I am selling this extremely low mileage 1979 FJ40 Land Cruiser beauty which is in pristine condition. I first saw this
immaculate truck in 1996 in Runnemede, NJ in response to a classified ad.  I took it for a test drive that afternoon and it
was love a first sight. It had only 28,000 miles on it and looked factory new and drove like a new truck. The owner said
he bought it from the original owner who had it in storage. I went home to get an ok from the boss and phoned the owner
that night only to be informed that he had just sold it. Needless to say, he broke my heart. I continued my search for another
cream puff FJ40 in the Philadelphia & New Jersey region but FJ40's are scarce in this area. I finally responded to a
Philadelphia newspaper classified ad in 1998 for a 1979 that turned out to the one I tried to buy in 1996. It now had
32,500 miles and still in the same immaculate condition as when I first saw it two years earlier. I  bought it on the spot
and since have had many happy years with this awesome truck.

Sadly to say, I must sell my faithful and beautiful FJ40. I have recently retired and in the process of selling our much too
large home and we are going to downsize to a condo. My truck has only about 37,500 miles on it now. I only put about
5,000 miles on it over the past (15) years due to a demanding international traveling schedule. This truck has been spoiled
and always maintained with frequent oil changes and coolant changes even though it had low miles. It has always been
garage kept and has never seen a night outside. After rain, it was always wiped dry. This FJ40 is truly a "Garage Queen".

The exterior and interior paint (031) is in immaculate condition. I was told by the second owner that the paint was original as
was the brown striping which was dealer applied. There are no dents, dings, chips, scratches or rust. The truck has
ambulance doors with a factory swing out spare tire rack. The fiberglass reinforced steel hardtop is removable. All doors
are in mint condition with mechanically perfect operating windows and locks. Steps are in mint condition. All glass is clear
with no chips or cracks. All metal Toyota emblems are intact and in excellent condition. The interior paint (031) is in
excellent condition. There is a factory roll bar along with (2) opposing fold down seats. Head liner is white and in excellent
condition. All seats are vinyl and grey and equipped with seat belts. Door panels are matching grey. Door panels and
seats are in mint condition except for some slight fraying on the driver seat bottom about 2" long.. The dash board is black
and in mint condition with no cracks or fading. Front black Toyota floor mats are in excellent condition. The front heater and
blower along with rear floor heater work great in the cold weather and operate perfectly. Rubber boots for transmission and
t-case floor shifts are in excellent condition. All gauges, speedometer, odometer are in perfect condition with wipers that
always park properly. The cab is perfectly tight with no air or water leaks.

The 2F (4.2 L, in-line 6) is strong and in excellent condition. A new catalytic converter and exhaust piping was installed
this past summer. I have never registered this truck in New Jersey as an antique vehicle, therefore, it was always subject
to New Jersey's strict emission standards during bi-annual inspections. It always met the standards and I have copies of
all the inspection results. The brakes and e-brake are strong and there is no squeaking, squealing or pulling. The engine
compartment is exceptionally clean. The hood and its latches are in excellent condition.

Tires are GoodYear P235-75R-15 (90%+) tread that are mounted on the original steel wheels with original chrome hub
caps. The wheels original grey color was replaced with a dark brown color to match the exterior striping. The swing out
spare tire rack has a never used spare matching tire. The truck has black fender flares and a locking fuel access door.
Also, the original Toyota jack kit and repair tool bag are included.
