I knew the owner of this. He was an original founder of the first 4 wheel drive club in AZ. He bought his first FJ40 new in 1962.
He restored a half dozen over the years. This one he meticulously restored and finished in the early 2000's but never really drove
it very often as he developed a macular degeneration of the eyes. He lost night vision first then slowly went to legal blindness.
He wouldn't sell his baby . He just kept putting parts on it and changing oils and adding lockers , lights, and extras as if some
day he'd drive it. In the mean time he started and finished a 45 . He passed five or six years ago. the wife sold the 45 .
The son got the 40. I have pictures of his 45 since i had done a rear bumper on it about ten years ago. His 45 shows how much
detail he put into everything. The 40 has sat long enough the paint is fading and upholstery is aging. It seems to have a couple
ground issues in the dash or just bad contacts in the wiper and light switches but the truck would be a good value by today's standards
