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.
