SOLD Florida: 1972 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Factory Soft Top

Year

1972

Vehicle Model

1. 40 Series

Okay. I am now serious about actually selling this truck. This 1972 FJ40 is a US spec truck and is a Factory Soft Top (FST) model. The truck is absolutely gorgeous with zero issues. Within the last couple of years, this truck experienced a complete body off frame restoration at a cost substantially beyond what I am asking for the truck. I do not believe you will find a nicer 40 series available. The truck is an absolute dream to drive. Here is a short rundown of the features:

Completely rebuilt 2F from OLC4x4 with OEM Toyota parts
Complete body off frame repaint in Pueblo Brown
4 speed transmission rebuilt by Valley Hybrids
Brand new split transfer case OEM
4-wheel disc brakes
FJ Company wheels
Custom front bumper and winch mount from Orange Park Machine & Fab
4Plus heavy duty tire carrier
Dobinson IMS suspension
3.70 differentials
All original FST hardtop and mounting
All original FST doors and hardware
Rare FST safety straps in new condition
Holley Sniper EFI
Custom stainless exhaust
Brand new soft top
285/75/16 BFG KM3
Less than 400 miles on build
Dakota digital display
E-Stopp parking brake
Brand new Warn 8274-S winch

I decided I should start a thread about this truck before @wngrog is finished with it. This thread will be a continuation of this thread by @Indygbd. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1972-fj40-fst-restoration.1092702/ I have been intrigued with this truck since I first saw the original...

My favorite. This thing is silent. No rattles. No clutch fan. 3.70 gears and split case. You can literally talk on a cell phone at 60. Love it. This is about a $50,000 discount…..

epic

No doubt an incredible 40, I’d have to sell a few things like Kim’s future house, the new barn to store it in and I’d hate to leave it outside…

But what a rig to add to the current stable.

Im sure you will have no trouble selling it. One of my favorite 40’s for sure.

If you do not sell it, we can try and work out a trade when I finish the 1967 FJ45 LPB.

Amazing truck

 

[jomelo]

Thank you all for the kind words. Let’s find the truck a good home. Happy to talk to anyone interested.

Amazing! Wish I had the money. GLWS

I will leave this ad for a week or so and give a Mud buyer first crack. If nothing materializes I plan to pull the ad and submit to BAT or maybe another venue.

 

[jomelo]

I think an auction will be more fun. Stay tuned.

 

[CarcaineProblems]

I sold an 80 on cars and bids - it is fun for sure. It will take some time if you’re going the auction route like BaT. Maybe 90 days to get it accepted, get pics and finalize the ad?

Good luck!

This truck does need to find a new home. Here is the extensive build thread on the truck.

Completely rebuilt 2F with no expense spared. Valley Hybrids 4 speed. 3.70 gearing. FJ Company wheels. Brand new soft top. The list goes on and on and on.

 

[wngrog]

50 cents on the dollar spent and maybe 1000 miles driven?

 

[greenbeast]

It sure is a beautiful 40! Hope you can get everything you're wanting for it, not a lot of them in this shape exist.

50 cents on the dollar spent and maybe 1000 miles driven?

Probably less than 300.

I saw in an early picture you also have the door frames? Those are pretty rare, right?
