For Sale 1972 FJ40 in Texas

Selling this for a friend. Let me know if more pics are needed and if the price is inline with what it should be. We'll start at $5000.

He's owned this for about 7 years now and rarely driven it. Been parked under his carport with one off-roading trip and other than that, just a drive to and from work occasionally. Body has very light surface rust (see pics). Has a Skyjacker lift installed. Five 33x12.50x15 Super Swamper tires on Alcoa wheels. Has hardtop in storage - not in great shape, but it is there. Interior had been 'lined' at some point (before he owned it). Speedo does not work, nor does odometer, but did till just a few years ago (stopped at 72k miles so it is close to that based on the amount of driving it has done since). Drives down the road fine enough. I'm not familiar enough with these to know what is and isn't normal - but, doesn't leak, starts right up and goes. Seats are torn - we could get them recovered but figured the new owner may swap them out.

Let me know what I am leaving out and thank you for looking. Truck is located in College Station, TX (about an hour from Houston or Austin). All pics here:

Looking at the rust on the underside, and the lack of info on miles, shape of the engine, brakes? Seems a little pricy for what I see in the pictures. My $.02. Good luck.

Thanks for the .02...any idea of a fair asking price (or selling price). I know this forum knows much more about these than we do....

If it is a driver (ie. servicable brakes, lights that work, and predictable driving dynamics) I would think you might get some bites at 3.5 to 4. BUT you never know - If you are not in a hurry and park it where some traffic can see it 5 wouldn't be unheard of at all. Best of luck. This is EXACTLY the kind of 40 I and alot of others look for. A little beat up but far from "all gone".

Pics of top are here: Make offers - ready to go to a new home.

Price drop to $4k.

I would put the top on it and park it where you get a lot of traffic. Someone will pick it up for $4K. Good luck.

I'll give you $2500 for the cruiser and a good excuse to head down there for the okie state game.
