c. 1978 Toyota FJ 40

from Reid Cunningham: I came across this in Franklin NH.  It's looks to be a rolling restoration, the  paint fresh and the details a work in progress.  My Great Aunt Peg drove a red FJ with a white hardtop.  When we visited her in Center County PA she would take us up up the dirt roads that cut through the mountains to remote fields she knew for berry-picking.  She had grown up very poor and had become a teacher at a one room school house to make some money for the extended family.  She could cook up a storm all from memory, kept a big garden for years, canned, made jam, made her own clothes. A marriage late in life brought her some security and a husband who bought her the Toyota.  She called her manual shift FJ "Bruiser".  

AL: here's another FJ40 posted form Coloradoa while back.
