FOR SALE: 1975 FJ40
Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA
Description: Red 1975 FJ40 with 2F engine and 4 spd. Mostly stock, except the front seats are out of a Mitsubishi Montero (driver seat has independent suspension), replaced the gauges with autometer but I have the original gauges/dash and aftermarket A/C unit. I've owned this Cruiser for about 15 years, bought it when I was living in El Salvador, and had it restored at the time. It was stripped down to the frame, all rust was replace with new metal and was repainted. I searched junkyards throughout Honduras/Guatemala and Salvador for replacement parts, those I couldn't find I had shipped from the States (if the part could fit inside APO box). Great vehicle, after restoration, I drove it from Salvador to Cancun, Mexico; after I spent a year plus exploring Guatemala. Unfortunately, my job sent me to Germany for five years, so I had it shipped to my parents house in Ohio, where it sat in the driveway until I returned to the States. I live now in Colorado and the FJ40 is currently titled in Colorado. I'm selling for I have two young daughters and its not the best vehicle for transporting kids (no seat-belts in the rears seats); it currently sits inside my garage, I take it out maybe once a month during the warmer months.
Price: $11,000
Known Problems: This vehicle has mostly sat for the past 10 plus years, most rubber/gaskets should be replaced. The rain gutter is rusted and need to be replaced but I've left the Cruiser outside a few times this summer and it doesn't leak. Some of the paint is bubbling, 15 years, it still looks good. Since this is a Central America Cruiser, it has no heater or smog pump. I don't have emission testing so its not an issue for me. No power steering or power brakes but the motor is strong and starts right up every time.
