Equipment
Gray steel 15" steel wheels, All-Terrain T/A tires, Motorola AM radio, center-facing rear seats, rear-mounted spare.
Condition
Amazing, fresh, meticulous restoration to better than new condition on a 67,526-mile Arizona/New Mexico vehicle. Powder-coated frame and other thoughtful details like that. Other than the 40-year old seatbelts with their original Toyota labels this is a brand-new vehicle with 'new car smell' inside.
Market commentary
No auction today is complete without an FJ40 or two. Sometimes they are superficially redone to decidedly mediocre standards, other times they're beyond-perfect jewelry. Similarly, values range from mediocre to incredulous. While $68,750 is a lot to pay for a Japanese Jeep, in the current FJ40 euphoria this result is an appropriate compromise between its exceptional quality and the amount paid for it. Rarely will a better example be found.
