1970 FJ40
$12,000
Runs and drives as great as you could possibly expect for a 50 year old three speed manual shift. No issues at all.
Mileage 65,593 (Not accurate. Tach/Speedometer went out on the previous owner 4 months before selling to me. I have put only 500 miles on it…….maybe)
3 spd manual on the column (three on the tree)
WARN 8000 series winch ( I believe it's an older version of the current 8274-50). It was working fine, but I cut the wires in preparation for a winch rebuild that never happened. “Herm The Overdrive Guy” 360-256-3843, may be able to help you with parts , and maybe even restoration.
You will not need to do anything mechanically to this Landcruiser because I’ve done everything except the annoying oil leak at the distributor. Everything you will need to do is cosmetic and I can tell you that I wouldn't hesitate to drive this across the country because I would not fear a breakdown. There is very little rust and nothing is rusted through anywhere. You WILL need a new top if you want to leave the body as-is but that is up to you. The pics will show it warped up on the side. Call Gozzard and expect to pay $1500 with liner, gutter already attached, and pre-drilled and shipped to the U.S. The front seats are nice with no tears, but the rear bench seats need a ton of work. There is one place inside where the left rear wheel well is smashed and open to the elements. How this could happen is beyond me. You WILL need all new door seal everywhere but all the seals for the windows are fantastic.
I have done a ton of work, and bought a ton of parts but everything I've done is mechanical. I have done ZERO cosmetically, so if you can see past that issue, this is a great vehicle. I would not be selling it except that I have moved to Lithuania for my job and parts are hard to come by over there. However, I will be here all week in Fort Worth, TX if anyone wants to take a look. After that, I can come back and show anyone if they wish, but it will have to be a weekend because I will need to fly back. PLEASE try and give me 2 days lead time so I can schedule a plane to come get me.
If you need more pics or pics of specific things, please send me your email or a text and I will send them to you. I will not pester you with a follow up call. I will just send pics or whatever you request. If you call me after this week please be conscious of the fact I will be 8 hours ahead of Central Standard Time.
