Wanted 1981+ FJ40 with 17-digit VIN

WANTED! FJ40 rolling chassis, project, or survivor with a 17-digit VIN. We don't care about condition. We care about a clean Title that shows a 17-digit VIN.
If you have one of these, please send it to info@fj.co (Not .COM) or reply to the thread.

Thanks.

Yep...17 digit VIN on the ol girl.

Soooo... like Eddie Murphy said...“I want half!” of the final sale price. Deal?

Seriously though...why are you guys looking for these VIN’s?

Great work by the way. Your trucks are incredibly well done. Cheers!

what is the significance of the 17 digit VIN?

Really interesting. 1981 was the first year of the international VIN number system. Indicates country, plant, year , model etc and more. Look up on google.

We typically don't care about VINs. They are somewhat irrelevant here in the US for purposes of registering a classic car. However, this is for a project going to a foreign country where the 17 digit format is relevant.

We did find one already, so for now, we're covered. I'll repost should we need another any time soon.

THANKS AGAIN!

1994 FZJ75 I just bought doesn't have a 17 digit VIN. I guess different countries adopted it at various times.
