Seems worth putting it out there. Casually searching for a solid, honest and mostly original FJ40 not too far from Grand Junction, CO. Target budget is $15-$16K-ish, which I know is not going to buy a cream puff, but.....not looking for a cream puff. Hoping to find a solid and pretty original driver to have fun with here locally. Needs a bit of TLC is fine too. I prefer '75 or newer for the 2F, but open to an older 40. A few have recently sold in the $18K range that I'd be thrilled to own so I know I am close (blue '78 in Sacramento that sold last month was a dream!). Desert Southwest patina a plus! Some minor rust OK. Thanks for any info, advice or leads.

Thanks! There’s been a ‘73 in Durango on and off for a bit, but more body rust than I want to tackle.

It’s nice….but rusty. An ‘82 here locally as well but also lots of rust.

Have you talked to Mike Goodknight?

I have not, but that’s good advice. Thanks! We take our 100 and Tundra to Keith Gillespie and I did put a bug in his ear. I drive by the Metric lot often and do catch glimpses of the several parts cruisers they have. Also check regularly to see if Proffit’s has anything interesting. He recently invited Bookcliff Cruisers to have a meeting there….so many nice 40s! Haven’t seen anything locally or semi that’s not totally redone or too much of a project.

He's got more than meets the eye.

I am actually willing to travel throughout the Western US for a nice rust free original FJ40. Also, prefer original paint. Thanks for looking!

I have one in southern California. It’s a ‘75 with a 2F motor, complete vehicle with doors, sides and roof, completely rust free. Not original paint tho.

Shoot me a direct message if you’re interested.

Thought I'd found my FJ40. Rust was worse than expected. Met some nice folks, and got to take a beautiful drive so not mad about it. Still looking.
