1962 FJ40 / EXTREMELY RARE FULL RESTORATION. This cruiser sat in a Steamboat Springs, Colorado barn for 44 years with busted flywheel teeth and a busted column shifter from 1968 to 2012 . It was purchased in August 2012, pulled it out of the barn, shipped it to  California for a full frame off restoration. This Land Cruiser had 99% of all its original parts from the factory, NO cancer rust, No dents and just over 44k miles on it. It was able to restored back to 100% STOCK. Finding even 1% of the UNOBTAINIUM was a chore in itself, sometimes taking weeks to locate simple items in order to keep it period correct. A company was hired to build me a new period correct battery from 1962.  Even the original 52 year old hose clamps were restored. From our estimation there have only been perhaps 2 other 1962 FJ40 hardtops that have been restored to factory specs. Toyota brought in approx. 500 to the United States. We have been able to track down only about 27 still on the road. 1961 – 1962 was the FIRST TIME Toyota built the classic beloved FJ40 Land Cruiser. Things changed after 1962 making this cruiser extremely rare.The paint was even taken back to the original Factory color (Lily White T-403) and is exactly the same as it would have been rolling off the line in 1962
