Harsch referred this to me, he declined on it Josh and me went to Ennis to get her, motor locked up in 89 after dunking it in water, been sitting under a tree since.......showing 65k which I bet is accurate.......no rust holes minor surface ony, nice color and interior looks as if it will clean without repaint......needs motor and the right seats in the front, and a front bumper along with all the bumper brackets........

I just got my first Square bezel FJ40, and have the urge to shop at Bed bath and beyond and listen to Liza Minnelli & Elton John.................

Nice find! Let me guess, you paid $300 for it ?

On a serious note, is that 653? I thought it was only offered through '77. Looks great.

I paid a bit more than that,

653 ? paint code? I have no idea, but this is the factory color, it is this color all over.....

Butch, I don't see you ever giving up Barry Manilow for Liza and Elton.

Good score BTW.

Nice rig. Would much rather deal with an engine swap than a tub repair.

A motor swap is a weekend project... Tub repair can take years.

Yup. Purty.

Buffing the paint made it look like a different cruiser.
