No affiliation but did make the 3 hour trip (one way) to see and drive this 40 late last week. I decided on the purchase of another 78 40 series so am sharing this here in case there is interest. Runs very well; one of the best running 40 series I’ve driven. Appears to be very well sorted mechanically. Details are in the FB ad. The seller is meticulous! Looked over some of the projects in his shop and they are amazing! Feel free to PM me if you’d like any additional information. (Hope the FB ad posts, apologize in advance if it does not.)

I drove it and can fully attest it is NOT an automatic. Error in listing.

Saw you’re in B.C. Are you on the main land or out in Vancouver Island? I get up to Port Hardy a couple times a year for work, and normally spend a day in Vancouver due to flight schedule. Absolutely beautiful area!

That’s good it’s not auto.... tis true the entire province of B.C Is quite beautiful, lots of freedom still outside the cities. I’m located just north of the lower mainland in the hills of the north shore mountains, close enough to the city but not crowded here, Born and raised, used to be cottage country so lots of off roading and exploring at the end of most streets... Vancouver island has become the outdoorsman centre.. my buddy moved to dallas and says I’d like to there too!
