WANTED: FJ40 in NC

diggity · 04-05-08, 02:11 PM

HI all,

Posted this in the classifieds as well...still looking.

Looking for the following:

Price range 5-9k
- 1975 - 1983 FJ40 with 2F and 4speed.
- should have hardtop with ambi doors (but can overlook that if clean).
- body tub should be with minimal rust or minimal surface rust (dont mind doing some body work, just dont want to jump in heavy right away).
- should run pretty good and most guages/lights should work.
- if it does not run, body and interior should be exceptionally clean.

Been looking hard for a while, and either it is rusted pretty bad, out of my $ range or the owner does not want to sell or ship.

Already checking the most common places.

Any pointers appreciated. I know, I know...keep dreaming...Anyway, I am serious about buying.

Alright - let em fly guys.

yo diggity.... have you considered looking out of state (ie west)? there have been some real nice deals from 55-8500 and then just consider up to 1000 dollars shipping insured on open carrier. Kinda takes the test drive aspect out of it, but you could always ask a local mudder to look at it if you were comfortable buying on their opinion.

Hi jfz80 - thanks for the response, I have been searching crazedlist all over out west etc. still looking for the right one, shipping does not bother me and I would buy based on the opinion of someone on MUD and some really good pictures and conversation with the owner.

Still looking though, so if you guys see or hear of anything, let me know.

Thanks again
