SOLD '78 FJ40, Survivor from NorCal

[45Kevin]

Maybe trade the GF for the Ford.

Honestly, that Ford ain't you Eddie, and you will probably have a hard time unloading it for the cash you want.

No specific info. Just common sense.

Maybe trade the GF for the Ford.

No way. She's a keeper.

Why are all the cool patina trucks 1500 miles away from me? Very cool truck, good luck with it

 

[Fast Eddy]

You could be the proud owner of the sixth fifth fourth most-viewed FJ40 for-sale!

 

[poseidon]

I will still trade you for my FJ62 or GX470.

Not currently entertaining any trades. Thanks though.

We passed on a very nice, original paint fj62 not long ago. Almost, but older than we prefer.

Even the long saga that was @cruiserboy14 searching for his FJ40 eventually had a happy ending.
Call me an optimist, but even this thread may someday end.
Cue Little Orphan Annie singing "Tomorrow".

 

[cruiserboy14]

There's hope!! lol

Back up for sale for a short time. I'm moving and would be motivated to save the garage space for my pretty 40th anniv.

'78 Olive FJ40 Land Cruiser - 99% original survivor

Original paint. Some rust, but not a major project. I'd drive it just like this for a long time. I have owned it for 13 of it's 41 years. E-locker in the front, powertrax locker in the rear. 33x9.5...

I've been driving it around some. Great rig.

 

[yotadude520]

Did you ever get around to buffing and waxing it?? I've been waiting months

 

[parker019]

DO NOT BUFF / WAX IT ANY MORE !!!!!

 

[Fast Eddy]

I have driven it a couple times. Otherwise it lives in my garage. Now I'm moving in 10 days.

No waxing, however I hit the hood with CLR. I was going to do linseed oil, but I couldn't find it. My other rig that lives outside needs it more.

 

[Adamcbad]

Where are you moving to? So cal?

 

[Fast Eddy]

No. Same neighborhood in San Jose.

 

[74bigred]

Nice originality. But honestly there is too much rust on your rig for it to be worth what you’re asking. Not just surface rust, it is rott rust in some areas, which is tough to fix .

Heya - whats the scoup on this? Whats latest and greatest asking price? I have a buddy looking for something like this? Does this have power steering or disc brake swaps? And is engine miles known or guesstimate? Compression #s?

 

[Fast Eddy]

$14k, OEM disc/drum brakes, all new OEM pads/calipers/cylinders within 5k or so miles. Engine is for sure < 100k miles, estimate is about 39.6k. The original owner swapped in the cluster from the donor of the engine when he swapped in the engine. I have a tool to measure the compression numbers. Come on over and you/we can do it. I'm confident it's 150 across the board. If I had time to deal with it, I'd just restore it myself. I don't.
