Looks like a really sweet turn-key 40. Someone is going to get a great truck!

This is a no brainer buy if you want to get into a turnkey 40.
Buy and smile.

Seller is as cool as they come. You will get a friend for life in the bargain.

I think you should keep it. I feel for you.

This kills me. I just purchased this truck as my "forever FJ40" in September and, unfortunately, need to sell it. Here is a link to the previous for-sale ad on MUD.

SOLD - SoCal -1978 FJ40 - Rare Color - 653

Okay, okay - it's just "rare" that anyone likes/chooses this color 40 :) But once you own one, it's a pretty great color - (Baby Poo Brown :poop:!) This is a very solid, 90% stock, well running FJ40 - nothing special or unique 1978 FJ40 - Original 2F, 4Speed - 117169 miles, 100% CA vehicle -...

Since I've owned it, I have used it as my daily driver and put about 2k miles on it. It is absolutely amazing and it's everything Rob described in his ad.

When I purchased the truck, I had it shipped in an enclosed trailer from California to Alabama, and it has been garaged during my entire possession. I am asking what I have in it with shipping/taxes/registration. It is $27,500. Happy to answer any questions.
