HERE'S A CHANCE TO OWN AN EARLY PIECE OF HISTORY. MORE CLASS AND BETTER LINES THAN ANY JEEP EVERY PRODUCED. THIS IS A SUNDAY DRIVE FIND THAT HAS JUST SAT AND SAT AND SAT. PAID A FAIR AMOUNT FOR IT WITH BIG PLANS TO SINK MY LIFE SAVINGS INTO IT AND MAKE AS BAD A$$ AS THE NEXT GUY'S, BUT UNFORTUNATELY MY WIFE HAS OTHER PLANS FOR MY LIFE SAVINGS. ANYWAYS A LITTLE ABOUT IT: IT RUNS LIKE A SEWING MACHINE, AFTER GETTING IT RUNNING I FLUSHED THE CRANKCASE WITH CHEMTOOL ENGINE FLUSH AND CHANGED THE OIL. LOOKED FOR AND ORIGINAL OIL CARTRIDGE BUT COULDN'T FIND ONE, SO I KICKED OUT THE MONEY FOR THE OIL FILTER ADAPTER KIT (199.00). REMOVED THE CHRYSLER CORDOBA SEATS AND THE BUTCHERED UP FACTORY BENCH SEAT MOUNT AND THREW THEM AWAY, DUE TO THE FACT THEY WERE NOT EVEN WORTH SAVING ( THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT MOUNT MISSING AND THE PASSENGERS SIDE WAS CUT IN HALF). REMOVED THE TANK TO SEE THE CONDITION OF THE FLOOR AND THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK AND SURPRISINGLY ENOUGH BOTH LOOKED VERY WELL. DRAINED THE FUEL INTO A FIVE GALLON BUCKET AND FILLED TANK COMPLETELY TO SEE IF ANY LEAKS. NONE WERE FOUND. DROVE THE UNIT AROUND THE BLOCK WITH MY LITTLE GIRL AS SHE LAUGHED ALL THE WAY AROUND BECAUSE I WAS SITTING ON A MILK CRATE. OH AND BY THE WAY IT WASN'T VERY FAST DUE TO NO BRAKES AND CLUTCH FUID LEAKS OUT TOO. I DID ADD FLUID AND BLEED AT THE BRAKES AND THE CLUTCH AND IN A MATTER OF 3 OR 4 DAYS IT MADE IT TO THE GROUND. VIA CAUSING ME TO PURCHASE A LARGE DRIP PAN. VEHICLE IS IN GOOD CONDITION FOR ITS AGE, NATURALLY IT HAS RUST IN THE BACK AND I'M ASSUMING UNDER THE ALUMINUM DIAMOND PLATE SCREWED TO THE SIDES. BUT I CAN SAY THE CONDITION OF THE FENDERS AND THE FRONT SEAM BELOW THE DOORS FORWARD MAKE THIS UNIT A VERY STRONG CANDIDATE FOR AN ALUMINUM TUB. THE WHEELS THAT ARE ON IT ARE OFF A 1990 CHEVY SUBURBAN WITH LEFT OVER TIRES FROM MY IMCA MODIFIED RACE CAR. THEY ARE NOT WORTHY OF RUNNING FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. THEY WERE JUST INSTALLLED DUE TO THE WHEELS AND TIRES THAT WERE ON IT ONLY HELD AIR LONG ENOUGH TO GET IT ON THE TOW TRUCK. AND NO THEY WERE NOT ORIGINAL FJ40 RIMS SORRY. AN EXTRA THREE SPEED TRANSMISSION WILL GO WITH IT DUE TO IT COMING OUT OF THE OTHER LANDCRUISER PICTURED WITH IT (AND NO THE RED ONE ISN'T THE ONE FOR SALE NOR WILL I REPLY TO ANY INQUIRIES ON IT) NO ONE HAS ENOUGH MONEY FOR THE RED ONE. WITH A LITTLE WORK THIS 1966 TOYOTAL LANDCRUISER WILL FILL THE NEED OF A TRUE LANDCRUISER FANTATIC. UNIT IS SOLD AS IS AND THE WINNING BIDDER WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR VEHICLE PICK UP AT MY RESIDENCE. WILL NOT SHIP NOR GIVE ANY QUOTES ON SHIPPING. SO BE AWARE OF THE DISTANCE YOU WILL HAVE TO TRAVEL TO PICK THE UNIT UP BEFORE BIDDING. I WILL DRIVE IT AROUND THE FRONT FROM MY BACKYARD AND YOU WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOADING IT ON OR IN THE TRAILER OR TOW TRUCK YOU BRING. VEHICLE HAS NO TITLE BUT ONE CAN BE OBTAINED THROUGH A TITLE SEARCH. VEHICLE IS IN NEED OF WORK FOR RESTORATION OR CAN BE USED AS PARTS VEHICLE. COULD GO EITHER WAY, JUST DEPENDS ON THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER. ANY PARTS OR COMPONENTS NEEDED FOR UNIT ARE FREQUENTLY AVAILABE HERE ON EBAY OR ANY OTHER TOYOTA LANDCRUISER SOURCE. ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO TEXT OR CALL 775-304-4111 I DIDN'T GET ANY PICTURES OF THE ENGINE OR THE BACK OF THE BODY, BUT REST ASSURED IT RUNS AND IT'S RUSTED. GOOD LUCK BIDDING AND BID TO WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD AND DON'T GO ANY FURTHER BECAUSE NON PAYING BIDDERS WILL RECIEVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK.On Dec-19-12 at 20:53:18 PST, seller added the following information: ADDED A PHOTO OF THE EXTRA TRANS ON 12/19/12. WAS WORKING FLAWLESSLY WHEN I TOOK IT OUT AND HAS BEEN INSIDE EVER SINCE. JUST DUSTY.On Dec-21-12 at 09:21:24 PST, seller added the following information: FOR THOSE WHO HAVE WATCHED THIS AUCTION IN AMAZEMENT I HAVE TO SAY I AM AMAZED MYSELF, BUT HERE IS THE MESSAGE I AM GOING TO RELAY TO ALL THE WATCHERS ON THIS AUCTION (20) OF YOU AT THIS TIME. I HAVE BEEN APPROACHED BY APPARENTLY 3 PERSONS INVOVLED ATTEMPTING TO GET MY PAYPAL INFORMATION. I WILL LET THE AUCTION GO THE TERM AND WILL RELIST AS SOON AS IT ENDS. I MAY MAKE SOME CHANGES TO THE WAY IT IS VIEWED AND SHOW THE POTENTIAL BUYERS USERNAMES. MAKING IT A PRIVATE AUCTION SEEMED TO HIDE THE IDENTITY OF THE TWO THAT MADE THE BIDS GO SO HIGH. I WILL BE TOTALLY SURPRISED IS THE HIGH BIDDER IS EVEN STILL AROUND OR ACTUALLY INTERESTED IN THE AUCTION. IF I AM WRONG MY LOSS, IF NOT THE INDIVIDUALS WILL BE REPORTED TO THE FRAUD DEPARTMENT AS OUTLINED IN THE EBAY CONDUCT STANDARDS. BUT REMEMBER ALL IT TAKES IS A DOLLAR MORE TO OWN A ICONIC PIECE OF HISTORY. ONE OF THE FIRST LANDCRUISERS IN THE FJ40 MODEL YEARS.. GOOD LUCK AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS. REMEMBER TO SAVE THIS AUCTION AND VISIT IT AGAIN BECAUSE I'M SURE IT WILL BE RELISTED, AND HOPEFULLY WITHOUT THE COMPLICATIONS OF SOMEONE TRYING TO STICK THERE HANDS IN MY POCKET UNINVITED.
