This is an outstanding FJ40. I've entered it in a couple of local car shows and it has been first in it's class each time. One of the recurring comments is that it has 'gone through a time warp' The paint on the hood is faded from the sun and the tailgate doors show their age but are fully functional.Those are the only negatives. I've had this vehicle for 7 years and I continue to be impressed with how well preserved it is and how original it is. This is a tough, solid truck. I've done a few things to it: Headers installed 2 years ago. (They did help with fuel consumption). The carb was cleaned and new float installed. Last summer, the water pump and the radiator were replaced. All the heater and coolant hoses replaced at that time. New front door weatherstripping . The windshield and gasket were replaced last summer also. I put the chrome wheels on 5 summers ago. I saved the original wheels and they are included in the sale. The vehicle runs strong, shifts smooth. The clutch is strong. The hubs turn freely, the 4 wheel engages easily and works well. The brakes are good. Doesn't use any oil between changes. It is a dependable daily driver if desired. The doors, the fenders, all the metal(even the tailgate area- a usual problem spot) are very clean. Even the bottom lip of the doors are clean. The interior is exceptional also. The original carpet is in great shape. The original seats are in great shape as well. This FJ, with proper maintenance and care, could easily last another 30-40 years. The off road capability of FJ's is legendary. It also cruises on the freeway effortlessly and at more than adequate speed. There's a sony disc player in the glovebox and a 10 disc changer under the seat. The dash was never cut up for a din mount stereo. So even the dash is unmolested. This FJ was purchased new by the previous owner's father. He worked at a museum. He took excellent care of it as you might expect. The reason I'm selling this is because I'm old and I no longer hunt or go camping. That is the reason I bought it. It's time for someone else to take it over and appreciate what it is truly capable of. Terms of sale...I can not ship...... I will however be more than happy to assist your shipper, however I can.
