Sold rusted running FJ40.

Tub and everything on it is still for sale! $4000. I might part out big stuff it I get some interest, but would rather sell it as is.

I can't believe I'm doing this but here goes for now. I bought the 1981 with factory air and p/s even though the tub is rusted out because it runs out great and is very tight with only 81,000 original miles. P/S pump is in excellent shape with no leaks. The P/S gearbox does leak but I have an OEM gearbox rebuilt kit in hand (one of the last 2 kits in existence according to cruiser dan). Air is intack but will need to be charged. Aftermarket top in excellent condition. The main issue is the tub was rusted out.

Now for the good part. I found a near perfect tub about 4 months after I bought the 1st '81. It has a complete drivetrain (motor would have to be rebuilt but everything else works perfect) brakes still worked when I rolled it off the trailer. It has been wrecked and will require a couple of hundred dollars on a frame machine to pull it back completely square. It has no title. As you can see from the link below, there is practically no rust. It is the best original unmolested tub I have ever seen or heard of, not to mention all the other parts it has.

As you can see from the links I am building a 1977 Sky Blue FJ40 and could use the money to finish the blue project. I also have all the parts to make a complete hardtop for the 1981.

I will take $7500 cash for both 81's and components to complete the hardtop as well as a set of 5 perfect white OEM wheels. Call 256.654.1315 if you have questions. I can supply transportation for a reasonable donation for fuel. Located in North Alabama close to Huntsville, AL.

anyone interested?

How much for the "good" tub and hardtop? Where was the frame bent? In the rear? I'm assuming the tub is also bent up pretty good if the frame is. How bad is it?
 
$4000 for the tub and everything still on it and all the hardtop pieces I have. The frame is bent at the rear spring hanger for the drivers side front wheel. It broke the spring. The axle and hub is fine. The brakes still work all the way around. It has all the stuff left on the firewall. I talked to a custom frame shop and he said about $500 would straighten the frame and the tub. It will need a new corner skin on the passenger rear fender just because this piece is bent. Other than that the rest is fine. I need a fiberglass top and drivers side door to complete the hard top. The tub has A/C also.
 
... even though the tub is rusted out

Sorry, but I gotta chime in here. You call that "rusted out"? You have never seen a truck that has spent it's life in the northeast. That tub you have would be considered MORE than serviceable up here... after all, I don't see any spots where you can stick your arm through the rust holes...!
 
thanks for the comments woytovich. I have looked at too many that people say have a little rust and they turned out to have rust holes in every piece of metal! I'd rather someone be pleasantly surprised vs. being mad at me and wasted there time.

Drtywrks, I sent you a link to more pictures and the other details you were asking about. let me know if you need more pictures or information.

Thanks,
Jonathan
