This is a great FJ40. Its not perfect but draws attention everywhere we drive it. You rarely see these and almost never see one in this condition.
I have most of the chain of title back to 1980 when it was purchased in Colorado. It was then titled in Texas in 1996 where it appears to have undergone a full restoration based on the notes and a folder I have. It appears everything mechanical was redone, it was painted and underside coated and painted. It moved to FL in 1997 when it was appraised at $17,500. That's where I bought it last fall. It is currently tagged and insured by my father in law in GA and I also have an open FL title.
When I bought it, it needed freshened up so I had it repainted (inside and out) its original Sky Blue color. What little rust there was (I could hold it in palm of one hand) was cut out when it was repainted. Rhino liner was used on interior floors and exterior steps. I bought new exterior mirrors, door handles, dash pad cover and some other miscellaneous items from Cool Cruisers of TX at that time.
Its been inspected by my mechanic and is very sound mechanically. There was a variety of little things (oil change, radiator flush, inspection, wiper blades, etc.) he did. Original engine with non-functional smog equipment still installed. Factory 4-speed and front disc brakes. The FJ starts, runs, drives and stops great. 4WD appears to work fine but I've not had it off-road. I rarely drive it but use it occasionally when other cars are in shop. I think you'd be safe to drive it anywhere.
It has a practically new set of aftermarket wheels and tries. White letters still have blue on inside.
Lights, switches, gauges, etc. function as they should as far as I can tell except for dash light flickers and I have an OEM switch that needs to be installed. OEM front and rear mats. Non-Toyota rear lap belts installed but I have factory ones that will go with truck. I've installed the OEM rear mat and OEM ambulance door cover since pictures were taken.
As far as bad, there's not a lot, but it is a 35 year old truck. Windows rattle unless you roll them up tight. Driver's side rear ambulance door pops out of the upper catch and rattles if you hit a bump hard. Headliner needs to be reattached in back rear corner (I will try and do this before shipping). Radio needs to be hooked up. If I kept it I will probably spray seat frames black. The interior light switch does not work, but I have a used OEM one (and bulb) that needs to be installed. I don't have the plastic light cover. I should probably have the alignment checked but just haven't done that yet.
That's all the issues I can think of but there may be a handful of others. I'm happy to answer any questions to the best of my knowledge. Please email them to me with a phone number and I'll respond via email or call ASAP.
Winning bidder needs to have FJ40 picked up within a week of auctions end, The FJ40 is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end auction early at any time.

2014 Toyota Corolla priced from $16,800*
Tue, 27 Aug 2013We'll be publishing our First Drive of the 2014 Toyota Corolla later today, but right now, we can reveal that the eleventh-generation compact will be priced from $16,800 when it hits dealerships this fall (*not including a $810 destination charge).
Four trim levels will be offered, and that sub-$17,000 price point reflects the base L grade with a six-speed manual transmission. Adding the four-speed automatic (yep) brings that price up to $17,400, which gets you the usual features standard on this class of car, including Bluetooth connectivity, eight airbags and - a first for this price point - LED headlamps.
From there, the LE trim ($18,300) adds a backup camera, cruise control, keyless entry, Entune audio (including a 6.1-inch touchscreen) and a brand-new continuously variable transmission replacing the four-speed auto. There's even an Eco version of the LE trim that uses a different engine tune to provide fuel economy of up to 42 miles per gallon on the highway.
2014 Toyota 4Runner priced at $32,820*
Wed, 04 Sep 2013Toyota has announced pricing on its facelifted 2014 4Runner. The rough-and-tumble SUV will be available in three grades: base SR5, upmarket Limited and off-road-ready Trail. Depending on the trim level, buyers will have the choice of rear-drive or one of two different four-wheel drive systems. The sole engine is Toyota's 4.0-liter, 270-horsepower V6.
Entry-level buyers can get an SR5 for $32,820. That includes 17-inch wheels, fabric seats and Toyota's Entune infotainment system. Adding four-wheel drive bumps the price by $2,920, while the Premium Package (SofTex faux leather seats, navigation, sunroof, auto-dimming mirrors and power passenger seat) adds $1,875. All model prices listed do not include $860 for destination and tax.
The Trail starts at $35,725, while the Trail Premium bumps the price to $38,645, adding the same suite of equipment found on the SR5. While it boasts the same standard equipment as the SR5, the Trail is better suited for going off road. A multi-terrain response system comes standard, as does hill-start assist and Toyota's Crawl Control. For an extra sum, buyers can opt for the Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System, which automatically disconnects the sway bars for better articulation and trail holding.
Toyota again claims Corolla outsold Focus worldwide
Wed, 10 Apr 2013Toyota isn't convinced the Ford Focus was the best-selling nameplate globally last year. Bloomberg reports that for the second time in seven months, both Toyota and Ford are laying claim to the title. Ford cites R.L. Polk & Co. data that says the automaker moved some 1.02 million Focus models in 2012 compared to just 872,774 Toyota Corolla units. But Toyota says the actual figure is closer to 1.16 million Corolla models.
Last year, Ford said it took the sales crown through the fist half of 2012 based on information from IHS Automotive, but Toyota pointed out those numbers left out models like the Corolla-based Matrix and Auris, as well as the Corolla Fielder and Scion xB-based Corolla Rumion. Whether or not Toyota's belief that all these cars should be counted in the Corolla bucket is accurate or not is seemingly up for debate... as is the question of why it matters so much to both parties.
This time around, Ford is holding the line that the Focus is the "best-selling nameplate," with Erich Merkle, a US sales analyst with Ford saying the company's figure is, "a pure number that is verified by a third party." Toyota, meanwhile, has requested clarification from Polk.
