Vehicle Detail
Was selling last week for $17,250- price lowered over $4,000 for quick sale. I am losing garage storage for this truck at the end of October. You will not find a nicer FJ 40 on Ebay for anything close to this price. The previous owner restored this truck about 10 years ago and it has had very light use since (about 10,000 miles since the restoration). So far as I know, it has never been off-roaded. This model has the very rare bi-fold rear window hard top. Here's the history of the truck that I received from the previous owner: It was purchased as a rust free Colorado truck in 2001. The original color was desert tan and had about 70,000 miles on the clock. The previous owner transplanted a low mileage (37,000 miles) 2F Toyota 6 engine, 4 speed transmission and 4-wheel drive transfer box, rear end/drive train and front seats from a 1975 FJ and then had the rig professionally painted white. The 64's originally had a smaller engine and 3 on the tree transmission. So, this is essentially an earlier model FJ 40 with a more modern and powerful running gear that now has only 47,000 miles on it. While I have no history on the carburetor- at appears fairly new and I assume to have been added during the restoration or afterwards. This FJ looks great and runs great. The engine has plenty of power and the truck drives true and straight down the road. There is no rust anywhere except for a few very small surface spots (less than the size of a penny) that I've sanded and touched up. The 10 year old paint has held up very nicely and has a nice shine. It has always been garaged since being restored. All glass is excellent, floors are solid and rhino lined. I've never removed the hard top because I haven't had a place to store it. As shown in the photo's, the rear bi-fold window opens, and coupled with the front under-window vents, keeps it cool in warm weather driving. That said, I have a brand new (still in the box) bikini top that will come with the truck as well as a nice set of black soft doors for your summer top off cruising. You may be able to see in one of the photo's that the hard top has a handsome custom gray felt headliner that is embroidered with "1964 Toyota Land Cruiser". It not only looks cool, but serves as great roof insulation and quiets outside noises. This FJ has a brand new Diehard Gold battery and installed on-board charger. If you opt to store it for longer periods during the winter, just plug it in for easy on-board charging. I recently added a pair of roof load bars and a roof basket rack. There's an old school am-fm cassette tape deck under the dash with great sounding rear surface mounted speakers. The Michelin tires are nearly new on 15 inch wheels. Rear mudflaps are either NOS or superb reproductions- they are nearly impossible to find. I have a reproduction of the original owners manual for the new owner, as well as a large crate of extra parts, filters, bulbs etc that I got with the truck when I purchased it. There are a few minor needs... my turn signals and brake lights are out. Fuses look OK so it may only be a ground wire. The bi-fold rear window goes up and down and locks into place when up, however there is some missing hardware that would allow you to lock the window when it's closed. I'm happy to show the FJ by appointment. Feel free to bring along your mechanic too. This is a very rare truck and if you've been looking at old FJ 40's you already know how prices have been soaring over the past few years. This is a fun truck and a great investment for the right buyer.
