For Sale Not Affiliated Public Service Announcement 1971 FJ40 Fairfax, Va

Location

United States

If you see this on craigslist, ebay, etc. avoid it at all costs. You'd think for $9500 it would have some positives... but nope!

Lots of bondo, no top on it and sitting outside. The engine is a 80s model 305/350 (not sure which). they put a Chevrolet steering column with a 3 speed on the column transmission. She's rough!

Drive shafts are botched welding, rear drive shaft look to be about 5" long lol. Lots of stuff is just cut. It does not run or drive. The lot said it was too dangerous to drive over 30 mph and was being sold as a project.

Ad says "
The owner bought this rare land cruiser from Oregon with the intentions of restoring it. This has been rust free. It does have an aftermarket v8 engine and transmission. This is a great project car.This Land Cruiser Fj40 has less than 63k miles**" HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!


RARE? lol RUST FREE! HAHAHA aftermarket v8 = botched swap. 63k! hahahha

I regret not getting photos to show its true condition, but always remember, never buy sight unseen!

Ugggh-! I don't know whyyyy people drill good doors to mount crappy aftermarket mirrors. I honestly don't care if a truck is a "survivor", or the like. That is a straight deal breaker for me! There is a WAY to mount good large factory mirrors without the painful DRILL!
