Up for sale is my 1980 FJ40 Landcruiser. Lots of new parts and labor have been put into it including: Complete body and paint restoration with $2,350.00 in receipts done by a professional. Chevrolet 350 V8 conversion mated to the stock 4 speed Toyota transmission (flush just done) Power steering conversion using a Toyota 4-Runner power steering parts Rear disc brake conversion with an upgraded dual reservoir power brake booster Line-X tub (black / interior) Warn M 8000 professional (Made in USA) winch with remote New HEI high output ignition with new wires and plugs. Heavy duty swing away tire carrier, holds two jerry cans, offroad accessories Newer chrome rims with newer tires New windshield and wipers New custom front seats Locking front storage container in cab (where stock dash pad would normally be) Comes with new tow bar Newer floor mats with sound proofing Brand new (expensive) headliner All bolts that I have had to take off to do work on the truck (about 60% or so) have been replaced with grade 8, stainless steel METRIC hardware. SO, working on this FJ only requires a metric tool set unless you are going to wrench on the Chevy V8. As you can tell, I am a bit OCD with the restoration and the accuracy of working on this Toyota. I have spent hundreds of dollars on just stainless steel bolts, lock washers, screws, etc. :) These are things I can think of, many more things have been done. This cruiser (mechanically sound) drives great at 70mph. Clean clear title in hand. This is not a frame off restoration or show room quality, but is an awesome rig ready to hit the trail. I get lots of compliments. In some of the pictures the front turn signals were not installed, they are installed and working now. The weather was nice that day I took the pictures, but hasn't been as nice since I put the blinkers on. :) Toyota FJ40's increase in value by 4% a year (average). This FJ was toward the end of the years they imported FJ40's into the U.S. Approximately 3,000 1980 FJ40's were imported that year - in contrast LOTS more were sold other years. 1973......11,218........FJ40 / FJ55 1974.......8,204........FJ40 / FJ55 1975.......9,050........FJ40 / FJ55 1976.......9,236........FJ40 / FJ55 1977.......9,924........FJ40 / FJ55 1978.......8,858........FJ40 / FJ55 1979.......5,716........FJ40 / FJ55 1980.......3,058........FJ40 / FJ55 SO, this truck is very rare and in the condition it sits - it is even more rare. I have spent hundreds of hours on this vehicle and I am ready to start another project. I will help ship the vehicle to a great extent. I will not pay, of course, but I will possibly drive the FJ up to 1000 miles from Reno to meet the buyer (please pay for gas). This FJ will travel across the US with no problems :) I just want a good home for my beloved FJ. Please contact me through eBay with any questions. I will be at the ready for the next week to respond. Also, I have NO RESERVE on my FJ. Anyone that knows nice FJ40s knows what this truck is worth. I have faith that the buyer will still find a good deal here on ebay with my FJ, but I will feel good about the sale price. I am open to buy-it-nows, just ask. On Apr-24-13 at 22:26:20 PDT, seller added the following information: I forgot to mention I installed brand new pro-comp shocks on all four corners about 4 months ago. I have the receipts from Summit Racing. Also, in the locked storage compartments in the front there are brand new tow straps, snatch blocks, a ball hitch, d rings and other off roading supplies - never been used. All will be included in the sale. I have ALL the original parts, as well.On Apr-27-13 at 10:35:43 PDT, seller added the following information: Darn - I have done so much to the FJ that I forgot to mention that I installed a brand new Edelbrock 1406 (600 cfm) carb. I have my receipt from Summit Racing. It was tuned by a professional shop with brand new main and secondary jets. It easily passes emission testing here in Nevada.
