1973 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser3 Speed Transmission & Transfer CaseAwesome Farm FindHello, and welcome to my FJ40 auction. I am the third owner of this vehicle. I bought this FJ40 from an irrigation salesman who purchased it from a farmer in Oakley Idaho.He only had the vehicle for a couple of months and then sold it to me. It has always run well, but I have had to do some work to her to get her on the road and legal again. This Land Cruiser is in excellent condition and has not been changed much from the day it rolled off of the lot. It still has all of the smog and emissions set-up intact and it even has the original radio.The body is very clean, the suspension is excellent, and the vehicle has been in use since 1973. This is one of the rare FJ40s you will find that has never sat for a long period of time. The farmers took the rear seats out and and the tire carrier off to make a pipe carrying device on the FJ40. The rear seats are missing but I do have the rear hitch for the vehicle. Here is a list of the original OEM parts on this vehicle:The 3 speed transmission engine, and transfer case are all stock. The entire body, frame, axles, etc. are stock with no aftermarket parts.The interior is all original including all of the switches, lights, and all four seatsThe radio, knobs, seats, front heater are OEM and original to the vehicle. The doors and hatch are all original and in excellent condition. The front and back doors are entirely rust free, and are very niceThe paint on this vehicle is also original. The previous owners would shoot a little primer on the rig when it got a chip in the paint to keep it from rusting. It definitely worked, and you will be stunned by how clean this rig is.You can see that most of this vehicle is stock and in great condition. The brakes have been completely redone and the engine has had a tune-up. The seals, steering, tie rods, etc. have all been greased.The 4x4 has been tested and greased as well. This rig is ready to go on the trail now. I must say that every time I work on this rig I am just amazed at how clean it is still. Farmerations:This vehicle was used for farm use, so it has been farmarized in a few ways.First, when I got the vehicle I had to cut the crazy pipe carrying unit off of it. Second, the farmer has done a little welding work on the vehicle. There are three nicely welded patches on the vehicle. The first one is on the tranny hump, the second is a small patch on the wheel well, and the third is where the tire carrier attaches to the body.Third, the overflow tank is not OEM, it is an antifreeze bottle. I have been rocking it for months and it works great by the way.Fourth, the rear heater is custom made and works better than any FJ40 heater ever made. It has its own fan and a newer heater core that pumps out the heat. You will not get cold with this thing on. Fifth, the passenger side door has an awesome pipe door handle.Sixth, I have left some of the bullets and beer tabs in this rig to add to the ambiance. I have eleven FJ40s at the moment and this is the one that everyone wants to drive and ride in. The rubber is in excellent shape and everything is straight and clean, so the ride is really smooth and quiet.The engine just purrs and is a torque machine. This thing is trail ready and a blast to drive. This is probably the best FJ40 project car I have ever had, I just have too many at the moment. This one hurts a little to sell because it is so straight and mostly rust free. The doors are in great shape and the hatch actually works. This vehicle also still has all of the original factory stickers and emblems. I do have the two rear emblems for this vehicle, that are not photoed in the auction, but they will be included. This FJ40 would be an ideal restore project, daily driver, or hunting rig. It does have a little rust but it is minimal for an FJ40.This Cruiser has not been modified at all and is all original. The vehicle is fully functional and trail ready.The only things that do not work on the vehicle are the speedometer, and the turn signals. I had the turn signals working but there is a ground problem that I do not have time to fix. It would be a really easy fix though. I have a video on Youtube that shows the car running, shifting, driving, and a complete walkthrough. You need to view this video to appreciate the power and beauty of this FJ40.I can also store the vehicle for 30 days once payment is made if you need time to arrange shipment. You will need to pay me $100.00 a month to store it any longer than that.Payment must be made within one week of auction ending. Thanks for looking and have a wonderful day:)
