Finished in green with white top over black, this California blue license plate gem has been driven 74,200 miles since new as shown on the working five-digit odometer. This 99+% rust-free classic sports a great running original six cylinder engine mated to a 4 speed manual transmission. Stopping power is provided by front disc and rear drum brakes.

PLEASE CALL 650-307-2251 FOR QUESTIONS, TEST DRIVES AND/OR MECHANICAL INSPECTIONS. ALSO FEEL FREE TO EMAIL FOR PHOTO LINK TO DOZENS MORE DETAILED PHOTOS! THE BODY AND TRIM The exterior of this California FJ40 is in EXCELLENT to MINT, near-perfectly rust-free original condition overall! The green paint received on correct-color respray years before my acquisition with a still very nice deep gloss. As with any older vehicle, there are some typical light blemishes including nicks, touchups and fading. This FJ is 99+ % rust-free with only some beginning corrosion bubbles specifically at the base of the rear hatch. THE INTERIOR As I hope is articulated in the many photos here, the interior of this non-smoker Toyota is in impeccable, near flawless condition overall with all gauges and controls in excellent working order. [except for the radio]! THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE This '78 FJ starts, runs and drives VERY well with decent torquey acceleration from the excellent running engine, solid and crisp-shifting transmission, straight braking with excellent pedal feel, solid and tight suspension with as good as it gets in an old Cruiser steering feel. Overall this is one solid, well-maintained example! THE DETAILS AND $$$$$$ 1. This 1978 FJ will be sold with clear & clean California title and current registration.
