I was in Questa, New Mexico a couple months ago and discovered a late 60's early 70's FJ40 sitting in a yard. The owner was not home but I asked around and the neighbors indicated everything this guy has is for sale. Anyways, I don't want to have a bunch of people hassling him if it is not for sale so PM me if you are interested and I will send you a name and number for the owner. It is in bad shape, but the climate has been reasonably easy on it given the storage conditions. Rust in most of the expected places, but not the worst that is for sure.

Someone needs to save this old girl! I hate to see it die a slow death in NM without someone intervening...
Don't miss an opportunity!
Looks like one of those that'd cost too much if it were free with a couple of grand in the glovebox, but drag her home!

I wonder what ever came of this 40. Did someone love her or at least part her out?
its actually probably better than it looks and better than many I see for sale. "IF" its all there and "may" have ran in the last 20 years......it would be a fun one to just use as it is(after normal maintenance)
look to me like it was used as designed for, it is after all 40+ years old and wearing some of its original paint.
however my guess is there is no motor or a backyard SBC swap that never got done.....

The reason so many of these die a slow death in a hoarder-yard is:
- someone shows interest in buying.
- seller googles $38,000 museum quality resto on ebay
- seller prices his half-trashed bucket at $19k with obligatory .."restored these sell for $38k!"
- sits and rots.......

yeah i wish people would be more realistic with their pricing. i would have saved a half a dozen by now if they were reasonably priced.

Too short. Too long. Just right: the 43
Don't forget the obligatory 'all original with respray in the 1980s, V8, Camaro seats and killer stereo.'
Gets 'em every time.
Having said that, that NM plate is from the late 80s and would have had to be replaced had the rig been registered after 1992 or 1993 when NM switched to numbers first, letters second on the plates so she's been hibernating for some time.
