Not sure if it is a same vehicle depends on VIN but it was at my dealership a few years ago. Same color and everything else.

I was looking at it while my truck was in the service that time. I wish I should have taken some photos of it that time but I didn't...

 

1976 FJ40

Originally a thread called V12-powered hot rod FJ40!...


I'm not gonna lie; I think that this thing is a bit of an abomination, but at the same time I think it's a work of art. The craftsmanship and overall quality that went into this thing is just incredible! It is a 1968 Toyota Land Cruiser; At least that's what it is on paper (Title, registration, proof of insurance, etc). The body is obviously from a Land Cruiser, and the title stays with the body, but it is powered by a pre-OBDII V12 engine from a BMW 7-series, mated to a manual transmission from a BMW 5-series; The rear differential is positraction, but I forget what the guy who built it told me it came from. The wheels are obviously from a Corvette, and the frame was built pretty much from scratch.

The guy who commissioned this thing was not readily available, but the builder was, and he answered every question I could think of. He told me that he's heard everything from people who have seen; A lot of people love it, but some people obviously hate it. It would be one thing to do this to an incomplete FJ40 that has a clean title, or one that has a salvage title and would have a greatly dimished value in stock form, but I could not do this to a decent FJ40; Restomodded FJ40s with modern features like A/C and disc brakes, Chevy small blocks under the hood, and operational 4WD systems are fine by me, but while I think this is cool I could not do this to a decent FJ40!

I wish they would've used the Toyota V12.

 

Interesting...not my style, but it looks well done "mod"

 

Powered by a BMW V-12!

 

Probably rides better than most FJ40s lol.

I don't care for it, but I get it.

 

The one from the 1997-2016 Century; I got into an argument with another guy at the show, who claimed that this V-12 was used in the JDM Supra...

 

Kinda looks like a mail truck...
