'77 FJ40 For Sale in Maine (Hard top installed and More Photos!)
I've been doing a lot of thinking lately, and I'm afraid I may have to sell the 40. She's a '77, and a good overall driver, but no means perfect. It runs well, 4 hi and low work perfectly, and shifts smoothly. ODO says 125k, but it said that when I bought it too
I'd guess around 130-40k, but I honestly don't know for sure. There is some rust poping up here and there on the body, but nothing too serious. (although, to be honest, the rear spring mounts are going to need attention soon. The rest of the frame is solid.) It could still easliy be repaired without too much work. I have the hardtop and doors as well, in good condition.
Some of the good points are:
) If anyone is interested, I'd encourage them to come up and take a look. I'm fairly flexible for the time being. I, as well as the car, am located in Portland, ME. I'm thinking of asking around $12k if I go through and replace the brakes and choke, but I'm definatly willing to talk. I don't see many in New Englnd in this sort of inbetween condition. Most of them are essentially parts cars, or restored to better than new condition. I'm also open to partial trades for vintage mopeds, vespas, motorcycles, boats, etc, or even an old Volvo 122. Let me know what you've got. Please feel free to PM me for my phone number and e-mail, I'm happy to answer any and all questions. Here are a few photos (sorry about the kayak, I just got in from a paddle)

- new exhaust
- recetly rebuilt weber carb
- runs cool even on hot days
- both heaters work great (front was restored with one of shane's kits in Feb)
- custom maple dash
- custom sycamore tailgte
- good seats
- drives tight
- just adjusted the valves last week
- driver's side brake caliper is stuck
- automatic choke on weber doesn't automatically choke
- rear spring mounts could use some attention

When I joined the forum, it just thought it haid a good ring to it. The truck really isn't nearly as rusty as some of the others I've seen in the North East, and I'd encourage anyone who's even remotly interested to come by and take a look at the car in person, I promise you won't be dissapointed. It's a good truck, and I really don't want to sell it, but the clutch went south on my MG this past spring, and I really want to get her fixed. It's an engine out job, and I just don't have the space or time to do it myself, so I begrudgingly have to pay someone else to do it.
