Description of 1962 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 |
Hey Everybody, I've got a 1962 FJ40 FST that I purchased from California a few years back it is a completely rot free body, though it has plenty of character and surface rust from being outside. When it came to me it was a bit of a FJ25/FJ40 mutt. The hood, fenders, and front bib at some point in it's life had been replaced with FJ25 body parts. My plan was to restore this FST as it is a rare bird to begin with and very hard to find one that still has the original doors and bows which are unique to the '61-'62 FJ40. To that point over the last few years I have been collecting the proper parts to bring it back to stock, FJ40 bib and stamped "Land Cruiser" bezel, correct front and rear seats, FJ40 rims and hubcaps, etc. The FJ40 is currently a roller as the original trans and t-case were removed years ago. I do not know the condition of the original engine other than it turns over by hand. This certainly is a full on project but it has great bones and lots of potential for a restoration or driver build. The Bad:- No title comes with a bill of sale only.- The FST doors while present will need metal work, I am including a later set of FST doors to rebuild the originals with.- The original 3spd side shifter trans and t-case are included but will require a full tear down, if you are going the restoration route. The Good:- Rot free California body and patina.- A lot or rare hard to find items are present. Happy bidding and please reach out with any questions.JP |
