This beautiful FJ40 Toyota Land Cruiser has been in SoCal since new. No modifications other than the old cassette player (which does not work...). One early repaint over an exceptional body with no apparent rust history at all, and all factory spot weld marks still evident (a key distinction). Mild patina, a few scratches, but lovely and ready to enjoy. We have combed through it and addressed any and all mechanical service needs. Current Ca smog check. This excellent example of a premium year FJ40 features the 2F engine (loads of torque) with the two barrel carb, four speed transmission with syncro's, power assisted disc brakes and more. It is "fully loaded" for the year, with all US options (I joke, because there was only one, the rear heater!). All upholstery, headliner, door panels and front rubber mat are original and remain in excellent condition. Wheels and hub caps original too! Runs and drives great. This is the sort of FJ40 that we would recommend you leave alone, and enjoy as it is. In time, it will serve as a great foundation for any level of restoration, but it is in that sweet spot where it looks and drives great, and does not need such work at this time. A great investment. Watch the video for more details, and make sure to visit our website to get to know us better. While many individuals and companies have come out of the woodwork in recent times to capitalize on the now widespread popularity and skyrocketing values of the classic FJ40, TLC is the nations oldest and most trusted expert in this niche. We scour the country for the best original examples. Next, we do not merely relist them and look for a profit, we add value by taking responsibility by combing through them and servicing them in detail before reselling them. Sadly, this is rarely done in the modern world. We have over twenty years of experience and a hard earned reputation for quality. We never import grey market Cruisers, because they are usually not smog legal and they have lesser equipment (such as drum brakes when the US models had power disc brakes). This is an excellent example of a great model year, drastically more drive-able than the earlier models. This vehicle is located at our 50K square foot shop in Los Angeles. We are a licensed and bonded California dealer. In addition to winning bid, $150 will be due for documents and smog fee. In-State buyers must pay applicable sales tax and registration. Out-of-State buyers responsible for $150 fee, but we are not required to collect tax is the vehicle is transported out of State via a licensed transporter, which we can coordinate for you at your expense. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions. Thank you for your time.
