For Sale 1974 FJ 40 Pluto beige, Northern Virginia (DC area) (1 Viewer)

Location

United States

Selling my beloved Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 40, 1974 pluto beige OEM original color! To my knowledge, I am the 3rd owner, with a previous owner having done restoration work in 2008. Here's a quick overview of it. Asking $18,000 OBO. Will work with people on here to coordinate. I have it posted on eBay and Craigslist also, but I won't go out of way with those folks.

• - 1974
• - Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 40
• - Odometer shows 2393 but that may not be 100% accurate
• - Never (to my knowledge) driven off road, but 4WD tested and working
• - Drives fine
• - Steering has been updated to power steering
• - Brakes are updated to disc brakes (not anti-lock)
• - Front seats are Corbeau racing seats with Corbeau brackets
• - Rear seats are original fold-down sideways mounted
• - Clean Virginia title, currently titled as antique (so not subject to safety or emissions inspection, but should pass)
• - Engine is strong and runs fine, but as a 1974, max speed is about 53 mph
• - Brand new front locking wheel hubs recently installed
• - Clean and fun!

Items to be aware of:

• - Headliner had worn out and has been removed. Replacement OEM headliner is approximately $150 on CruiserCorp website
• - Some minor spots where paint is starting to wear (not peeling)
• - Some minor rust spots in driver and passenger floorboard
• - Pressure on original fuel pump is low at times. I have a replacement battery-powered fuel pump that I haven't gotten around to installing yet. I am including that in the sale
• - Missing one hydraulic on rear window - see picture
• - Exhaust system is working fine, but metal is starting to rust
• - Fuel gauge works only intermittently, so you have to be aware of your gas levels
• - Radio is original AM band but is not currently connected; there may be 1-2 other electrical items in the dash that aren’t working properly

By the off-road front fender are you referring to the front bumper/brush guard?

Yes. Apologies if that's not the right name for it.
