Hi everyone,
I'm looking for an FJ40 with a low mileage LS1 (or other modern fuel-injected V8) conversion/swap, thoughtful suspension/mechanical upgrades, and a body in decent shape (I want it to look good, but not have a such a perfect body that I'm worried about it every time I take it out). Need a hardtop and standard doors. If the exterior is faded but low on rust that's completely fine so long as it's in good shape. I can take care of paint. Ideally the interior would also have been tended to and suitable for putting in a car seat in the rear for my son to go out with me. This will not be a daily driver, but in the winters we'll use it to get to and from the ski hill, and we'll go out for whole day adventures on a regular basis. It also needs to fit into a standard garage.
I am not inclined to work on the vehicle myself, so I just want it to fire up after its been sitting for a while and be easy for a paid mechanic to work on. My ideal vehicle would be something that a passionate, thoughtful, caring person on this forum built and is ready to part with to start their next project. I'm looking to pay market price or even a slight premium for something that fits my needs.
I've been hunting for the last couple of months and feel like I have missed the rare good ones that have come up, so I'm hoping to shake the tree here a bit and get some people interested in passing on their friend to me and my family. Thanks all! Post here or PM me.
