My buddy is trying to sell his 1970 FJ40, you may have seen it on CL with an awful description and even worse pictures. Anyway he was asking $2999 and then he hit me up and I guess he's desperate for money because he came down to $1500 without me even negotiating with him. I almost pulled the trigger but then I went out and looked at it and it was scary! If anyone has a ton of extra time on their hands you're welcome to it. Just know everything was done with an arc welder after drinking a half rack. This thing does run and drive but I'm not sure I'd want to know how far you could make it before dieing a fiery-no-brakes-and-even-worse-no-steering-death.....
List of mods:
-Chevy 350, 020 high nickel content block, edelbrock performer manifold, quadrajet with a messed up adapter, headers to a newer exhaust although it doesn't look great... runs rough but serviceable.
-Spring over axle needs front end cut/turned something fierce.
-8 shocks (2 per wheel) all pointed in different directions! (Custom hack)
-Camaro PS box with at least 4 nuts on one of the bolts for spacing?!
-Crossover steering going to tie-rod instead of knuckle.
-4 wheel drum brakes with a hydroboost system out of a chevy diesel. Some of the drums work some don't. Hard lines hanging down randomly.
-Has 3 speed trans but the front of the bellhousing was cut off and rewelded (poorly) in order to make it adapt to the 350!? Is that normal?
-Clutch slave cylinder was welded to 3 different chunks of flatstock with a bolt welded in as a spacer in between them. (clutch actually works surprisingly well)
-Shackle reversal although the rear mount doesn't go through the frame but instead sits below the frame making the pinion point toward the ground. Looks relatively clean besides the only partial weld job.
-Custom extended front driveshaft with a nylon/duct tape limiting strap on the suspension so the flex doesn't separate the front driveshaft.
-Radiator from ?? held in with zipties. with custom cobbled together hoses.
-Custom blank dash overlay with beer cap glove box cover.
-Chevy steering column welded to the bottom of the dash but the welds broke so it kinda flops around a little.
-Rear mounted battery box with wires rubbing against the gas tank.
-Household electrical box with aftermarket fuse block inside. Wires going everywhere and there isn't 1 grommet in the whole truck. I found a large ground wire chaffed completely through passing through the tub 6" from the gas tank.
-Can't find transfercase lever? There's a hole just no lever. (probably custom)
-Nasty seats front and rear from some other vehicle.
-Rollbar with the top half cut off for roof clearance. I believe its made of water pipe. Also your head sticks above it so that way you land on your head in a rollover thus negating the worry of having water pipe for a rollbar.
-Random holes cut with a cranked up arc welder (guaranteed jagged and ugly or your money back) Some holes there for no apparent reason
-35"x15.50 TSL bias plies down to the wear bars.
-It does have a roof and doors (roof has custom sunroof cut in it).
-Surprisingly little rust although there is some in the rockers.
Here's the pictures. Not sure if they really do it justice or not but if you are still interested after all that its yours for $1500. I'm passing on it which for me is unheard of...but that's how bad it is!
