Probably should have been more clear it was mine. I looked at the for sale thread and decided to post here versus on the for sale thread. Haven't looked at the for it in the classified since. There are a few pictures and description didn't match the 73. Funny 2007 was certainly a different time. Was asking a tenth of the price and really had one interest. Believe I have since edited the thread. Removed pictures and said no longer for sale. I have noticed with the new FB style classifieds in the rest of the forum if you search a member classified thread or post didn't come up. Not sure a work around to search to find those. My 73 for sale thread from 2007 was easy to find.
Do not know how to copy a link for whole thread on my phone but this is the original post from the thread I edited.

I have no problem with the old classified. Those are easy. I see they added a new link just for the new classified. Figure there was going to be a way. For me classified section was a great to search values. Years ago created a FB account. Mainly for 40 series groups in Australia. Found out pretty quick many Australians blame yanks for buying a lot of good 40 series and driving up the prices. Which I understand.

The Winch is a Warn 8274 fully operable. I was told it was installed at Toyota factory before making it to the sales floor in 1973.
Oh boy....I think you added an extra zero. That's a $8k rig on a good day with the rust in the rear sill and who knows what's hiding behind the corner diamond plate and the rattle canned silver paintjob.

I really appreciate everyone helping with all this information and your opinion on the vehicle. I believe I am going to get the best knowledge from collectors/enthusiast. I am not the owner. I am the authorized agent working for the owner. Id love to get some feedback on his much on average what buyers might pay.

That is possible. Toyota was offering options of non Toyota parts back into the early 1960. At one time Toyota was offering the Ramsey PTO winch as a dealer I stalled option. Same with a soft top option. That was even when the OEM could were available. Warn was available during the 70. Not sure when it started. I like the OEM PTO winches. Those who know Warn electric winches would probably be able to date it. Toyota offered a piece that reinforced the OEM bumper when installing a electric winch. Those didn't start until 1979. Prior to that they were sold with an heavy duty bumper made for the Warn winch. Suggest posting pictures here to get more input on what is original and what not. I wanted to add ambulance doors to my 68 at one time. Because other style doors rested up against the tub and ambulance doors fit flush it would be a lot of work to notch the tub to have the fit right. Either that or shave the lower part of doors. Shaving the doors would be hard to seal.
Asking price is often much higher than actual selling price. You need to search for actual selling prices of similar rigs on bring a trailer and other places that will let you.
So my 72 fst came with a 76 hardtop - love the doors.

I'm suprised how folks around here have been very reserved with their comments on your 40. I have a feeling they are going to rip the band aid off.
The Winch is Not an 8274, it is an older less desirable warn winch. You need to look thru the Old Classified section and scroll down to FJ40's for sale. Click on the "old" Classified section and scroll down to see the 40's for sale. You'll be able to compare what a $35,000 FJ40 looks like and yours. I'd suggest to look at lesser value 40's too, to find something more comparable.
