile magazine editor who poured buckets of cash into his restoration, running into obsolete parts issues everywhere he turned, and barely breaking even when it went to auction.
Still, that’s not to say you don’t restore this truck. I certainly don’t follow my own advice nearly enough and can easily pump too much dough into a vehicle that won’t pay that money back when it comes time to sell. And, given this FJ55 isn’t rotten – well, at least not too rotten – you can at least get it mechanically sound and drive it while the body is put back together. And given this thing was meant to live on the trail or in the jungle, the interior can remain pretty rough without offending anyone aside from the white glove crowd at Amelia. The seller claims there are lots of parts in boxes, but they’d likely see more interest with a deeper dive into what’s included as chasing spares for one of these isn’t exactly fun.
The rust is said to be limited to the “…left back wheel base, bottom left side and floor pan drivers side,” which really isn’t that bad for a neglected FJ55. I’ve come across one or two of these in junkyards over the years and you’d swear they’d fall in on themselves in a stiff breeze. The description reads like this Land Cruiser was brought home as a project and never put together, which isn’t the worst thing if it means that the seller didn’t get halfway through one system or another before moving on. There are no details about the engine or transmission health which leads me to believe it’s never been touched beyond putting it in the garage. For $3,500, it’s a worthy risk for an FJ55 fan.
Upgraded and equipped, Toyota FJ55 Land Cruiser
The Toyota Land Cruiser is a champ among off-road vehicles, known worldwide for its off-road prowess as well its long-lived reliability.
While we’re most-accustomed to seeing the iconic FJ40 models, the Pick of the Day is a 1970 Toyota FJ55 Land Cruiser, a long-wheelbase version that’s set up for serious backwoods treks.
The F55s were introduced in 1967, distinctive because of their two-tone paint jobs and unique front-end styling, which looked more industrial than the FJ40 lineup. While they were maligned with the nickname Iron Pigs, they also were admired for their capability and durability, as well as their spacious interiors.
This Land Cruiser has been restored and upgraded, according to the Lutz, Florida, dealer advertising the SUV on ClassicCars.com.
“The engine bay has had a ton of terrific investments,” the dealer notes. “It starts with an upgrade to a 4.2-liter 2F inline six motor. This was rebuilt about 4,000 miles ago, and that includes bored .30 (now approx. 4.4-liters total,) RV cam, port and polished cylinder head, new carb and wrapped header.
“Not only do you have a stronger motor, but you also get better control over it all with an upgrade to a five-speed manual transmission from Man-A-Fre. Even the transfer case was rebuilt to keep this a go-anywhere 4×4.
“But more than just off-road prowess, the improvements also made it great for anytime driving. This includes additions like power steering and four-wheel disc brakes. There’s even a large aluminum radiator to keep you running cool in traffic.”
Creature comforts include added sound-deadening material, a R134a AC system and upgraded audio system, the seller says.
“And just like the other Land Cruisers, this one has an instant off-road-ready attitude,” the ad says. “The tall 4×4 stance, HD push bumper with Warn winch attached, KC lights, full-size spare (on a swing-away mount that includes a ladder and jack) and the trailer hitch are all part of a package that isn’t afraid to keep going when the pavement ends.”
For all the work that’s been done on this Toyota to make it both usable and attractive, the asking price seems reasonable at $26,995.
“Finding a 1970 Toyota FJ55 Land Cruiser at an affordable price is already attractive,” the dealer notes. “So when you dig deeper to see all the improvements – the upgraded motor, five-speed transmission, four-wheel disc brakes, A/C interior and much more – you soon realize that this attractive classic 4×4 is actually an unbelievable deal.”
