Up for grabs is this 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40. This FJ features what we believe to be the original engine, original transmission, and original hard top. This FJ starts easily and drives very well at speed, it has a four speed manual transmission. All four tires match (spare is not present) and have well over 50% tread showing. The interior is very complete, and the dash pad is in very good condition, all of the gauges/lights/electrics work, and there is an FJ40 rubber floor mat for the front passenger cab. There is also what appears to be the original headliner, this is in very good condition. Original roll bar is also present and in good condition. Radio does not appear to be functioning. The heater does work as do the wipers. All brake lights, headlights, and turn signals are functioning. On 12/9, this FJ received a full tune-up by a master mechanic, to include spark plugs AND fuel filter as well as an oil change. It idles well and evenly, and there is plenty of power from the engine. At the same time, I had a compression test performed on the engine, the results are below: Cylinder 1-150 psi Cylinder 2-151 psi Cylinder 3-155 psi Cylinder 4-150 psi Cylinder 5-160 psi Cylinder 6-160 psi As you can see from the pictures, the most immediate issue facing this FJ is the rust, the tub should be considered gone or close to gone. However, the chassis shows remarkably little rust (I have additional photos of the undercarriage, please let me know if you want them sent to you), and the hard top, doors, hood, etc should all be salvageable. This Land Cruiser starts easily (first crank), the carb and engine appear to be in excellent working order, and after driving this FJ, I can attest that the clutch is very strong and there is plenty of power. The vehicle also has an Optima red top battery as well as Warn locking hubs. This should be an excellent candidate for a full restoration that can also be driven throughout the process. The sale includes what appears to be the original Bill of Sale as well as the original key. Also included is a complete owner's manual. If you have ANY questions, would like to see additional photos, would like to receive videos of the vehicle with the engine idling, or need any additional information, my cell phone is 615-300-6004.
