Details

This early-model FJ40 is rare and equipped with parts that were incredibly difficult to source. The original owner purchased this FJ40 at a Toyota dealership, where it was one of the few hardtops with corrugated side panels. A small window and bifold doors complete this unique package. The back end features small swing-out doors with a unique, rear hatch that can be pushed up and folded horizontally — the only foldable version available on these models. The original windshield ventilation cover was restored and is in great working condition. The seats are newly trimmed in the original coral vinyl. Every switch, gauge and knob has been painstakingly restored or replaced with a new, original version of itself. This model was restored to its original specifications, and looks just as it did when it rolled off the line. Primed and painted in original factory Sierra Beige, highlights include all-new weatherstripping, all-new seals, hoses, coil and belt. It has new wiper arms, motors and blades as well as new brake and clutch master cylinder. It rides on original rims with new hubcaps and period-correct military-style tires. All the gauges and lights are working. It has original glass all around. The interior features new original-style upholstery and a new headliner. It's powered by a straight-6 engine with 3-on-the-tree manual transmission. The 4-wheel drive works well as does the original winch. This was originally an Arizona vehicle.
