SOLD-Want to trade DD Project 55 for Decent 60
SOLD/TRADED
I have a 76 FJ55 That I conservatively estimate is worth $4500.
I want to trade for a decent fj60, body can be marginal if there is
no/little rust.
First the Bads on the Pig:
Body rust: front lowers, rear wheel wells, rear quarters, driver floorpan
bondo: rear tailgate (have spare gate with motor & scissors) front lowers
rear: sill and gate fit off a bit
headliner: ripped in small spots & stretched
interior: general wear some rips
windshield: cracked (all other glass intact & spare glass ((not front))
The Goods:
Shackle Reversal front
5" overall lift w/Bilstein 5150's
Engine:
76 2F
Completely rebuilt with the best of everything
New Pistons 30 (.75) over-speed pro rings
New Connecting Rods-Rod Bearings (nothing over 3/1000ths varience)
New MAF RV Cam-New cam bearings
Turned & Balanced Crank-New Mains (nothing over 3/1000ths varience)
New Lifters
New Oil Pump
New Timing Cogs
Head Job-valve guides-Chris Schumer Medium performance valve springs
(not to stiff not to soft)
head and block both milled slightly for fit and compression
DUI mechanical advance Dizzy curved for the cam
LiveWires (Camo)
MAF 6into1 Header copper wrapped
Offy Dual Port manifold
1" Phenolic Spiral bore spacer
Edelbrock 500cfm 4bbl Performer Carb-4x4 mods, needles
K&N Air and Oil
Oil Cooler Sleeve (Spectre)
all painted with hi-temp ceramic
fresh dog ear mounts and motor mounts
CCOT aftermarket clutchfan waterpump
New Fuelpump
Heat Shrouded fuel line
basically....everything
....about $8000 later
So its a good start, it just needs more time than I can give
it and would be an amazing opportunity for someone to have
a bad-ass Pig.
I see someone who has a couple cruisers, who has an "ole reliable"
but unused fj60 sitting around, who really needs a 55, getting a really
good starting point on this rig.
It needs to go to someone who can save it before its too late body-wise
The motor is the real deal and everything else is pretty complete
I have many spare parts from inside stuff to another 4spd.
I see it as a $4500-$5000 trade vs. the value of a semi-nice reliable 60
Will post pix tomorrow when I'm back to work after Labor Day
I'm in Durango, Colorado
PM or post to contact
