TOYOTA LAND CRUISER FJ40 1976

First of all, hanks for the numerous messages and offers. Getting closer to an agreeable price for a new owner on this 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 with a2F engine.
I am the third owner (second owner had it for just over 35 years). This FJ40 spent all but a short time in the very dry climate of westTexas andwas primarily used for lightranch and hunting duties.I have owned a total of 14 FJ40s and 2 FJ45 pickups in the last 30 years and this stock '76 is amazing. It has99.9% of the 'original-stuff'' still on it AND that stuff still functions! I currently have two other FJ40s and the facility-spacerequires this one to be adopted. I have a passion for these vehicles and I'm certain that the new owner will love it.I live 40 minutes northwest of Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston and 90 minutes northwest of Hobby Airport in Houston, X.I welcome you to inspect and drive this vehicle and you will agree as to the quality of this FJ40. My bet is that in another 40 years (2056), eople will still be admiring this 80-year-old Land Cruiser as a true classic!
Interior:New front seats and jump seats inFJ40 stock-grey from the master craftsman at Cruiser Corps.(total of 8 pieces). At the top of the seat backs (under the new marine-naugahyde upholstery), eats do have theshafts for theheadrestsas theywere optional that year.These can be foundat SOR, ruiser Corps or Cool Cruisers.Driver & passenger floorboards and cargo bed are in great condition (see photos). The areas that appear white is the very minor surface rust that I treated, ut wanted to leave visible for the new owner to see just how great this vehicle has been cared for (and thank God for Texas weather). The drivers side floor board even has the black hardened glue that was used to adhere the rubber mat to the floor. Note; the red-colored, tock soundproofing/weatherproofing textured material that is still intact on the drivers floorboard and the transmission hump....still in great condition. All knobs and switches are present and operate:wipers slow& fast and the washer even works (plastic water reservoir is cracked, ut functional).choke, azard, igarette lighter (even us no-smokers appreciate it still works), an low & high, resh air, arm air all function. Vent/heat/defrost knobs present and heater functions. Rear heater was disassembled, leaned and it has an easy-access, uick disconnect wire to turn it on & off. It works well and will certainly warm-your-cargo.AM/FM radio has the original speaker in the glove box. Antennae is missing. All gauges operate correctly and hold steady. (Nice that this FJ40 holds engine temp on the cool side).Emergency brake holds the vehicle stationary.Horn functions with two horn assemblies on the side of the radiator shroud.Gauges, ash, eater and dome lights all function.Previous owner had wired & switched (under steering wheel) for fog light, o I left that in place.Sun visors and rear view mirror are moveable, ut hold tight in place.Glove box....you can eat out of there it is so clean!Driver & passenger windows roll up and down properly.Driver, assenger, mbulance doors and fuel doorlock & unlock with TWO sets of keys.Headliner is present and in good condition with no tears.Jump seats fold down and stow up with straps.Seat belts for both front and both jump seats present and function properly.Rubber weather striping around all doors and windows are in good condition.Roll cage is present and has the four padded pieces intact.

While it is not quite the interior stock Land Cruiser FJ40 Freeborn Red, t is a close match to it. The bright fire engine red gets a lot of attention! Thisvehicle does have a few scratches on it from it's 40 year tour-of-duty. There is a scar on the right-rear panel and a repair made on the left-rear panel tocover the hole left by a CB radio antennae. Didn't have cell phones back then so ranchers communicated w/CBs.Tires are Power King Super Traction 7.00x15LT. Nice military look! Fronts have 70% and backs 35% remaining tread.
