Looking for a very well sorted/clean/fairly restored and fairly stock FJ40 stateside. Prefer non-SA build, but depends on the condition and care. Prefer one with factory hardtop and original engine and decent records/paperwork and clear title. I would normally look for a FJ that needs work (found a few on some FB groups) and do the restoration myself, but have made the decision that I need to enjoy the car sooner than much later with a full rebuild. The last car I finally restored almost killed me (angry wife), but was an amazing experience. I am located in N. GA and have plenty of garage space to keep my future FJ protected and happy and dry. I am fairly active on BAT as well - looking for the perfect one there as much as I can.

If you are thinking of moving on from an FJ that you own (or know of one) that fits my search, I would be most interested to chat with you as I am in no rush - and really enjoy speaking to owners about their rig and the stories behind them. This would be a rig that would stay in our family for years to come and one my daughter would eventually own when time moves on.

I continue to look at this amazing build from Proffitt (pic attached) daily as my inspiration - clearly not to that level, but just love the spirit shown here. Dune Beige is such an amazing color.

Is factory diesel an option for you in Hilux Lt. Green? It's titled as an '81 but has older style bib and doors, aluminum tub, lots of info in my sig line and its in the BJ42 classifieds.

Wow! What’s the tire/wheel spec on your rig for sale? I’ll look for more pics.
 
I realize this is slightly out of your year range. However it has all of the modern advantages of the later years such as PS, AC, disk brakes, etc. If I was looking for a 40 I’d be seriously looking at this one:


I’ve bought parts from @Wadesters great guy!
