As per PM to OP

I figured out its going to be 24 hrs driving round trip for me to pick this up and I have a dog that is recovering from a recent issue.

I cant subject him to that kind of ride this soon nor do I have a good place to leave him for the duration as it would stress him out too much at this point.

So I need to withdraw from the list of potential purchasers as much as it pains me to let this 40 go

I hope it goes to a good home

@Bludozer - if you look at the dash, on the far left just below the A-pillar, is there a circle cut in there? My understanding is that's how to tell if it is a Factory Soft Top

Anyone else have ways to tell? I heard that from Jeremiah Proffitt, and I don't trust that guy

Dont know if the body is a FST . However, I do recognize the soft top bows, they look exactly like my Palkistani soft top bows down to the exact same primer color. They definitely are not FST bows because of the way the middle top bow bolts to the connector between the front and rear bows.

None of that detracts from this being a good deal for someone. If I wasnt deep into restoring my FJ40 I would jump on this one
 
I thought I read that the seller didn't want to sell it anymore? They didn't want the hassle?

I'd like to see a pic of the dash below the drivers side A-pillar.

Shipping for me is $2k. I just bought a Mazda CX5 today, My 250 comes in next week, and I'm looking at another 40 next week. This project may be too much to add.
 
Update:

It is definitely still for sale, not sure where anything conflicting with that came from. Have had honestly way more interest than I was expecting, but lots of back and forth, some dropping out for personal reasons, etc.

I am trying to be respectful of the order of which I have received the inquiries, but I also need to get this thing sold.

I am headed out of town for the holiday weekend, but to those who have expressed interest, I will try to be as responsive as feasible via PM. Many folks are inquiring from across the country, I am happy to hold the truck but will need a deposit to mark it sold.

Dan you should definitely send some of your buyers over to my ‘75 For Sale thread. It seems you have more than you you can handle. Happy to help!

Have you sold anything on mud before :rofl: . Kidding but also not really

I have had a lot of people reach out, then drop out for personal reasons or shipping being too expensive. There are also a handful waiting on other pictures which I haven't provided yet (my fault there, though have been out of town as well.)

To anyone else interested, it is still available.

I guess I’ve only bought “stuff” here before. Yeah…I’ve only gotten a couple of responses to my for sale post. Same thing…too much…not good timing….etc. Sigh. I’ve accepted that it needs to go…now just need to get it gone.

For Sale - Grand Junction, CO 1975 FJ40 $17,000

I haven't gotten much feedback regarding my asking price. I know I have quite a bit more into it than I am asking, but also know that doesn't mean it will sell for close to that. Realizing I really want this gone before I leave for a few months starting in October. Sharing my listing from FB...
