what to do 1966 fj40 (1 Viewer)

Very nice - My 2 cents: Original is only original once, you can not go back.

I vote keep it as is as much as you can.


Enjoy the new member of the family

 

[My wife said no FJ!]

Did a '66 really have the rectangular mirrors?

I thought it odd myself, but so did my '64

Well the word is, keep it original.The support from all the postings is invaluable . Now I need to insure the FJ which would be the best company to insure it with ,and what is the value I should insure it for ?

 

[DSRTRDR]

"best" insurance company may differ by state

I have my cruiser insured for stated value of 10K - premium is about $400/year - in Arizona

I have just bought an fj40 1966 52000 mile good shape do I restore it or leave it original

Enjoy it ! if you want to rebuid, buy another cruiser. learn how it works and how to take care of it ! enjoy the drive and the attention you get !

Checked out the rest of the pics on owens export. Great old rig! Too bad someone went after the engine compartment with a rattle can of primer? Anyways...I still think its awesome. Just make it safe to drive (steering and brakes should be totally gone through!). Then have fun cleaning up/spiffing up! My 69 was similar. Very original but some PO weirdness that needed cleaning up.

I just went to look at the pics...at least these primed parts can be painted black pretty easily...

[Walton]

I kept my '67 original, as it was pretty much in the same stock shape as yours, and never regretted it.

 

[Robert LaDuke]

If mine was in that condition when i got it , I would have left it alone. Looks perfect to me as is.
Flip Bezel and take more pics please.

The repro hupcaps are really nice. That truck deserves a set!
