1963 Toyota FJ40
straight frame, no modifications.  Body in good shape.  Has 2 front seats and 2 rear benches, seats total of 6 people.  I owned this vehicle for about 3 years and it has a clear Nevada title.   It is a true FJ40 with an off-center rear axle.  It is currently not driven daily but I run it every other week for a few miles.  The vehicle is in excellent shape and rust free.  It is complete, drivable and comes with some extra parts I collected during the last 3 years.


Engine:
stock 237 cubic inches straight 6 cylinder F-engine (not 2F) with 3 speed transmission with floor shift kit.  All gages working.  Vacuum transfer case shifter works.  No fluid leaks in cooling, engine, transmission and axles.  Heater and defroster works.  New sheet metal piece from Techfab welded under rear doors.  Vehicle has stock hard top and rear spare tire carrier.  I replaced the fuel tank, wind shield and rubber after I purchased it in 99 with a new parts.  The front seats are new in Apr-02, the rear benches have been redone in black vinyl with new foam from a local shop to match the new front seats.  Both door seals are replaced with new seals in May-02.  I recently flushed  the radiator and refilled with fresh anti freeze, replaced bypass hose.  I also rebuild the brake and clutch master cylinders, changed all hydraulic fluids and replaced various other rubber parts in Feb-02.  In May 2002  I purchased new running boards.   Some of the images below are without the boards but they are painted and mounted already.
All stock except:
Air cleaner (stock assembly provided).
MSD ignition system.
Bracket welded to front bumper for towing.
Good tires 235-75-15 on American racing wheels. (stock wheels provided).
Tail lights are Land Rover but fit the style.  See image above.
Alternator is newer model.
Pintle hitch.
 
Various spare parts included:
Conversion kit for oil filter to cartridge type spin on filter (image).
2 new factory height rear springs (image).
Water pump, distributor, 5 stock rims and tires (tires not street worthy)
And many other parts like intake and exhaust manifold  and several carburetors.  None of these parts are required to drive the vehicle, these are extra parts.   All parts are included in the vehicle price.
 
99% complete except:
factory hub caps missing
One wiper and wiper motor missing
 
Work needed:
Before you drive it across the US I would give it a lube job and a tune up.
The carburetor is functional, however a rebuild would most likely improve performance.  A rebuild kit is provided.
 
I can deliver the vehicle on a flatbed trailer if needed within the US for 50 cents/mile prepaid one way. That means you live in Los Angeles, one way is 260mls, delivery would cost $130.  To figure your distance, go to MapQuest and map from ZIP 89119 to your ZIP code using "Get Driving Directions".  If you like to have it shipped over long distances the 50 cents per mile may add up fast and a professional shipping service may save you a buck or two.  The a link to one I found:   Dependable Auto Shippers
