It’s a sad day. I have recently accepted a position in Australia and I am now having to sell my old girl. FOR SALE: NEW! 1964 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 Why NEW!? Every part on this vehicle has be replaced with new or rebuilt to as new condition. History: I purchased this FJ40 in 2000, drove for 2 years, than began a complete frame off resto/mod. Every part was completely disassembled, sand blasted, painted and reassembled with new fasteners. This included every part from the frame/axles to the hard top. The engine, transmission, and transfer case were completely rebuilt and reinstalled. The truck was reassembled over a period of 7 years. Completed in August 2009 she was taken out for her maiden voyage (see pics below). I was unable to drive over the 09/10 winter season as the hard top was not back from paint, and reassembled/installed. In the spring she was back on the road as my weekend warrior. Tragedy then struck in August of 2010. The rear main bearing seized and subsequently cracked the block. This was quite unexpected from a motor with less than 1500 miles on a complete rebuild. This issue was sorted out with the machine shop that did the work, but to make it right I needed a new block. The new block (F155 F342379 Feb 1971) has been sourced via help from the ih8MUD community, and subsequently installed in the truck. This truck has <50 miles on the new motor. This down time has given me a chance to do a bit more on the truck. I have installed the hard top and have reassembled the hard doors with all new hardware. The doors are currently having all new weatherstripping installed. The Old and the New...... I have listed this truck as restoration/modification. The truck is essentially stock other than some updated modifications to the drivetrain. THE OLD: Every metal/body part is original, complete and rust free. All control knobs, gauges, and accessories (wipers, horns, etc.) have been completely refurbished. Drivetrain is vintage 64/71 and has been completely rebuilt THE NEW: (note: all new parts have 1500 miles of wear): All weather stripping and rubber components Body Mounts All running, driving, and indicator lights including lenses Seat Cushions and Covers (Front and Rear Jump Seats) Brake and Clutch hydraulic lines Brake and Clutch master cylinders All 8 wheel cylinders, springs, and pads Vacuum lines 4 Core Aluminum Radiator Battery Tray License Plate Light Side Mirrors All Glass Window Regulators Door Strikers Door Regulators Door Stops All Fasteners UPGRADES/MODS: To make a 46 year old vehicle a bit nicer to drive and a bit more reliable. 2 Barrel Aisin Carb 1 Piece Headers, Y Pipe, and Magnaflow exhaust OPTIMA red top gel cell battery Painless wiring harness Hella European Headlights High Output Alternator Warn M8000 Winch, mounted on custom bumper Crane Electronic Ignition Warn Premium Hubs 3 Speed Floor Shift adaptor 5-33 x 10.5 BFG Mud Terrain tires mounted on special ordered Eaton wheels 2.5" Pro Comp Lift U-Bolt Skid Plates Greaseable Shackels Crow 3 point harnesses 2" Towing receiver EXTRAS: Front and Rear drive shaft Driver side apron (for snorkel installation) painted to match body 2 Hard Doors Rear Accordion door 2 Hella Vision Plus headlights Complete set of NEW indicator/driving lenses Hood Pad set INCLUDED ORIGINAL PARTS: Oil Bath Air Filter Canister style Oil Filter and housing Generator SMOG pump and accessories Leaf Springs Master Cylinders Wiring Harness Column Shift linkage Splash guards and skid plates Gas Tank (needs repair) Original Glass - Windshield and 1 Hard Top Side window cracked Turn Signal lights Dash Knobs I LOVE this truck and spent many hours on making it what it is today. It was not designed to put in a show, although it could. It was designed to be used and enjoyed. I have driven the truck off-road and on the highway. It handles and drives beautifully in both environments. I am sure I have left out items as there were so many and the process has taken me so long. All documentation of purchases and work can be made available, as well as all repair and service manuals. My employment is taking me overseas and the old girl won't be making the trip; thus this sale. This truck has been listed at a starting price that would normally be considered the "reserve". She has been listed at a very fair price. I need to sell it quickly for a minimum of the starting price. Please do not bid unless you are committed to purchase. A 1$1,500 deposit is required within 24 hours; full payment to be paid upon delivery. Delivery not included, but can be discussed. Sales are final. This item is advertised elsewhere and I reserve the right to end the bidding before the conclusion of the auction.
