Meet "Raquel" which is a 1981 FJ40 Soft Top. Truck is in Colombia and will be exported in January 2016.
Volcan 4x4, LC is the seller and we are a $25,000 bonded Florida specialty dealer focusing on high quality LHD classic 4x4s including Land Cruisers. We have sourced, estored, mported and delivered over a dozen classic FJs.
By buying direct from Volcan 4x4 you get a high quality FJ and cut out all the middlemen and dealer and auction fees. We will provide references.
This truck is a bargain and is the BEST condition FJ I personally have found with over 2.5 years on the ground in Colombia. I drove this truck for over 2 hours and other than the split rims which were vibrating (we will change those) and not 100% brakes this is a sweet driving FJ40. Most of our trucks need extensive overhaul. We paid top dollar for this excellent condition FJ40.
This truck has laser straight body lines, ery clean floors and looks to have been only repainted maybe one time. Have not tested the compression but this is a strong 2F. The truck runs right up the mountain road in 3rd gear.
Please consider contracting this truck ASAP. We can maybe add a few options before exporting. Otherwise this truck will go to the winter auctions.

You can sit on the sidelines or pay $50,000 to $60,000 for a similar truck like this or you can put up a refundable $10,000 deposit and make this truck yours and be driving it this winter and spring. Come to Tampa and see it when it arrives or better yet we will just ship it to you with an enclosed trailer service we use now. You won't find another truck like this for under $40,000. We just shipped 2 great FJ40s to clients in December you can see them in the photos. They are sold. One was a 1982 FJ40 in white and the other was a green 1978 FJ40. Volcan 4x4 is building a reputation for very high quality, are trucks at a real value. This is our 18th truck or so. This "Raquel" is a keeper.
