Its most likely south american, no heat, drum brakes all the way around, aftermarket top. Its probably been worked hard. At least it hasn't had a recent restoration to hide a lot of rust, but its probably had a lot of questionable repairs, like tape for a radiator cap.

I never will put a price on it, that's between the buyer and seller and I'm neither. If its way out of line, I'll say so. The red 1 is from multiple yrs. With fresher paint, It could have a lot of body and mechanical issues.

Moved to Colombia. FJ40s everywhere. What would make the community actually like SA 40s???
So I moved to Bogota and it's hard not to stare at all the great 40s and 43s. Coworkers are rebuilding them with local help and it's all but enticing. The shops are noticing the attention and I have several "I know a great guy to do work for you" references. Still learning so i'm not jumping...
