VEHICLE DESCRIPTION
Up for auction is a 1970 Toyota FJ40 Landcruiser in exceptionally good condition. This FJ40 does not have any of the typical rust-through issues (ie inside the door sills, front driver and passenger floor pans, floor pan section near rear tailgate doors, rear quarter panels, front wheel wells). All of these areas are in very good condition. There is only surface rust. About 95% original except for shock absorbers, Holley carburetor, re-upholstered seats and headliner. As best as I can tell it has only had 3 owners and has been kept indoors most of its life. Starts up easily and runs solid and strong.
Please read full description below and see pictures for details and condition.
Note: Please remember this is a used vehicle, its not perfect. It would be a great daily driver or a perfect candidate for a beautiful restoration. Look at the photos, I have pointed out any problem areas the best that I can.
