$3,000 obo in Cleveland, Ga. You can't get these on the East Coast in this shape!

Trades considered as long as it's not another car! Need this one out of my sister's garage.


I put this for sale once before in the summer, but wasn't to proactive on selling it. I don't really want to see it go, but it's unrealistic to have as many cars as I have. Being that I am home only every few months, I just don't get the chance to drive them. I need to narrow the fleet and keep only the FJ60 and the FJ62 I'm in the process of buying.


It's a 97% rust free car from Northern Cali. After I got back in from Japan in November I bought the car and drove it back to Georgia. Runs great. No problems. Invested around $1500 after I bought the car. Fixed dash where it leaked water like all Squarebacks. Just needed to have vents cleaned out for the defrost. Currently the speedometer doesn't work. I think the guage went out. If you can find another one I'll hook it up before you get it. The only rust is the battery tray and back floor boards. I just put a Bosh 009 Distributor with electronic ignition on it. I also put a solid rocker arm kit in. Fresh valve adjustment. New plugs, New fuel pump. Heads tightened. New brake lines and wheel cylinders. Awesome car!! Must see and drive. New Tires with about 2000 miles on them. Had paint put on it a few years back, but still looks good. Interior needs work. Headliner is torn, and I pretty much ripped the interior out. I'll lose money on this car. Could be finished cheap and sold for more. I was told it had 90 or 90.5 mm pistons in it. So that makes it around a 1776. Located in Cleveland, GA 30528. I put new quad tip exhaust on it, and found some original heater channels out in New Mexico. I had them shipped to my house and installed them, but didn't hook up the cable to operate from inside b/c it was summer. It should have a hell of a defrost and heater now. It used to burn my feet, and that was when it only had one side working. Oh, it's four speed manual, with a strong clutch and smooth shift.

Great car. Great memories. I had one in the '80's when I was in So Cal. Now I am near you (sort of) in Augusta, GA.

Would like to buy it, but I am still looking for a locked 80 or maybe a '85 4Runner/PU due to gas prices.
My old '67 squareback got 30 mpg easily. Paid $500 for it back then.
Jeeze.
 
It really is a great little car. You get so many looks in it too. I can't stop to get gas or do anything without people coming up to me and either asking me what it is, or telling me how they used to have one too. I also have my mini truck listed on here in the for sale section. Check it out. It's a 1980, very nice.
 
Lol - I just ran across this nearly 20 years later as I am shopping for a type 3 for a resto mod. What a steal!
Still available? :lol: :lol: :lol:
