For Sale 1971 fj40 California, Original 40k miles

Beautiful unrestored 1971 FJ40 Land Cruiser with 40K ORIGINAL miles, factory-original paint, interior, dash, dash pad, gauges, glass, hardtop, headliner, emblems, lenses, wheels, bumpers, hubcaps, seats .

The entire exterior, interior, body, fenders, floors, doors, dash, hardtop, undercarriage, axles, wheels, rear bumper, front bib & bezel, etc. are all original, virgin, never repainted and never restored. The top has never been off and the mileage is correct according to original owner.

Two owners, always garaged, well maintained and cared for since day-one, all electrical and mechanical items are in working order, 100% rot-free body,never damaged, cut, modified or repaired. .

This is a beautiful, unmolested investment-grade time capsule in excellent condition with original-issue 1971 California blue and yellow plates, clean/ clear California title . There are a couple of minor items that will need attention, the tires are 35+ years old and cracked, the muffler is failing and the front seat is torn. I thought the new owner would like to choose their own tires and muffler.

Original FJ's of this caliber are pretty much non-existent, they're only original once, here's your opportunity... $29,800

The headlight bezel is upside down. Are there more photos somewhere? Under belly, engine bay, cargo area, jump seats, headliner, etc.

It's the American way

That is a lot closer to what it's worth, in my opinion. That's an auction number, before commissions and fees.

Thats a beautiful Cruiser. Leonard must have been hard up for cash to sell that thing for $11k.

poor fella didn't know what it was worth.......he still hasn't figured out how to take his ad down.

I am always leery of the "original miles" claims, IMO the owner better have some real good documentation to verify such a claim. I have seen way too much creative bodywork in the past and false claims......

Low mileage on a 40 isn't really that uncommon. These things weren't used as commuter cars after all. I would be willing to bet that many 40s have been sold as having unknown mileage or mileage of 1xx,xxx, assuming the odometer has rolled over because of its age, when it fact it hadn't and the odometer is actually correct.

11k to 30k as well. Someone has been watching way too much Fast N Loud!

Beautiful 40 though there is no argument about that!

Since when is a bull dog on the hood original?

I think it is a common practice to claim low mileage but 99% of these folks don't have the necessary documentation to verify it. The problem is that a landcruiser that has 200k on it can look the same as one that has 240k, as long as it has been taken care of and garaged. The instrument clusters on these trucks are easily swappable in a few minutes. If I were purchasing this I would base my offer on what I can see and feel in front of me, not the sellers claim on miles, period.

Its JDM.

My first Cruiser was a '77 40 and it had a Mack Truck bulldog on the hood just like that one. Loved it. As a matter of fact I may get one for this beat-up 62 I'm sportin now.....
