1978 FJ40
123,000 miles
1 owner since new
Repainted the original color in June, 1989
Original 2F with smog equipment
Starts, runs, drives, and sounds excellent
Warn 8274
Issues-
Rust in rear quarters and rear floor. Other than that, no rust at all
Speedometer needle broken off
Seatbelts need to be replaced
Seat covers
Oil leak (engine)
In the early 80's, the FJ40 was stolen from the original owner and recovered shortly after. The thieves ground the VIN off the frame. The Nevada DMV re-etched the original VIN back in original position. The firewall VIN tag was also recovered and present. I checked with the NV DMV for potential issues registering/titling the FJ40, and they assured me there wouldn't be any problems. Feel free to call them or PM me if you need clarification. The VIN on the frame, firewall, and title are all the same (original)
This thing is ready to go. It is a good candidate for a frame off, or just use it as-is. Will cruise on the highway no problem.
I tried to take a lot of good photos to hopefully answer any questions.
