    For Sale  Florida: 1991 3FE 170k miles

    Have a 3FE sitting on a stand I don't need. I am keeping the PS pump, alt, distributor as spares but if that's a deal breaker I can include them for a bit extra. Came out of a 1991 with ~170k on it. Have not done any compression test or anything and don't have a spare starter. If you bring your...

    Well, just to provide some closure to the thread before I abandon it: The Pickup turned into a much more fun and involved build than expected (just finished a 2rz swap), and there was no real need space for two rusty, no-AC trucks, so I sold the 62 and bought this: 1991, 170k miles, FJ80 w/...

    The now-titled 62 continues to gather dust, but I am wrapping up the SAS on the pickup. Toyota rears up front, Ford springs out back:

    1978! I bought it with body damage and some rust, the important parts of which have been taken care of. It's got an 5.3/T56 sitting in it, just have to do the exhaust, driveshaft, a better trans mount... It's getting there.

    It worked! I now have a squeaky clean Florida title in my hand for the cruiser. Haven't done much on it other than clean it out and take stock of everything. Been busy with the 280z and preparing for the SAS on the pickup.

    Makes sense. Thankfully I am not planning on actually using these plates, I can use the registration to transfer it into Florida and receive a Florida title for the vehicle. Just waiting on the official registration papers. In other words, just a loophole to get a Florida title since I bought...

    Great news: Just waiting on the registration papers now. In other news, picked this up for the pickup:

    A happy little update: Vermont cashed my check for $538, which I assume means the registration was successful.

    Indeed, the idea is that once you have a Vermont registration for the 15+ year old vehicle you can then apply to transfer the registration to your home state (in my case Florida), who is obliged to provide you with a title. I am waiting to see if they cash my check, I was told that is the...

    Thanks! Gotcha, my only exposure to the NV was having to break the news to someone that the "T56" they bought on Craigslist was an NV. If I can find one locally for a good price...

    That's the plan. Was piecing together parts for an SAS on the pickup, but this thing will probably jump to the front of the line. Just finished up patching the roof rust on the pickup, and am shopping around for an engine/trans for the FJ. I have an aluminum block LM4 but that is ostensibly for...

    Not much going on today, but I bought two budget tires for the rear so it looks less derelict and can be rolled around more easily. Looks a bit more like a car now: Probably not going to do anything other than some basic cleaning of the interior and taking stock of what parts are strewn...

    The Vermont title application is in the mail. Managed to roll up the passenger window, appears to just be the switch, motor worked fine. Bought some cheap rear tires so it can roll, should have them on this evening. Crawled around underneath and did not find anything shocking or any impetus for...

    That's exactly what I am doing, glad to hear someone here suggest it. Until last night I thought it was only for bikes since that's how I had originally encountered it. I have all the paperwork ready, going to mail it out today and wait patiently.
