Wanted Anywhere: 40 Series, original, mostly rust free, and preferably green.

What's going on under the driver's door? Looks like some rust but hard to tell if it's coming from the inside out or not.

Otherwise, this checks all the boxes. Well, the "buy in" price is higher than we would like but it isn't unreasonable either. Let me see what the fun police has to say about it.

Thanks!!

Sorry, this one sold this morning. Good luck on the search.

I’ll be listing my 1971 FJ40, spring green. Only minor surface rust. Original F1 engine, runs well. Mostly original interior except different jump seats to fit a custom full roll bar. The suspension could use work—it’s a spring-over conversion that could be reverted back to original (would likely ride better). I’m located in Los Angeles. Happy to post more pics if you’d be interested—was going to list at $15K after doing some maintenance work, but price is negotiable if you’d rather have it as-is and do the work yourself. Let me know if you want more info—would love it to go to a home where she’d be appreciated.

Just saw you’re in Maine—bit of a hike from my neck of the woods

Is yours spring green or fashion green? Or another color altogether? Looks “not minty” enough for spring green. But if I was done with my 71 I’d be all over this.

You know what? I stand corrected…for whatever reason, looking at the color cards to make a best guess for the name of the original color (what’s in the engine bay), the closest I could find was spring green—but looking at examples of Fashion Green on the vehicles themselves, I do think that’s what it is—and that was a ‘71 color (it looks too dark to be a match on the color sample cards). Thanks for pointing that out! Love the color—paint is faded exterior but interior looks closer to intended. I do believe it’s a repaint, though.

I do like the color.
