Equipment
3,955/155hp inline six, 3-speed, air conditioning, winch, BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A tires.
Condition
#4 Fair
Has visible flaws to the naked eye. Runs fine, but could use mechanical or cosmetic attention.
The paint is quite bad, there are scuffs, scrapes and scratches throughout, the wheels and tires are new, the engine compartment is aged but not overly filthy and the chassis shows heavy oxidation. The interior is worn in but not worn out. An FJ40 with a lot of character. It has seen heavy use and has a patina that has taken many years and miles to earn.
Market commentary
Ready to go prospecting offroad or haul farm goods in its present condition but also amenable to an affordable restoration to near showroom condition, a more appealing project than taking some clapped out Central American diesel FJ and dressing it up. In Arizona, where every block seems to have a utilitarian FJ in someone's back yard, the bidders bought generously on the prospect of making a silk purse out of this sow's ear, leaving little head room even for paint much less all the other stuff it needs.
