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

Build - 1972 FJ40 FST Restoration

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...

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

Buy it!

Yes. I have them. This truck is complete and even has the safety straps for when the doors are not on the truck.Lots of NOS hardware on this truck.

This is the quietest Land Cruiser I’ve ever driven. No rattles. Super quiet driveline. Super quiet and smooth 2F. Electric fan that is almost silent.

It’s the best. I know John has at least $60,000 in parts in this truck. Plus he paid too much for it. Plus I spent about 200 shop hours building it.

Big big savings here.

Careful, I had a ton of hours and a small fortune in parts in that truck too. It all adds up.

I had an unexpected job change recently otherwise I would have already bought this back. I would put this up against any FJ40 in the U.S.. It's amazing! Keep dragging your feet for another month or so guys and I might be able to swing it.

Beautiful. Bring a Trailer would be my suggestion.

The $50,000 tool roll is what I called it

We got murdered on BAT with a similar offering.

Also was murdered on that platform.

You’re better off selling a hacked up resto mod with some catchy name like “Lifestyle Land Cruiser Restorations” than a museum quality build like this.

Understood, BAT can be fickle

This truck is perfection. Wow!

Yall are sleeping on this one.

Let’s find a home for this one. Had several tire kickers but just not there yet. This truck is beautiful. It needs to be kept inside but also driven. I live on a red clay dirt road. There are just limited days I’m able to get it out (either too muddy or too dusty). I need room for something else that’s going to sit inside. Might take a trade for something that could sit outside (100 or 200 series maybe, track hoe).

This would have already sold if not for a limited group of folks that can pay $85K for a fun vehicle. There is an even smaller group of folks that understand the money and work that went into building it and can actually appreciate this rig for what it is. I don’t believe they get any better than this one. I wish I could afford it and there are a lot of guys just like me out there. Someone is going to buy it and get the best money can buy. Fantastic job building it.
