1971 FJ40
Work since I’ve owned beginning in mid 2011:
Original Hardtop intact with all glass
Starts immediately and runs smoothly. I have driven it a limited amount over the last year and have confidence that it will get me from point A to point B reliably.
It has an enjoyable patina with no major rust issues. Small spots on the rear quarters were wire wheeled, OSPHO’d, primed, and painted.
Some denting in hood - again, I’m not a whiz in this area, so I didn’t take a real stab at it.
As stated above, this sale includes the hard top and jump seats(original covers), not pictured.
I am happy to provide any additional information. I absolutely love this 40, and I am selling with a heavy heart. I am going back to college to finish my degree, and I can’t afford to have this value tied up in a second vehicle right now.
Asking $15,000 OBO
PM me with any offers, questions, or comments. Thanks.
