US$123,200 USD | Sold

  • 4,300cc V-6 (General Motors L35)
  • Sequential Port Fuel Injection
  • 180hp at 4,400rpm
  • 5-speed Manual Transmission (General Motors)
  • Live Axle Suspension
  • Font Disc, Rear Drum Hydraulic Brakes
  • Tom Hanks signed
  • Exciting upgrades to GM L35 V-6 Power
  • Much sought after model

The interior sports a set of power operated Porsche high back seats (the original seats are included). There are center-facing folding seats in the carpeted rear compartment. It has a roof rack and rear-mounted spare. Entertainment comes from a Sony AM-FM-cassette stereo with extra speakers in the rear. Because it's California where even the backcountry and mountains get hot, there is air conditioning to complement the factory heater.

An indication of how carefully and thoroughly the Vortec V-6 conversion was done is that it has been inspected by the California Bureau of Automotive Repair and bears the BAR inspection label under the hood attesting to its required California smog equipment. The exterior is Rustic Green with a white painted roof. The Porsche seats are black while the original front seats and rear folding seats are Toyota grey leatherette. Professionally built and maintained, Tom Hanks' FJ40 is a strong, usable, and good looking truck. Someone who has driven both a stock 2F-engined FJ and this one characterizes it as "completely transformed with the Vortec engine's power and the GM 5-speed."

The interior is lightly used. The paint is sound and presentable. The engine compartment presents well but is ageing and the chassis ... well, the chassis has back country miles on it. In other words, this is a FJ enthusiast's FJ, ready to continue to give loyal, reliable service both around town and off road. Its Tom Hanks history only adds to its appeal.
