Ask me my opinionabout things on this rig and I will give you very candid answers. We believe the mileage to be correct as the engine runs so super strong, clean and quiet. Pros: There are so many thing that have been left untouched on this cruiser, rear fenders are not cut, dash, steering wheel, front/rear seats, drive train, all 5 rims, steering etc. are original and correct. There is very little, minimal rust and only in the usual places. Frame, body, floors and sheet metal overall is excellent (see photos) A lot of the "brown" color you are looking at inside is old paint. Sometimes digital pics make a car look better than it actually is and sometimes the opposite, it's far better in person. We have the rear jump seats (PO took apart to paint the frames) also have a huge heavy duty auxiliary fuel tank and the skid plate which are included. This FJ40 starts right up, runs and sounds absolutely excellent, no smoke, it shifts, drives etc and stops with a few extra pumps of the pedal (see video) Cons: There are quite a few things that sadly have been touched, changed, modified etc. I assume the front sheet metal was damaged at some point as the front clip (bib, fenders and hood) is blue underneath. The hardtop and doors are clearly not correct but from an earlier 40. Front marker lights, roof vent, roll bar has been shortened (for lack of a better word) with a front cage. Some small plates welded to the rear frame rail, stuff like that. Overall I think this would be an excellent candidate for a full restoration or clean up a few things over the winter and drive it as is next spring. Please ask questions and I will answer them as candidly as possible.

Jim was an honest upstanding individual that communicated 100% throughout the buying process. I took a chance on this large purchase knowing things could have ended up not in my favor. Buying a vehicle that I couldn’t test drive or see was a leap of faith. After several conversations with Jim I felt very confident this purchase was not going to be a mistake. After receiving the vehicle I couldn’t be happier…… better than expected by far!! - 2000 Toyota Land Cruiser I was skeptical at best when I first started interacting with Jim. I frankly found the lack of any negative reviews suspicious. After meeting Jim in person I quickly realized his lack of negative reviews are the result of Jim being that stand up of a guy. Buying a vehicle sight unseen from across the country was a nerve wracking experience, but Jim resolved all my concerns rapidly with his honesty, availability, and patience. Jim is a rare example of professional excellence. Thank you Jim - 2009 Ford E series Van Quigley 4WD I would love to leave a mutli-page review but eBay won't allow it. Jim was an amazing seller, through every step of the process. Especially for me, somebody that has never purchased a vehicle from eBay. I bought the van and drove it across the country immediately. It was awesome. Smooth as butter, and truly a blast. Jim really took care of me during this and made sure the buying process was simple & easy. I trusted him with a lot of the tiny details and he DELIVERRRREEEEDDDDD.
