This may be a little preemptive as I am overseas until March 2 but wanted to get the word out in case someone was looking for something like this.
This is a very special FJ62. I would call it a partially restored survivor in that the paint is original and extraordinary. The interior is almost show quality and original. Zero cracks in the dash, zero wear on any of the seats. Carpet is in good condition. Everything works on the car including all the switches from the master switch. Besides a very small amount of tiny rock chips and minute imperfections it is one of the nicest original paints I have ever seen.
The passenger fender had a small dent and was repaired beautifully. No bondo.
This car is 99.9% rust free. It has always been in California it’s entire life. There are a very small amount of little tiny specs on the surface of the body scattered throughout but other than that it’s completely rust free. The most rust free 62 I have ever seen. Underneath is flawless.
Now the really good part: at 204,000 miles the engine was completely and professionally rebuilt. This included of course a valve job, machined block, crank and heads, OEM pistons, all of the gaskets, seals, rings, etc. The full deal. Radiator rebuilt, water pump, belts, etc. Engine has less than 2000 miles since being rebuilt. I have all receipts and photo documentation.
The FJ also has very recent OME leaf springs and shocks. Brand new BFG all-terrain 31s. Original wheels in awesome condition. Rear bumper had a small dent in a little oxidation so I replaced it (and the front one to match) with brand new OEM Toyota bumpers. New old stock. Professionally added shoulder belts for those parents!
Car has never been in an accident is straight as an arrow. All of the glass Is original and superb. Clean CA title and Carfax in hand.
The FJ runs and drives like a new one. Previous owner did a lot of maintenance as well and the rebuild alone was close to $6K. I have a folder full of receipts. Well over $35,000 invested in this rig.
Most people I think the paint job was done recently that’s how nice it is. The interior is the nicest original I have ever seen. The carpets are original and not perfect but not terrible by any means.
It’s very hard to put a price on something this special. I don’t think I will ever have the chance to own something like it again. Only reason I am selling is that I am almost a year into a major home remodel and will have to move out of our house for one year and the bids are coming in way over our budget! I am definitely going to regret selling this vehicle. That being said, I am by no means desperate and understand what this thing is worth. You will likely agree once you see it in person.
Please note, I am in Australia until 2nd of March so pardon my delay in responding. I also have very limited pictures on my phone but will try to see what I have.
