1972 FJ40 LANDCRUISER WHICH ACCORDING TO HAGERTY IS THE #1 INVESTMENT VEHICLE. IT HAS A CHEVY V8 CONVERSION. NOT SURE IF IT IS A 283 OR 327 BUT DOES HAVE "POWER PACK HEADS" AND CORVETTE VALVE COVERS. SHORTY HEADERS WITH DUAL EXHAUST, SOUNDS AND RUNS GOOD. ALSO HAS AN ALUMINUM RADIATOR. I BOUGHT THIS YEARS AGO IN PIECES AS A PROJECT AND FINAL GOT IT TOGETHER. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL 3 SPEED WITH HYDRAULIC CLUTCH AND TRANSFER CASE. FOUR WHEEL DRIVE DOES WORK. GREAT WORKING FRONT WILWOOD DISC BRAKES. IT HAS THE RARE 3 PIECE FRONT BENCH SEAT, 1972 IS THE ONLY YEAR WITH IT. NEWLY RE-UPHOLSTERED REAR JUMP SEATS AND ORIGINAL FRONT SEATS WITH NO TEARS. THE PAINT IS NEW AND SIMILAR TO A BEDLINER BUT SMOOTHER. IT'S CALLED "MONSTALINER" ...CHECK IT OUT ON THE WEB. THE INTERIOR WAS ALSO COATED IN BLACK "MONSTALINER" ON THE FLOORS. PRIOR TO PAINTING THE REAR FLOORS I ADDED STAINLESS STEEL DIAMOND PLATING FOR EXTRA DURABILITY. THE SHACKLE REVERSAL WAS DONE BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THE REAR PART OF THE TUB FROM THE DOORS BACK ARE ALL BRAND NEW SHEET METAL. I HAVE THE ORIGINAL SPARE TIRE CARRIER BUT DID NOT WANT TO DRILL HOLES IN THE NEW METAL, IT WILL BE UP TO THE NEW OWNER. I CUSTOM MADE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS OUT OF MILITARY BRAKE LIGHTS BUT I DO STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL LIGHTS. 90% OF THE UNDER CARRIAGE WAS STRIPPED OF ALL DIRT AND GREASE AND THEN COATED WITH "POR15". SIDE MARKER LIGHTS ARE AFTERMARKET LED. TWO GAS TANKS, THE TANK UNDER THE SEAT WAS FRESHLY CLEANED AND SEALED AND HAS NO LEAKS. ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP AND ELECTRIC TANK SELECTOR. HEATER WORKS AWESOME. CUSTOM GAS FILLERS THAT SMOOTH OUT THE SIDE. NEW MIRRORS, FELT/WINDOW CHANNEL, AND HINGES, WINDOW REGULATORS, DOOR LOCKS AND DASH PAD. STILL HAS THE TOOL BOX UNDER THE SEAT. ALL HEADLIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS FUNCTION AND DASH LIGHTS AND A BATTERY DISCONNECT FOR ADDED THEFT SECURITY. GREAT TREAD ON TIRES BUT THEY ARE OLDER. 31 INCH TIRES ON A STEEL RIM. THE RIMS ARE CHROME BUT HAVE BEEN PAINTED WITH THE SPRAY WRAP THAT PEELS OFF EASILY. THE BAD.... THE ORIGINAL AMP AND TEMPERATURE METERS ARE NOT HOOKED UP. NO HEADLINER AND STEREO NOT INSTALLED. NO REAR SEAT BELTS BUT DO HAVE THEM. MINOR PLAY IN THE STEERING BUT STILL SAFE. IT IS A CHEVY MOTOR SO DRIPS A LITTLE. MINOR RUSTED OUT FLOOR BRACE. THE BOTTOM OF THE TOOL BOX DOES HAVE A RUSTED THROUGH HOLE. WING WINDOW LOCKS DON'T WORK. MISSING LEFT SIDE REAR HATCH STRUT. THE RIGHT DOES WORK AND KEEPS IT OPEN. THE TRANSMISSION HUMP HAS BEEN CUT AND PIECED TOGETHER WITH SHEET METAL. IT'S DECENT JUST NOT SMOOTH LOOKING. IT'S DIFFICULT TO EXPLAIN SO I ENCOURAGE INTERESTED PARTIES PROVIDE ME WITH AN EMAIL ADDRESS AND REQUEST PHOTOS OF ISSUES OR CONCERNS YOU MIGHT HAVE TO SEE FOR YOURSELF. THIS FJ IS A 10 FROM FAR BUT PROBABLY A 7.5 UP CLOSE. YES THERE ARE A FEW THINGS WRONG AND MY RESERVE REFLECTS THESE ISSUES. THIS IS STILL A GREAT DEAL FOR A VERY COLLECTABLE CLASSIC VEHICLE THAT WILL ONLY INCREASE IN VALUE. SELLING FOR MORE MONEY OF OTHER PROJECTS I HAVE AND PLAN ON KEEPING. ALL SALES FINAL, NO RETURNS. AS IS AND NO WARRANTY.
