1978 Toyota FJ Cruiser

Our latest vintage car crush is this beauty by Velocity Restorations, a 1978 Toyota FJ Cruiser with great attention to appearance and performance. With the ideal combination of original and aftermarket equipment, this vintage SUV is better than new. The body has been meticulously cleaned up and painted with a deep green PPG Custom Paint, and been fitted with BFG A/T KO2 tires, matte black details, JW Speaker LED headlights, and American Racing ATX wheels that have a tough, aggressive appearance. A 2-inch elevation on an Old Man Emu suspension system and Wilwood disc brakes can make this FJ the king of the hill. Under the hood there is a mighty 6.2L LS3 corvette engine cranking 430 hp through a 4L60E tranny. Inside, the beautiful interior features new fold-and-tumble back bench and high-back front seats, Vintage Air A/C and Dakota Digital gauges, plus a Kicker Sound System. Want to get your hands on a build like this one? Reach out to Velocity Restorations today to discuss your wants and needs.
