Guys,
The 55's are the coolest Cruisers of them all. I just purchased my first Cruiser an 80's series, haven't even picked it up yet, but a 55 will be my next one. Great Rides....

Nuclear,
Yes I thought of that one too. Hey it has already been done, can't remember but there is a site where they do that on a regular basis. Have the Classic body, with the Super 80's mechanical stuff. What a combo..............

Owner for 10 years. Much admired by friends, neighbors, big dogs and small children. Takes me everywhere. Gets a cameo in all my short films.
Owner: Elyse Couvillion
Year: 1973
VIN: FJ5532730
Email: ecouv@yahoo.com
Mods: New engine after 250k, work done by Richard Kirkpatrick at K&H Import Repair, LC specialists in LA area who I recommend highly. Repainted in '99 by Northwestern Services in Petaluma CA, excellent paint job and body work, but no match for the cancer. Saving up for much needed chemo and a new roof. Everything else stock, except for SOR roof rack.
Resides in: Los Angeles
(when not shooting stills or short films in the desert)

Thank you rush55!
Say, you wouldn't know of any fine, fat-free roofs for sale out in your neck of the woods? AZ air is so good for pigs.
PM me if you happen to know of any - I have a shout-out going in the classi section too.

Not where I'm at. Mine is one of about 6 or 7 in the whole Verde Valley that I know of. There may be one down in a Phoenix bone yard or back yard being used as parts.

Just posted in the other forum too - I'm so confused.
Here is my '72 that I just got on Friday. It lives in AZ, no major mods (other than 2F and 4 speed) and nothing too much planned other than to get it running while I work on my FJ40 and restore my FJ45.
VIN - FJ5523452.
I'll need a lot of parts!!!
Brian
