How much are these things going for these days. Haven’t put a mile on it since I posted.

I still have it

I’m not quite retired yet but closer to it. Starting to pull together some cruisers I’ve collected In Missouri and bring them home. I’d like to build a daily driver old man comfort FJ40. Parts collected: 1970, 1970, 1972 fj40, 1987 fj60, h55f 5 speed trans. Using 2f and axles from 87 fj60 Using...

Pulling this 60 out of the pile and into the garage next door. Rust bucket, but she runs good. I’ll be pulling the engine and the axles and mating them up to a 1970 fj40 frame. Excited to have time again to wrench.

It was at 22,000 before the bidding started. If I was local I might have picked this up. It doesn't look like it was too terribly damaged but looks can be deceiving

It had been about 10 months since I drove it. Drove it 45 Minutes to my house with 0 issues. Drives like a truck. Since it had been in the barn for 10 months... out of sight out of mind, I have begun to take inventory of some things it needs. Hood Cable, while it works, it's frayed, I might...

Not really wanting to separate, but if I must $15,000
