This is a very rare 1 owner 1965 fj40 california black plate survivor! I am pretty sure this was sold out of the Stancil motors dealership in placerville, a very well known dealership in the 60's. the original owner parked it in his backyard from 1999 thru 2011 when I purchased from a tow company who were asked to remove it from the property. they did a lien sale and I have all the proper paper work to reregister the vehicle. It retains its original california black plates. This is an amazing surviving example and would be easy to restore as every little detail is there.It still has its original koito headlights,radiator cap with chain,horns, horn relay with plastic cover,oil fill cap with chain,front drive lock out pin with chain, drivers seat release pins with chains,jack,handles, kkk lock on tool box,most of its original coral seat upholstry,rear jump seat straps intact , reading light,last year for the bifold top (complete with working hardware) This fj40 runs great, shifts smooth, stops fine,it even has tin master and clutch slave cylinders! Original big window asian idles perfectly.I had to rebuild the head due to sticky valves from the old fuel.I also put a newer gas tank in ( not correct but comes with the original ( needs to be cleaned and sealed but rust free) It retains its original paint paint so what you see is what you get ,no hidden rust or bondo.The rear sil does have the normal rust and the front of the right rear wheel well has a little rust through (see pic) other than that the body is rock solid as is the frame for a 49 year old vehicle. I dont believe the top has ever been off.Some of the lights and electrical need need work(wiring harness is in great shape) The only non original add ons were the front spot lights,rear add on tail lights in the top and a radio in the dash. It has a dealer heater all intact,rare pintle hitch and rear step,original rear lights and brackets(rare these days)It has an original dunlop rk3 spare tire that has never been on the ground as well as all 5 acorn hubcaps.These early fj40's are getting hard to find now and restored examples are now selling at auction for big bucks,you can enjoy as is or do a concours restoration of a classic fj40 that will only go up in value.I have too many landcruiser so its time to pass this on to the next enthusiest.this will be a NO RESERVE auction, high bidder wins! You must have good feedback to bid, look at my feedback it should look the same.Last vehicle I sold was a non paying buyer,please dont waste my time.I will help load onto shipper,and once paid for I can store it as long as needed. This is sold with a bill of sale and all proper lien sale paperwork to retitle(I do not hold a title in my name) there should be no issue getting a title. Located in the bay area california ( never been out of california) Please ask questions before bidding,good luck!!
