Vehicle Model

1. 40 Series

Location

Uncle Sam is really sticking it to me this year so after filing my taxes this week, I have decided I must sell my beloved 40. I bought it almost a year ago and have spent a lot of time and money to make it mechanically sound, with plans to focus on the body later (enjoy the scars for now). I now have it where it is extremely dependable, starts right up, rides beautifully and is a joy to drive. I do have hard doors for it, but no hard top - only a family bikini top. The body is not in great shape, but does the job. The frame has surface rust but is completely solid.

Work I have done includes....

- new windshield and seal
- ConFerr bumper mounted took box
- Removed wire harness and patched a bunch of mess the PO made
- OEM radiator and all coolant hoses.
- OEM water pump and thermostat housing
- new alternator
- new fj80 master cylinder
- new fuel pump
- new battery
- new starter
- carb just rebuilt by Mark
- new headers and complete exhaust system'
- new OEM steal wheels and hub caps
- 33 x 10.5 BFG KM3s with maybe 1000 miles on them, includes a matching spare
- new Downey 4 inch lift springs with Bilstein shocks
- new greasable shackles front and rear
- JT Outfitters front disc brake conversion
- BMW e30 seats replaced the worn out bench
- converted from column to floor shift 3 speed
- new OEM hazard and headlight switch
- center console made from vintage Edison battery box
- custom built factory roll cage with family bikini top
- new brake lights
- Conferr receiver hitch
- new rear drive shaft ujoint
- new rear brake cylinders and shoes
- new OEM fuel tank and sender
- new 3 point seat belts in front
- rebuilt steering box
- rebuilt center arm
- new front bumper
- new SOR front floor mat
- new hi/lo beam button
- new OEM fuse block

I am asking $14k OBO for it.

As much as I hated to do it, I threw it out on the devils playground (ebay).

Anybody local buys this and prefers the factory roll bar look, I’d be willing to swap out my bar’s rear section for the one on katwalk’s!

I can't believe this cruiser has not sold yet. Somebody buy this thing so I can sleep at night.

Did you buy it @NYIronPig ? That cherry 40 that needs a head gasket not enough? regardless, glad to see this one going to a new home. Quality build

Going to a buddy of mine not on the forum...yet. He fell in love with my Ruby (and is fixing the head gasket too), so now we can wheel together.

I saw that the ebay auction was cancelled. I figured he must have sold the cruiser. Glad it's going to a good home. I can sleep tight now.
