Hi- As many of you know I have been searching for a FJ45 for over two years now. I have found some but nothing close to what I wanted. I uncovered a rollover that was being sold as original last year that was very disappointing.
Lately I came upon a new find that I cannot decide on
It is a 1963 FJ45 SWB Fixed top with a rebuilt 350 engine, turbo 350 auto trans, and saginaw PS for $5000 firm. It has the original bezel and a near perfect cab. The cross member is the bed is rusty behind the wheel wells. I don't have photos as I want to be ultra discreet until I pass. Tailgate is very nice and included. Seller needs cash bad but is a nice guy so I won't offer less than $5000.
I have the money but I really wanted a removeable top as Spokane, WA gets warm. But I am starting to question if I can find a removeable top truck that is driveable for $5000 in 2007. I have to search high and low for these and maybe see one a year outside of EBAY.
Please share your thoughts. I don't want to blow my chances.
PS- I have all kinds of part to return this to original Toyota 2f, 4 speed, split case, FJ60 axles front and rear. Newer brake booster.
thanks
Aaron
