Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.15) based on 580 votes

Toyota Land Cruiser restoration shop offering this 1978 FJ40 on a No Reserve bid to buy auction. I have this 78 and a 67 FJ45 on eBay both NR. I have 2 mint FJ40's also listed on eBay. I bought this 78 FJ40 from an airforce pilot in Colorado Springs. He owned it for 12 years and did a decent restoration on it a couple years ago. He was getting transferred to Hawaii and did not want to take it with him. I bought it. put a few weeks worth of small mechanical fixes and upgrades to make it a great driver quality Cruiser. Many would call this a mint Cruiser. to keep it relative. I call my 72 and 79 on the other auctions mint Cruisers. this 78 is a nice driver to me. There are small cosmetic imperfections here and there. The pictures on the photobucket link below show many more pics than eBay allows.

MECHANICAL

1978 Cruisers are coveted by many to be the best year. I prefer 79-83's. so there is an argument about that. This 78 has the 2F inline 6 motor with the original carburetor. We tuned it. adjusted valves. got it to excellent running condition. Most of the emissions components were removed years ago. I don't have any spare emissions stuff left. but you can find and install it if your state requires. This 78 has fine spline disc brake front axle and fine spline rear 4. 10 geared. 4 speed transmission and transfer case. Tires are in the 32 in range on aluminum wheels. 2 in lift with newer shocks.

BODY

This truck was painted a dark red a couple years ago. The paint job was good. but after a couple years there are imperfections in the paint. Some chips. scratches etc. I call it a 10 foot paint job. The floor is rhino-lined. The front seats are nice and comfortable. there is a new Tuffy console with cup holders. the rear seat is a tuck and tumble with belts. New emblems and knobs throughout. Please look at all the photobucket pics. I tried to show any imperfections there.

I beleive this Cruiser to be a great driver for someone that wants a good looking truck without spending 50+k for a perfect one. I welcome 3rd party inspections during the auction. I own Auto Appraisals & Pre-Buy Inspections so skip me when looking in my area. As all vintage vehicle sales. it is sold as-is. I require a $1500 non-refundable deposit via PayPal immediately after auction is over. NO EXCEPTIONS. The rest within 5 days. I hold a clear clean WA state title in hand for this truck. I have a shipping broker whom I can put you in contact with or work with your shipper. If you are a new eBayer with FB under 10. you need to contact me with # before you bid. Unfortunately. most newbies don't come through. these auctions take a lot of time. I want them to go smoothly. Any questions? please ask! THX.

Thank you for all the questions/comments/offers on this 78 and the 67 ending no reserve. I plan to let the auctions ride to completion. I set it up that way. want to be fair and make sure everyone gets a chance to own it. Bidding is usually in the last few minutes on this type of auction. This 78 is a nice Cruiser. but not perfect. I don't mean to discourage anyone. I would rather you be pleasantly surprised. I do my best to be nit-picky on my adds in hopes to meet the expectations of most.
