Just made a post a few minutes ago in the FJ40 section, moved over here thanks to the help of members.
Here is a rig I just made a deal for:
Its a 1964 and has been sitting for at least 25 years. Head gasket blew back in the 80's and he parked it. Now its mine I will pick it up...

Thanks to the members here I have corrected myself, it is a 1964 FJ45LV and the above thread is it posted in the correct category.
Its a 5th rig for me and purely a toy.
I really just grabbed it because of the cool factor. It looks much meaner in person. Also I know the parts used in this thing and if worst came to worse I could strip it and make my money plus some back. There is also always 8500lbs of steel to recycle...
Would REALLY like to trade this for a toyota 4wd truck. Will entertain other offers but thats what I'm going to buy once this sells. If I dont end up trading this or selling them I'm probably going to be parting it out. But that will be a last resort and only if it doesnt sell or trade. It would...
Just to give you an idea. Here is a 91 with a TON of new parts that I would take 4k for. If someone came tomarrow I may even take less.
Going the FJ40 route so the FJ80 is sitting.
So the 5k 92 like the others said is overpriced. Hell I have even thought of just parting this thing out, but...
After you take his, I have one in Gilbert you can have too...
If it doesnt get taken, may just take it to scrap, its purdy heavy I recon.
Or something.
I'm no mechanic, but my rig acted like that once and it was a dirty fuel filter.
Only thing that puzzles me about yours though is that it went back to normal...

Check the forum here in the "parting out" section. I picked up a new radiator shroud for cheap because mine was cracked this way. Came in real good shape.
It is 100% essential to proper cooling though.
Please do me a favor and DONT post pictures, or tell stories of how great today was.
I was unable to make it and any enjoyment you all may have taken from this day is unacceptable by me.
I hope it was miserable and ya'll had as boring a day as myself.
Not really, but you can feel my pain...
It is, but many run same oil in all three.
Lucas Syth 75w-90 in all three is what I was saying.
And yea man, saw it today at checker, Mobil 1 75LS 16.99 a QT. I pooped a little.:meh:
Will there be punch and pie?
I was under the impression there would be punch and pie.
If so just let me know when the party is, I will park on his side of street as well.
