One of my good friends just moved into a new house and I noticed his neighbor had a pretty sweet 79 fj40 in the driveway. We met the neighbor and he mentions that he wants to sell his cruiser because it just doesn't get used much anymore. Here's the pertinent info:
He's the second owner, having bought it in 1982.
The truck is one hundred percent stock, down to the floor mats and original paint and wheels.
There's some slight surface rust on the rear quarter panel and doors, but this is a Arizona truck, no cancerous rust that I can see.
It has everything, hard top, jump seats etc.
He claims only 65,000 ORIGINAL miles.
The truck has always started and run well, again no engine mods or anything.
Everything electrical works fine, blinkers brake lights etc.
Brakes and steers great.
Says that he has always maintained it in good running condition.
No PS, no AC.
The upholstery has some tears, but he bought some replacements from CCOT, but just hasn't installed it yet.
He's asking 8k and I think I'll offer 6k. What do you guys think a rig like this is worth?
