Calm. Literally have no idea what these are worth. Throw me a reasonable offer, 99% likely I’ll take it.
Trying to be fair here and not overshoot or undershoot.
My guess is the DMV wont let you register with a dealer plate
Found National Guard plate which may work, if you're into that - 1982 Virginia National Guard License Plate low number | eBay
The plate has to be the year of the car - registration stickers don't matter, but the plate year does.
For example, on my '62 Porsche my plates have 1962 stamped on it - no issues registering at DMV. For my '78 FJ I tried to use some old plates that my parents had from the 90's and the DMV...
I would recommend looking at Easterns.com - they have locations in both MD and VA and will transfer cars to any location for free (for a test drive or for sale) and then will obviously title in MD. They're probably the largest pre-owned dealer in the DC area; I personally work with them from a...

Considering purchasing this '79 FJ, I'm by no means an expert so looking for advice or anything that jumps out as off/incorrect/areas of concern.

Thanks for the response and feedback.
I'm considering purchasing it; looking for advice from experts on anything that looks off/wrong, issues, etc. I'm still somewhat of a novice on FJ's so looking for advice.
