My '78 Arrived Yesterday Morning

My '78 FJ40 arrived yesterday morning and I've been admiring her ever since!

I bought it from Classic Car Liquidators (classiccarliquidators.com), in Sherman, TX.

Although there were delays in getting it delivered, they gave me reupholstered seats (front buckets and jump seats), to make it worth waiting.

It was a pleasure to work with professionals like Clay (salesman) and Donnie (general manager).

We've named her "44-40" - for 44th wedding anniversary and FJ40 and a reference to the 44-40 caliber bullet, used by the Winchester '73 and pistols as well.

44-40 has the original 2F engine, the original 4-speed and just over 93k miles (not sure if it's original mileage).

We think she's gorgeous and a joy to drive!

She came down the ramp, sporting a tow bar, but I took it off as soon as I could!

Nice 40... Mine is this exact color... Something funny is, it to was painted red at one point and there are some small indications of that as you look around the vehicle. I bought mine fromTexas as well and have it here in AZ now... Nice 40 though and welcome to the club!!
 
Thanks guys!

It is interesting about the painted over red 40s outta Texas - especially painted the same color.

Riley - I'll start a thread as soon as I get my fill of staring at my 40! I've been climbing all over, in and under it, haven't found anything amiss thus far, except a slight underneath. I'm taking it to Toyota on Tuesday to get their opinion of the overall operational state - I want to be sure I'm not missing anything.

Somebody help me... I'm colorblind... the title says 'tan' the bill of sale says 'beige' - is mine tan or beige?

Thanks!
 
This may help... (if it's original paint!)

Also, not sure I'd take it to Toyota. They are probably less knowledgeable than some other local shops about 40's.
