Well I'm sure no expert on F J-40's. but a guy I know. owned this jeep for almost 20 years. A few years ago he bought a new F J and this 1974 has sat mostly idle ever since. He would drive it once a month or so just to keep it up and going. I ended up with it. and I am now selling it. (I was thinking my son could use it. but he just bought a second vehicle). It's a bit dirty from sitting. but it is exactly as I received it. It has the original engine and running gear. It run and drives well. He has added a locker rear end. and a small lift kit. as well as over- sized tires which are excellent. It's sure not perfect but it is not as rusty as most I've seen this age. It still has the original Toyota P. T. O. winch. Sorry for the poor photos but it was snowing outside. when I took them. so I had to take most of them in my garage. This would make a neat daily driver or perhaps be a neat vehicle to restore one day. Like I said. It's sure not perfect or a garage queen. Because it is a 1974. it has a 4 speed transmission which is a real plus. I know it has a Webber carburator as well. There is a box of extra parts in back of the jeep (original gear setup. running boards. original carb. etc. ) My opening bid is $5000. 00 with no reserve. This Land Cruiser is 42 years old and being sold as is. I would much rather you plan for the worst. and hope for the best. than be disappointed in anyway. Now all this having been said. I cant imagine finding a better F J-40 like this for the price. I only want the buyer to be as excited as I was. when it came my way. I think whom ever ends up with this jeep will be very pleased. just my thoughts. Terms of sale. I can not ship. This means I can not crate. box. disassemble. or deliver to a shipping company. I will however be more than happy to assist your shipper. however I can.
