I know that SCD readers are more into classic sports cars than classic 4x4s, but sometimes a vehicle with so much curb appeal comes around that I can’t help myself but to share it.
Take this ’69 FJ40, which has had a frame-up restoration done. Originally starting life as an Arizona Fj40, it now resides in California as one of the best examples of a restomod’d FJ40 you’ll find anywhere.
I’ve got some of my highlights below, but check it out at LCNation.com for more details.
Key Highlights
- This vehicle was chosen because its chassis was solid, with no rust-through the frame. The entire frame was powder coated prior to the build beginning.
- A five-year body-off restoration/modification began in 2013 and was 95% completed by 2018 (now complete). Includes some modern touches, such as a third brake light and upgraded wiring in the engine bay.
- Premium fasteners and hardware used throughout
- A Chevrolet 350 V8 and 700R4 automatic transmission were installed
- The original winch was rebuilt!
- Original hard to find items, such as the emblems and key slot covers, are retained
- Period-correct interior updates, including roof headliner and interior lighting, with an upgraded front seats (with a heated drivers seat!)
- Tow ready – use your classic FJ40 to bring your classic Porsche to the track 😉
- All restoration records/receipts, including build photos
