Car description

1978 Toyota Landcruiser FJ 40 in outstanding original condition. The most coveted year of the FJ40s and last year of the classic round bezel. 81,209 original miles (documented on the title) on the stock Inline 6 cylinder, 4.2L, 2F engine and factory 4 speed full synchromesh transmission. Meticulously maintained. Recent full tune up included oil/filter, antifreeze, spark plugs and wires, and Heavy Duty Battery. Has the complete Factory Emissions Control Package installed and working perfectly. It will pass California and Oregon DEQ (Department of Environmental Quality) inspections. Only E0 (Ethanol-Free) premium gasoline has ever been used in this engine and it purrs. Stock exhaust system out the rear of vehicle with the factory muffler. Power assisted Front disc, rear drum brakes work perfectly. (E-Brake, and light, too). It has Power Steering and dual steering stabilizers which make driving very easy! Warn locking hubs, four wheel drive, 2 speed transfer case (both High and Low) work perfectly. HFS (Hell For Stout) Extreme 4" Suspension lift includes springs, greasable gun-drilled bolts, zerks, and nylon nuts. HFS shock absorbers and 2 steering stabilizers. All professionally installed. 5 Brand new BF Goodrich 33X10.5" Mud Terrain Radial (KM2's) tires on all 5 Toyota original wheels and factory hubcaps (spare too) with less than 50 miles on them. I have all of the factory springs, u bolts/hardware etc. to completely convert this vehicle back to it's original condition. Including the shocks and 5 BFG All-Terrain LT 235/75R15 tires that are like new. All of it goes with the vehicle, unless the new owner doesn't want it.
Body is uncut, unmolested and original. The entire vehicle was repainted it's original color Toyota #309 Freeborn Red except the firewall. There is zero rust, anywhere. Every factory spot weld is visible, and the entire vehicle has 4 fresh coats of wax on it. It has factory undercoating, except under the front fenders which were repainted it's original color. The original antennae is installed under the arrow (just slides right off). Forgot to remove it for the pictures. Front HFS bumper holds the vintage Heavy Duty Warn 8274 8000 LB. winch (dated 08/21/1977) in excellent condition, (comes with remote) and vintage fog lights that work perfectly. (Comes with the factory front bumper as well, see picture). Stock rear bumperettes and 2" ball on the hitch for towing. Has the "old-school" 4 prong light adapter.
Interior is in excellent condition. Original seats (front and back) have no rips or tears in them. Front seats have the optional headrests, and rear seats have their straps that hold them up when not in use. All 4 seats have their original working seat belts. The headliner and visors are excellent ( no rips or tears). Original factory front floor mat is like new. (Rear mat is excellent as well). All gauges, lights, high-beam indicator light, heater, fan, rear heater, defrost, wipers, windshield washer squirter, "beep-beep" horn, interior light, lighter, seat belts, windows, doors and locks work as they should. Even the "Fasten seat belts" light and buzzer work when you start it up. The dash has never been drilled or cut. Switches for the fog lights and off-road lights are all nicely mounted in the factory holes in the dash. The factory emergency glove box light is in the glove box and has the original emergency light plug-in. All seals for the top and windshield are in excellent shape. Door seals for all 4 doors are new. Factory roll-bar, with original pads. Comes with the original bottle jack under the driver's seat, and original jack handle bars behind the rear seat in their proper homes. (see pics.). Also comes with the TEQ Toyota Motor Co. factory tool kit bag which includes: Toyota Lug Wrench, pliers, 12, 14 and 17mm open-end Toyota wrenches, hubcap wrench, Toyota spark plug tool, wheel chuck/stop and pry bars. (see pics). Alpine AM/FM Digital Stereo with Cassette player and clock, and it works!
The Con-Ferr roof/safari rack holds 4 off-road halogen navigator lights, (hard covers included), axe, shovel and Hi-Lift jack. All 4 corners, gutter mounts and hardware are stamped with the ConFerr logo. It is easily removed with 6 nuts and by unplugging the lights. The top comes off with 22 bolts (see pictures). Side and rear ambulance doors are removable as well. Windshield folds down and hooks to the hood (see picture). Tailgate installs easily to the ambulance door bolt holes and holds the factory rear license plate holder and Euro/Jerry Can.Comes with the locking gas can holder and keys (spout too). I also have a vintage FJ40 Best-Top Soft-Top with doors and all the hardware that comes with the vehicle. I have not installed it, but thought I might use it one day. It will come with the vehicle unless the new owner does not want it. I am willing to negotiate that.
Current Oregon plates will go with the vehicle to an Oregon buyer. Vehicle is currently licensed through December 7th of 2019. Comes with the original Toyota FJ40 Landcruiser Owner's Manual in mint condition, Toyota 2F Engine Repair manual, and the very rare Toyota 2F Engine Emission Control Repair Manual specifically for 1978 USA models only (see picture). Also comes with a full car cover with storage bag. Clear title ( in my name) in hand. If you are looking for a versatile utilitarian vehicle, this is it!! Top off in the Spring and Summer, Top on for Fall and Winter. Don't miss your opportunity to own this famous classic vintage vehicle that will only gain value year after year! The reserve is set relatively low for it's value. You will be hard pressed to find an FJ40 in this condition, for the money. I have this vehicle listed locally as well and reserve the right to end this auction early.
