Up for sale is my "would be" project that never will be, due to my wife's vehicle needing a new transmission: 1979 Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser with a current WV inspection sticker till 2/2015 Currently not running but was running GREAT!!! just a few weeks ago with great power, no smoke, very smooth, I cant seem to find out why it is not getting spark:/ it started missing and cutting out and then just died so i got new plugs/wires/coil....didnt fix it.... the only thing else would be the distributor.??...ground???... I dont have time to figure it out...my loss. Description and condition: Body: Ok, good bit of diamond plate that is in good condition, body panels have some rust but not bad, if you would restore this it would have to be completely sanded down and re worked. Frame: Ok but has one bad place that could be easily patched and made stronger. Tub: Underneath is in bad shape, pretty rusty, Mounts from the frame seem to be good but the tub is deteriorating around the mounts/rubber is bad (looks like a easy fix if you just wanted a daily driver) Engine: 67000 miles Original 2F, New oil/filter, Plugs, wires, coil Runs really good (when you get it started) Transmission: Original 4 Speed that shifts great and does NOT fall out of 3rd gear like my 76 FJ did. does sometimes slightly grind going into 3rd but not bad at all. Interior: Drivers seat is torn pretty bad, passengers is ok with some tearing, jump seats are really good shape with maybe some tearing at on the backs, Original "Toyota" rubber mat is in good shape. rear heater is all connected and operational ( i was told...been too hot to test but seems all good), floor pans have been welded with heavy metal plate, guages all work, all switches seem to work, except the washer fluid. It even still has the utility light in the glovebox with the outlet plug...and it works!!! Tires: Really good shape/all match Electrical: Head lights, blinkers, hazards all work, Pioneer radio works but has no speakers (i did test it though) 4WD/drive train: All 4wd components work as they should, Rear diff is locked/welded.
