1976 Toyota FJ40 - $14,000 - Boiling Springs, SC - This is an very nice unmolested Toyota FJ40. I bought it to restore to original because it was in such nice shape already for the money. This is a keeper because its was the first year that Toyota put power brakes on the FJ40. It also has power steering. It has the famous cast iron straight six motor . The original owner was an older gentleman that used it to tool around town and his farm in SC. I bought it thinking that I would have time to enjoy it. I have a busy schedule and I bet I haven't driven it more than an hour in the last year that I have owned it. The paint is pretty slick. I think he got it painted (original color) shortly before sold it. Original size New tires and factory rims and hub caps (very rare that it has these items) They are NOS items from Toyota. I also bought from Toyota new mirrors and turn signals. As I said I was going to make like new and enjoy. Seats in great condition too. It does not have the top. The last owner said it stayed garaged and never needed or used it and sold it. It does have a bimini top with a roll back sunroof from Spector off-road. .....Any questions just shoot me a message and I will answer. ...I was told the mileage is as on the speedometer but since I haven't had since new I can't in good faith tell you that's correct. However, there are some maintenance receipts that would reflect that... The things I have done to it is as follows
-complete break job all the way around.
-fixed any leaks.
-complete tune up from Toyota dealership
-NOS side mirrors
-NOS turn signal lights
-NOS Toyota hub caps
-new tires
-repair/replaced emergency break
-new muffler
-new belts
-Pertronix electronic ignition
- new matching spare tire and rim
- new Spector Off-Road vinyl doors with zip out windows
I have receipts for all mentioned repairs. I know I could get more based on quality as a restorer but I just want to get my money back and move on. I have $15,500 to $16k in it, so hope all works out for both of us. It will be for sale locally and may end the auction in the event that it is sold locally. thanks..
