Tom Hanks is selling his Toyota Land Cruiser

A Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 owned by actor Tom Hanks is heading to auction. The auction will be conducted by Bonhams at their Quail Lodge Auction on August 13th.

Listed as an “FJ enthusiast's FJ”, the classic Land Cruiser sports a Rustic Green exterior with a white painted roof.

The Bonhams listing says Hanks commissioned this special FJ40 to be competent both in the wilderness and on the highway and that the well-maintained FJ40 is still a strong, usable, and good looking truck.

The stock engine has been replaced with a 2000 model year GM L35 4.3-litre Vortec V6 engine with sequential port fuel injection rated to 180 horsepower from the factory. This is mated to a GM-sourced 5-speed manual transmission.

The interior is "lightly used", with the paint said to be “sound and presentable.” Apart from a set of power operated Porsche high back seats, there are center-facing folding seats in the carpeted rear compartment. Entertainment comes from a Sony AM-FM-cassette stereo with extra speakers in the rear. It also has air conditioning to complement the factory heater.

The Porsche seats are black while the original front seats and rear folding seats are Toyota grey leatherette. The original seats are included in the sale.

The driveline features all the highly regarded Toyota FJ functionality with four-wheel drive, Warn front hubs, power brakes and power steering.

The stock-height suspension has been beefed up with Old Man Emu shocks and steering damper and it rides on chrome wheels with Toyo Open Country 31 x 10.50 R 15LT tires (including the matching spare).

A Tom Hanks signature on the dashboard is a bonus.
