1978 Colombian Import FJ40

This 1978. FJ40 was in imported from Columbia. There it received what I would characterize as a typical Colombian refurbishment.  It is cosmetically presentable, but far from perfect. Mechanically, it fires up, runs and drives with no glaring issues.

I want to be 100% candid. These imports show up on “classic car” dealership sites and at auction all the time. They get misrepresented by their sellers and hit the hands of unsuspecting buyers all the time. I wish these people were more honest, and the market was more educated, but they aren’t, and I’ve seen lots of people get burned on these vehicles. The problem is not the vehicles themselves, but rather the sellers of them. They either blatantly lie about the quality of the “Restoration” or they just play dumb, and don’t disclose the issues that they have. Caring about Land Cruisers and the people that drive them so much, It makes me sick to my stomach.

So, I’m going to be 100% honest about this vehicle, as I am all of them, and hopefully we can find a new home for it at a fair price for both parties.  This Fj40 is far better mechanically than lots of them that I’ve seen in the same situation. I think it would be a great “townie” vehicle for somebody or maybe a mountain Cruiser. It is a legendary FJ40 after all!

The Land Cruiser is located at the shop and is available for inspection and test drive by appointment. Please call for price and any other details.
