OVERVIEW: This 1972 FJ40 is in awesome shape with one exception: The original F engine was recently rebuilt and after only 2,000 miles the engine threw a rod and is currently out of commission. The good news is, you can probably pick this Cruiser up pretty cheap because of the issue and either rebuilding the engine or replace it and you'll have a killer ride! - Clean Colorado title
- Original F engine and 3 speed manual transmission ( on the floor )
- 4WD works great
- Engine was recently rebuilt, and appears to have been done well (obviously, except for the fact that it threw a rod...it's hypothesized that the 17-year old who drove it may have driven it in such a way to have caused this).
- New clutch
- New Weber carb
- New brake master and booster
- New coil
- New fuel pump
- New radiator
- New MSD Ignition
- All gauges work and the speedo needle looks brand new
- Passed emissions a couple years back (expect it will pass again)
- 3-4" Pro Comp Lift
- 33" x 12.5 x 15" Tires
- Aluminum wheels
- New Bestop Full Soft Top
- Recent paint job
- All glass is in clean condition
- All original and OEM parts used whenever/wherever possible
- AM/FM CD Player with four speakers works and sounds great. Can easily be removed if looking to keep it completely factory.
- All the original knobs are there and everything works
- Blinkers, lights, and interior lights all work
- Factory tow hitch with wiring for trailer ready to go
- Original rear bumperettes
- Original rear jump seats
- Original front bench seat recently reupholstered and looks great
- This truck is very much an "OEM" truck.
- Even the oil filter is a Toyota oil filter and there are TEQ stamps on most everything.
- Warn 8274 winch works great
Here are the down sides (at least according to a FJ purist who appreciates an all-original FJ40):
1) Obviously, the biggest down side is that the engine blew a rod. That said, everything else in this rig is pretty much brand new and you can tell it was cared for. From the Toyota emblems, to the radiator, brake lights, coil, and other interior parts, you can see that that the person cared about having NOS Toyota parts replaced. If you're handy and can rebuild the engine yourself, you're going to have a really nice rig at a steal of a price. Even if you pay someone to rebuild the engine, you'll still be ahead at $5,500.
2) The paint job is just okay. It looks nice and presents extremely well, but it's not a top of the line, $6000 paint job. Of course, this is not a $25,000 asking price, either. So, for what it is, the paint job is really pretty nice and it's a head-turner the way it is.
3) The interior wasn't painted to match. The dash is green and the interior doors are black. It doesn't look awful, but if I were looking to keep this rig and restore it, I would either look to match the interior with the same color as the exterior or do the body and the paint right.
4) The metal is in good shape with the exception of the rear corners and a small bit of rust by the rockers. The fenders are beautiful, as is the hood, apron, rear barn doors, front doors, front windshield frame and interior floor boards. The underbody is in really good shape, as is to be expected for a Colorado vehicle.
I reserve the right to sell this vehicle locally at a fixed price and reserve the option to remove this listing and sell locally. On Jul-18-14 at 08:46:47 PDT, seller added the following information:

Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.

Toyota has announced plans to export the American-made Corolla south, to 18 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean by 2014. The move follows statements made to The Wall Street Journal by Toyota's South American leader, Steve St. Angelo, that spoke to Toyota's resolve in emerging American markets.
Toyota is expected to begin export production in April, with initial production of 7,500 Corollas in the first year, courtesy of its Tupelo, Mississippi assembly plant. Years of unpredictable swings in the value of the Japanese yen has seen Toyota push its manufacturing operations in other countries, particularly the US, where its builds ten different models.

The 91st running of the Pike's Peak International Hill Climb is scheduled to begin on June 30. Like last year's event, the 12.42 mile course - fully paved these days - starts at 9,390 feet elevation and doesn't stop climbing until it reaches an impressive 14,110 feet (the air is so thin up there that the FAA requires pilots to use oxygen at that altitude).
There will be an assortment of internal combustion machines racing to the summit, entries from France, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Sweden, Brazil, Canada, Great Britain, Hungary, Czech Republic, Poland and Belgium, but all eyes will be on the electric showdown between Rod Millen and Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima, from Japan. 61-year-old Millen is a familiar name to Toyota racing fans, and he will be driving the Toyota TMG EV P002 (it won the Electric title last year), while Tajima will be again piloting the Monster Sport E-Runner (which was forced out of the field last year after a fire broke out).
Other entrants include Rhys Millen driving a 2013 Hyundai PM58OT and Paul Dallenbach, who will be driving Millen's Hyundai Genesis Coupe (it set the all-time speed mark last year).
