VEHICLE CONDITION: This 1978 Toyota FJ cruiser was originally owned by the state of Washington. Bureau of Land Managment. It was used to chase bears away and perform other BLM chores. All the maintainance was done according to specifications and the records were reviewed by the car collector I bought the car from. It was stored in his warehouse and used as a sunday driver around town. I purchased this FJ40 around 6 years ago from him and it has been garaged since. I used to drive it on weekends around town with my kids who are now much older and have moved on to "more interesting" weekend fun so it's time for this gem to find a new home. NOTE: This is not a restored FJ. It is a very well maintained and original SURVIVOR. WHAT HAS BEEN DONE: HFS (Hell for stout) suspension from CCOT (Cool cruisers of Texas) Toyota springs with CCOT Brass Shackles etc., BF Goodrich tires with less than 500 miles on them. Replaced headliner. New rubber and window seals in great shape, no rattles. Rims powder coated white. Seat belts new. New master cylinder. Like new bucket seats. Flip down seats in great shape. Is set up for towing with plug reciver and bumper brackets for Blue Ox tow bar (tow bar not included). Passes California smog and has original smog specs under the hood (very important). Original LandCruiser manual. Original 2F 4.2 LT. six cylinder motor runs great. All features work as they should. Heater, directional signals, brake lights, headlights, running lights. This FJ40 shifts great. The 4x4 and 2x4 all work nicely. The brakes, parking brake and clutch are all good to go. The color is Buffalo Brown and and as you can see by the photos is in excellent condition. I have taken pictures of the few small areas of imperfection. The dash has two cracks. There is a small chip on the hood where it touches the roof with the hood up. There are 3 very small areas where the paint is bubbling about the size of a quarter and dime. These spots are on the drivers front fender and the drivers door, bottom outside. There is a small oil leak in the rear main seal. I have talked to Spector offroad and the folks at CCOT and the gasket to fix it is cheap but the labor is not. The experts tell me they all leak, so if fixed, the leak will just return in a few years. Anyway I did not bother. The radio is AM/FM with CD player. The speakers are in the original spot but have been replaced. No holes were drilled or cutouts made to replace the old speakers. The trim piece for the stereo was modified slightly to accommodate the the new stereo but I have the original trim piece should you want to put the original AM radio back in. She is a beauty, in excellent original condition. I have many more pictures for those interested. Please be specific when asking for additional photos because I have over 100. I was limited to 24 shots by EBAY. I will help with shipping. THIS IS A NO RESERVE AUCTION so Good luck bidding to all interested.
