1963 FJ40 Factory Soft Top

Price drop $12,500

Clean NM title

It does have a matching era set of doors and hardtop to go with it. Price can be lowered $1000 if I keep the top and doors. The top is cracked. Most likely from a high speed ride and not having the front bolted to the windshield properly.



It has a 2F swap

New master clutch and slave cylinder

New brake master

Tank flush

New fuel lines ran

New battery

New ignition

5 BFG all terrains near 100% tread recently installed (nubs present)

The spare is new.



The cruiser has the original paint from what it appears

Heater, guages, lights, wipers, etc all appear to be present

VADER LIGHT present

Trans shifts into gears properly

Factory column shift

Original light switch, wiper switch

All original seats are present

All jack and rod clamps are present

5 original rivet rims, 2 original rear hubcaps



This cruiser was bought from a collection where the owner had over 10 FJ40’s

This is the final one from that collection. I have owned this twice since I originally bought it. This sat for a few years before I purchased it.

Needs:

possibly brake work.( I’ve bled them just haven’t adjusted the shoes)

A carb rebuild?, seat covers, rear view mirror, trans, diff, tcase, fluid change, vacuum check, windshield rubber. One spare tire carrier hinge is broken.



I am moving to Florida and have decided to sell this before my move. I am house hunting and will not have the space or time to finish this off and make it really a great patina ride. If I kept it I’d feel bad rebuilding it and switching to LS era stuff. It should stay a true Landcruiser patina ride.



I do have video of it running. And it does drive. But I’ve only driven it around locally. I haven’t taken it on the highway.



Rust wise. See the pictures. This has held up very well aside from the rust starting to show at the rear sill. The quarters, rockers, floor inside, wheel wells, and underneath look solid. Surface as you’d expect from a Southwest Early 60’s LC.

Can help load if someone wants to have it shipped. Sold several vehicles that ended up elsewhere. Have references if needed as well.

575-202-4624 leave a message if I don’t answer. Or send a text.

Will consider trade for a FJ55, FJ80. If you have a FJ45 LV ((suv) version of a FJ40) to sell or trade let me know

Love the 40. Not a buyer but would like to be. Mind sharing the vin #. I have a 63 fst as well and it seems like they are the mutt of 40’s since so much transitioned from 62 to 64 and no real documentation. Also are the doors the earlier non crank version to match the high post top? Centered diff?

Offset diff, doors are the crank style. But the doors came from a different 40 of similar years. I’ll get the vin and post it for you. Also always up for seeing pictures of your 63 if you don’t mind sharing.

I don't think I've ever seen a corrugated hard top that also has the curved corner glass, really cool. I wonder if that's a transition year piece too?
 
Not factory nor is the lower window in the bifold door. Was common for owners to add the windows after 65 when they went to the corner windows for more visability. I have even seen chevy truck quarter windows used!
 
Been cruising it around. Backroads mostly. Brakes are a bit squishy. But shifts smoothly thru all the gears. My first column shift fj40 that I’ve driven. Still getting use to it.

Still available.
