SOLD!
Can't believe that I'm even contemplating this, but some recent developments are forcing me to streamline my life.
For sale is my 1976 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser.When I bought it I was specifically looking for one that had minimal rust and was to original specification, and that's what I found.The truck shows 82k miles and this is believed to be correct. The paint is likely all original -- when other than the 1970s would they have painted those stripes! The exterior paint is faded and there are some small dents here and there. The largest is on the right ambulance door (I tried to get this in the pictures) and there is a small dent where the spare tire carrier stops meet the left side ambulance door.
Asking $10,500 obo (truck is in Utah near Salt Lake City)
Title is clear and in my name
Highlights
The rear jump seats are in good shape. The front seat frames are good, but the upholstery is shot. There are currently some aftermarket seat covers on those seats. The gauges all work as do the dash and gauge lights. The windshield washer isn't working (hose is broken) and the lighter is iffy, but all other internal switches work. Heater valve is a bit sticky (dash knob opens the valve but won't close it) but you can open or close the valve in the engine bay. Wiper arms and blades are new OEM parts. Heater (front and rear) works well. I have the AM radio and CB that were in the truck when I bought it, and do not know if they work. The radio opening in the dash was not cut wider and currently has a reproduction Toyota blanking plate. The winch is a Warn 8274 and functions fine. Wheels are new Toyota factory steel wheels (powdercoated) with new factory hubcaps and new tires.

Fellow MUDer pighead looked this one over for me before I bought it. He posted some pictures of his inspection here:
