What Model Is This?

[daverami]

This poor thing has been sitting in a yard ever since I first saw it, 12 years ago. The photo isn't great as I stopped in the middle of the road to take it, and I don't know Land Cruisers well, but does anyone know what year/model this is? I'm curious. Thanks

I bet it would really need a major overhaul to get the vehicle to ever run again.

Ya, but it would worth it. Nice find.

I think I've seen that 40 in Kfalls before.

I may have put just as many miles on my '64 in college poking around Oregon as I've done with my wagon. Single barrel, 1F, 3speed (stock floor shift from what I can tell), 31s. Good times solo.

It has been patiently waiting about 8 years in the garage for me to get back to it.

62'-64' FJ40, called the "corregated top" with bi-fold rear door on the back, changed to the hatch in 65'. Looks like a great builder!

Rust doesn't look as bad as some I see driving around. I wouldn't even mess with the engine, yank it out put in a vortec, modern transmission, fix the rust , and have fun with it. I would be drooling over that if it was parked down the street from me.

I think I'll go over to the guys house and offer to tow it out of his yard!

 

[daverami]

I like it!

 

[fowldarr]

That would be a great freebee, if he went for it. Tell him you'll give it a good home.

Do it! That body looks straight, minimal rust, unmolested.....a real gem.
