The Story
I started with a 52 Ford PU in high school. It was fast and fun but it was for the street only.
Then I saw it. A red ’74 FJ40.
Traded the Ford and then I could go anywhere…albeit a LOT slower. When I graduated from college I sold the 40, but I never forgot about it.
Fast forward 15 years and I saw another red FJ40 (1973).. Soooooooooooo I bought it for a birthday present to myself. It cost $1000 dollars. I borrowed a trailer and she arrived home in October 2006.
