    Makes sense. I guess I should get it checked out at a 4WD mechanic before I make a final decision.

    Considering buying a '69 FJ40

    Of all the helpful answers, I think I like yours the best for honesty looking at the whole picture. I guess it all boils down to: 1) do I want to fix and sell it or 2): do I want to fix it and keep it and use it for off-roading. Well, I already have a 98 Jeep (sorry to mention that word in this...

    Ouch!, w/o new soft top, mirrors, door hinges, bumpers, shocks, etc.??

    Yes, from what the owner's wife says, I think it started out it's life as a soft top (so that makes sense) the HT was bought subsequently. So if I wanted to fix it up to sell it, is this a likely scenario: I pay 8K for the vehicle, put about 10 to 12K in parts and paint and sell it for 20K...

    Can you translate that for a newbie? How do FST hinges differ from other hinges and what is Vadar light (Like Darth?)

    Talk about markets dropping - I sold my 68 FJ for $1,000 in the 80's. No rust, engine and everything ran well. The only problem was the roof leaked and the steering was so loose it wandered all over the road and I couldn't figure out how to fix it. It looked just like this except it was the...

    It comes with extra Yes, dual tanks and all these extras, the lady's husband passed away and she wants to dump it. I'm thinking most of the extra parts are original after her hubby "beefed" up the drive train after installing the more powerful engine. I've still not seen it in person. I'm...

    Sounds good, person is more of an acquaintance than a friend so I will try $8K. Engine is supposedly 39,000 so fingers crossed.

    Yes, dual tanks. Steering wheel repair, I understand , was in the field with a lot of epoxy. Thanks, I'll check it out and come back with more info.

    Considering buying a '69 FJ40

    I've got a friend that wants to sell the above mentioned vehicle (one owner) for $10,000. There is a chevy 305? with 39,000 mi. There is a lot of rust but it appears surface - lot's of sanding would be involved. A lot of the parts have seen better days: mirrors, shift levers, bumper, steering...
