Today's UCOTD is a cool little off-roader that comes to us by way of Utah: A 1971 Toyota FJ Land Cruiser.


This one has a Chevy 350 cubic-inch V8 engine complete with headers and a dual exhaust. The transmission is a Turbo 400 automatic. The suspension is upgraded and the tires and wheels are custom, and this FJ is a soft top.

There's not much else to the ad, so you'll need to contact the seller to learn more.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

    Can we reinstate BTSR so that his posts will again be the first ones we see to any columns on this site?

    I wonder what's hiding under that diamond plate...

      In my experience nothing good at all. But it could be the rare one where the owner just likes the look of diamond plate, and with how well sorted the rest looks I guess it is possible.


  • SCE to AUX Wow - just the thing for that special buyer with discriminating taste.
  • SCE to AUX I'd drive this. Corrected for inflation, this 25 Kicks is the same price as my 05 Scion xB. The xB had a Spartan interior and very light construction; this is much more car for the money.
  • MrIcky 100% a 'play stupid games, win stupid prizes' issue here.
  • Wolfwagen Am I the only one who thinks that this car should be saved and resto-moded with an early 2000's VTEC? Perhaps go a little crazy and swap in the power train from an S2000?
  • Ger65690267 Well, the TFL guys who have a Cybertruck with even more miles have noted their tires still look fine. They drive all sorts of terrain and situations, and they haven't seen the wear, which means that guy is running his truck probably rather hard more than he cares to admit.
