I like it too. That's my kind of 40, not too nice but not too rusty. It would be great if something like this could be had for 5-8K, but I'm guessing the price will go beyond that.

This is a nice driver! I like the color and the patina.
My guess is it will go for closer to $10-$12k... maybe more. BAT seems to get top dollar.

The motor and trans are not original. They are upgraded to the newer 2F and 4 speed. Looks like it still has drum breaks.
Do you have any specific questions?
What is your budget? Goals?

I’d like to find something similar to this but I’d want it all original not hacked . A driver as well but something that I can fix as I go which seems to be what everyone does. I seem to like the later 60’s fjs. It would be something we can use and not be scared to scratch a little
I’m not as tuned into what to look for and what year came with what options! I figured this one wasn’t original because the dash plate has it as a three speed. As far as budget I’d like to be around 8 grand.

Johnnie,
Keep doing your research and talking to guys here on MUD. For me researching, learning, and looking is half the fun! Sounds like you are on the hunt for a good one!! Good Luck!!
If you are looking for a mostly original driver that you can tinker on and your budget is $8k, you might be better off with a FJ60 or FJ62. Your previous post mentioned you like those too. (I do also) There are FJ40's out there for $8k, but at that price range your will probably need to do a little work on it to make it a "driver". The 60-62's are a little more affordable right now and are GREAT LC's! Look in the classified section here and see if there is something that fits your goals.
Are you willing to travel to get one? Wiling to have it shipped? If you are willing to look a little farther away, that will increase your chances of getting something.
Good Luck!!

Dang......you live in Texas. That place seems be birthing FJ40's. Take your time. Also, do you want a Federal FJ40 (U.S) or one that has been imported from South America?......Don't be in a hurry as the others have mentioned. When you get in a hurry and buy wrong, regret is around the corner. I only do factory stock so it isn't an easy task to find the right one at a reasonable price. You may be a little on the shy side with your funds but do not lose hope.
I'd buy this one if still available and I didn't have so many projects on the back burner.

Texas is where I do most of my searches because, even though I live in Alabama, I can get cheap direct flights to Dallas. I was looking at this one on BaT as well because I live within 1.5 hours of it BUT I'm out of the country and can't look at it. I watched the videos and can't tell if the noise I hear when he shifts are abnormal. I'm willing to pay more for one in better shape so I should probably just keep hunting like some on here have said. I'm not in a hurry...I keep trying to tell myself. What inevitably happens is I buy something and, a week later, a better deal pops up.Dang......you live in Texas. That place seems be birthing FJ40's. Take your time.

I thought it would go for around $12K. As I mentioned above, BaT seems to get premium prices.
To answer your question... I would not pay $12k for it and would be glad to get $12k if I were the seller, but i think it is fair price. For someone looking for a "late 1960's FJ40" with some nice upgrades and a solid driver, this is a good option. If I were in the market, I probably wouldn't have payed more that $8k-$9k for it, but I am stingy.
and I am usually willing to wait to find a good deal.If you are willing to wait, travel, and flexible on your options and price. You can find these kind of deals out there. $8k-$12K drivers with minimal rust.
Good Luck!
$8k was going to be my max, and I wouldn’t have even sniffed winning. I’m in no hurry, and I’m willing to travel. I really want a less rusty body...just a body that doesn’t need major attention for a few years. I travel too much right now to pull one apart. I know I’ll pay more, and that’s ok. And while it’s blaspemous to say on here...if I find a Scout II that I like, I may go that route.I thought it would go for around $12K. As I mentioned above, BaT seems to get premium prices.
