This isn't mine (nor do I know the seller) but I was cruising Craigslist and I'm heading down that way this weekend.

Looks like it could be a really interesting project... Frame off candidate ready to go! Knowing what I do now I would be interested... except I'm not quite ready for the divorce just yet...

For Sale: 1975 Fj40. **California Smog Exempt** Still have smog equipment. California Title. This is for someone who wishes to complete a frame up restoration. I had bought this vehicle as a complete, all original and unmolested Land Cruiser. I had wanted this FJ40 all my life and had every intention of rebuilding it. After several years I concluded that I will not be able to complete this restoration any time soon and want to give someone else a chance. Rare find to get an FJ with this little rust and all original. If done right this vehicle will be worth $25,000 - $30,000. NO LOW BALL OFFERS, I can EBAY the parts for more than the asking price, but do not want to do that.
This vehicle has minimal rust and the tub and frame is in great shape. I have disassembled the vehicle down into its components. I have photos of the dis-assembly and tagged the parts. I have purchased about $2,000 in restoration parts and accessories that will go with the vehicle. I did however sell the roll bar and engine bell housing because I was planing on a full roll cage and engine swap. The front fenders were junked due to damage & rust. Rusted rear seal already cut out for new seal.

Hard Top, ambulance doors

front heater w/restoration kit
All seats professionally re-upholstered
New Dash
New Filters
Needs new windshield, Seal is OK.
