Vehicle Detail

You are bidding on a 1978 Toyota FJ40 Landcruiser that has had some restoration done to it. The previous owner kept the vehicle garaged in Midlothian, VA and was only used as a fun weekend vehicle. The paint job speaks for itself in the pictures. No rust. There is some fading on the roof and some very small, minor chips/scratches but overall it is in great condition. The previous owner also made the conversion to a Chevy 350 V8 engine, 4 speed transmission. Starts and runs with no problems. Additional features: Mud King XT 32 x 11.5R x 15 LTM+S Tires, full custom roll bars, seats are original leather and are in excellent condition, Hella Fog Lamps (wiring still needs to be completed), upgraded metal brake lines, full Rhino undercoating, new muffler, tailpipe, battery, and car cover. The rear quarter panel of glass was fixed with Lexan DIY but should be an easy replacement for less than $50. Fuel gauge is stuck (unsure if it's the gauge or transmitter). Air conditioning does not work. Heater does. Radio works but an antenna needs to be installed. The front tires rub against the roll cage if you take a turn to tight or fast. It could use a 1-2" lift. Folding ambulance style seats in the rear. This vehicle is in good running condition and needs just a little more love to get it fully restored. Most of the restoration items are minor things. The only reason I am selling is because I am in the Navy and stationed in Hawaii. The vehicle is in Virginia with my parents. I haven't had much opportunity to drive it or spend restoring it. I had to buy another vehicle here in Hawaii recently when my daily driver died. I'd love to keep it but I just don't have the time to put into it right now and want to find a good home with someone who does have the time and money. The vehicle needs to be seen to be appreciated. It's a head turner and I got stopped whenever I made a run to the store or at a stoplight with people complimenting or asking about it. 09/11/13*Antenna and rear window parts are on order and will be fixed prior to the vehicle being sold.
