Toyota Land Cruiser restoration shop offers this 1974 FJ40.  I received this truck as a trade in on a mint original 40. The previous owner did a lot of good work to it. I'm offering it as a running/driving mild project vehicle. I had my tech go over it. I'll describe the condition below. I added some parts to make this vehicle more complete. I briefly drove this truck. but did not rebuild the entire thing. I wanted to keep this truck budget minded for an enthusiast that wants to do mild tinkering.   1974 model year is California emissions exempt as most other states. check your state to be sure.

MECHANICAL

The motor is a healthy small block Chevy with HEI ignition. 4 barrel carb. FJ40 over the fender headers. power steering pump.   The power steering needs to be completed. there are some parts included. but will need additional items to be completed. Motor is strong. Flowmaster or type muffler. it's loud. New clutch. complete front end rebuild. brake rebuild with motor all done 4 years ago. 3 speed transmission shift well. 4wd works. 95% tread BFG 33/12. 5/15 all terrains on steel wheels.

BODY

This is a solid body FJ40.   No serious rot. I think there may be a little above the tail lights as always. The floors and doors are excellent.   Mediocre paint job several years ago. Fiberglass hood. Frame and suspension look good. No evidence of any wreck. overall a great foundation.

MY OPINION

This is a great start. expensive items in place. Good enough to run/drive on/off trailer or down the street. not good enough for interstate travel. Needs tinkering. The body is in excellent shape speaking FJ40. I'm letting this one go no reserve. this is a worthy project. these trucks are worth big dollars restored.

ITEMS THAT NEED ATTENTION

The motor runs strong but I noticed a partially melted plug wire. exhaust gaskets leaking. the brakes were redone 4 years ago with very little miles. but the wheel cylinders need manual adjustment. these are not self adjusting. Other minor tinkering items here and there. I do not have time to address these issues. sold as-is PROJECT VEHICLE.

MINOR ISSUES GET A GOOD DEAL ON THIS TRUCK. I'M BACKED UP FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. LAST TIME FOR SALE. I WILL FIX THE ISSUES WHEN I CAN THEN ASK MORE MONEY. SO IF YOU ARE HANDY GET A GOOD FJ40 FOR A HELL OF A DEAL.

I have another FJ40 on auction. a 76 expedition vehicle $19. 00.

I require a $1000 non-refundable deposit immediately after auction conclusion. The rest wire transfer or cashier's check within 5 days closed auction.  NO EXCEPTIONS I hold a clear clean WA state title in hand for this truck. I welcome 3rd party inspections during the auction. winning is not 1st chance to look. I own Auto Appraisals & Pre-Buy Inspections so skip me in the phone book. I have a shipping broker whom I trust. will pass his info to you. he only does lower 48. I can get this to Alaska Hawaii or other countries as well.   Payment will be made to my business.
