My first memory of this 1976 FJ55 was at age 3, when I turned over the keys left in the ignition while my brother and I waited for our mom to return from shopping, and it jumped the parking embankment and came to rest inside the shattered plate glass window of a laundromat. My final memory of one of the last times it was driven is of my dad reversing a length of cable to pull the 1-ton dump truck filled with gravel that I was driving in winter from a ditch across a county road. In between, I learned how to drive stick and will never forget my dad ensighting a bull bison at the Bison Range in MT to charge the driver side and rock the vehicle several times before retreating.
Sadly, my dad passed away in recent times and I would now like to sell this treasured family vehicle work horse to someone that will love it as much as we did growing up and restore it to its former glory.
I have the title and maintenance records dating back to the time my dad purchased it from a southern ID dealership in August of 1976. It was last driven in 2003 and the current odometer reading is 94655.7. Within the last 10K miles, it received several standard tune-ups, lube jobs, and oil changes, and the muffler, exhaust manifold, PVC valve, coil wire to the distributor were replaced. The ignitor box was by-passed in this time as well. The alternator was replaced at 82K, the brakes at 72K and the shocks at 58K miles.
I have a lot of pics, but will start with these here. Typical rust for this model, sadly enough, and both front floor boards have holes at the frame edge. Window gaskets and headliner will need to be replaced. But the upholstery and interior are in pretty good condition. And everything throughout is original, including the engine, which was rebuilt in 1984 at 60K miles.
Please let me know what additional information I can provide to help arrive at the best price for this. I greatly appreciate everyone's time and help
