Location

United States

SOLD!!!! Up for sale is a 1985 Toyota FJ60 originally Texas/so cal truck until year 2000. Transplanted with a 1995 Chevy LT1 in 1998.This has been my daily driver for over 10 years. 1 previous owner who was a jet propulsion engineer and did the conversion for his wife.
I love this truck it has served me well – there is no better utilitarian truck out there than a 60 - sorry 80's guys-may have to go to therapy when it leaves but I just can't have 3 trucks in my life anymore – bought a real nice 80 and it is very difficult to look at both- the body lines and cool factor of the 60 just crushes the 80 and is roomier – - I had to repost
Thanks for all the cool trade offers guys but if I didn't have trucks, boats and bikes I would be surely keeping this-
$4,700

Thanks for the trade offers-

But I do not have room for more toys in my life-
there is no truck like this anywhere- would rather it not go to Ebay- Put an even faster, newer motor in it for 1,500 if you ever wanted or needed- Hell I've seen BTB conversions that customers paid 12K for ,not including truck , that did not look or drive like this

maybe could use a brake adjust and bleed for a new driver- I've been using it as a daily driver til a few weeks ago- Starts, drives steers better than my 80 and gets you there twice as fast. Every time- Exhaust manifold would make it sound like a brand new Camaro and that comes with it.​

Damn, I'm literally 10 minutes from you. Right over the border in Jersey.

Time to talk the wife lol

Is the rust stoppable and easily repairable, or has it gotten inside the body and seams?

 

[skintunes]

Yes - i have seen horribly rusted cruisers repaired- cut and weld would be the way to go -some work yes - custom or keep it stock w/ patches/traced pieces or combo of wolf steel resto parts which are actually both full rear wheel arch and lower 1/4s-
I've seen em and they are about 550 shipped -both sides (4pcs) If you didn't want to paint - bed liner would be the cheaper route- This is thie route i'm going if I keep it

Not being a dick here, but we agreed to do the deal and then I spent $820 on plane tickets and $191 on insurance, and Gregg backed out of the deal this morning, leaving me out $1000 of lost money. I'm sure he is a great person, but this really hurt, and I don't know how anyone could do this to somebody else when they are legitimately selling a car. YMMV. I thought we could reach a compromise and I let him know I would draw up any document he wanted to protect himself (my brother is a lawyer), and pay all my cab fare, even PayPal him the money, and he basically said "nope, sorry." It is so painful that I am actually just in shock, can't eat... I filled out all the DMV forms for his state, fax numbers etc... Never seen anything like this. Honestly, at this point I just think it is all tragically funny.

No way, did this really happen?

I am going out on a limb here.......The name Skintunes is a lil suspect!!!

Just walked in from a tragic event of a friend's death to find the end of your movie.
I have no problem selling a piece of the last 12 year's of my life to someone serious , a land cruiserhead who is not going to screw me around. A buyer 1,000 miles away, books airfare for himself and a buddy to NY on a friday nite , holiday weekend , without talking to me in person and drive it home to Florida?? All this in a 4 hour decision on wednesday. At first he asked if it would be ok th drive the truck 1000 miles and then ship my plate back. Now I give everybody respect but this sounded down right shady. I am sure he is a great guy but wouldn't it be cheaper for me to ship it to him if he offered to paypal me the money, fly him and his buddy, pay transfer fees , cab,tolls,DMV charges, gas for a LC for 1000 miles and hotels/food??? I have to get out of town Sat morn and tomorrow have a funeral to go to in am. why wouldn't he call me???? my first email i made sure he saw the ad , answered ? about truck and gave him my phone # - offered to pick him up and take 30 miles to DMV and back-
Now i have bought and sold cruisers for nearly 20 years.Bought and sold , 'wheeled and fixed listers trucks here for a long time have been on this list for years- he only showed up hours ago . Did a background check and things didn't come up too clean on him but that is for his side of the story- Still not disregarding him as a good guy- but maybe one to be suspect with- i am no saint either - but truly fair . That said- why wouldn't he discuss, divulge flight itinerary- AND
If he wants to paypal me the money for truck and come get it tomorrow that's fine as well but with holiday traffic and time constraints - arriving in a strange airport 30 miles from DMV with less than 2 hours to spare before the window closes for the next 72 hours is not keen judgement
i could be over-reacting but I have gotten into situations hastily- believe me. i don't want to hurt anyone which is why i let him know within hours after logistics were compiled

And yes Mickey - if you didn't know that I am a professional drummer- skintunes would seem suspect- just like i could care about speculating what the T in your handle means-


at any rate I don't want any of us to lose here- we are compassionate about these trucks and hard working, good people
This a great forum = let's keep it that way
