This beautiful 1979 Toyota FJ-40 is finished in Sky Blue over gray interior. One of the best-driving 40’s we’ve had yet! You are going to love it.
Mechanically, she rates a ONE. Runs strong with its original 4.2-liter F2 OHV inline-6 motor capable of 135hp and mated to a 4-speed transmission. The latest owner was generous with the maintenance budget. Last year this FJ was treated well by the Cruiser experts at Torfab in Everett, WA. Invoices include:
Cosmetically, she is condition TWO. The restoration is a few years old. It was very well done to like new standards and it is well preserved. Very good paint, great interior. The chassis restored to showroom condition. A rear bench seat is included (as seen in pictures) along with the OEM jumper seats. The original Toyota floor mats, heater and fire extinguisher are included along with the original tool kit and owner’s manual. It will regularly win you awards at your local car show.

Yes it comes with the original grey floor mats. The exhaust does not rub on the shocks.

Yes it is... sorry was gone for the holidays.
very nice 40!
the work Torfab did seems a bit odd for a 79, as it already has electronic ignition.....ie...no points and I don't think the big cap 81+ dizzy is an upgrade. now maybe the someone at some point changed to a non US dizzy(with points) but that would seem odd, and Tor changed it back to electronic......
regardless......nice 40!
