New To Me 1973 FJ40

Picked up this 1973 FJ40 a couple months ago. It’s mostly all original. Been wanting to get a classic for a while now and finally decided to pull the trigger. I had a few other American classics on my list but decided on the FJ40.

Very cool. I like the resto-mod look with the OE 4Runner wheels. I see it's a 3-speed. F motor too?

 

Wow, just wow. A red FJ40 is one of my dream vehicles. Tell us more about it.

 

Thanks man! Yeah it has the original 1F motor

Thanks! It's mostly all original. It still has the 1F motor and 3 speed in it. Only thing that I noticed that aren't original is the roll bar and fender flares but then again I'm not really an expert on it (yet). In the future I plan to rebuild the motor, tranny and transfer case to get it all refreshed.

 

Painted the grille bezel with the original Cygnus white color. I didn’t like the gunmetal that the previous owner did.

 

That’s awesome!!

 

Thanks

 

Had to change up the wheels…

 

Took off the roof and put on the half doors while it’s still dry in the PNW…
