I am getting ready to leave for yet another deployment and have decided that it is not fair to my baby (my landcruiser) to let her sit any longer. Need some advice on the best way to sell my 70 FJ40 (methods, fair prices, etc)

It is stock with the usual rust (rear quarter, running boards, ect) Stock straight engine, three speed on column, etc. I believe that I am the third owner and it ran well before but continued deployments and time stationed over seas have taken some toll. I just rebuilt the front end (brake shoes, seals, inner bearings, brake cylinders, and tie rods) but there is still more to do (was just getting to the engine work). I have run out of time before deploying and I have not adjusted the new brake cylinders.

I have an extra transmission and a few other assorted small parts (instrument cluster, gear shifter, new shocks, etc). I also have the original Braden winch (9000lbs) that came with it that needs to be assembled.

I have a friend that will be helping me put it on ebay and sell it in a few days. I would love to see it go to a FJ40 enthusiast. Anyone out there interested? Any advice?

Thanks

Brian

Pictures would help, Seems like EBay does well if they are in nice condition otherwise it is iffy, depends on local bidders, not worth shipping a real fixer upper, but sometimes if several local people want them they go for more then I expected, but often lately go for pretty cheap. Being near I95 will help expand the number of people willing to come and get it.

Here on Mud and CL good to just need to set a price.

How much are you hoping to get that with some pictures will help with recommendations.
 
Actually try posting this in NC forum here on 'Mud - more details + pics will generate good responses and maybe some interest.
 
Sorry for the delay on feedback. I've already left out but I have a buddy taking care of it till it sells.

I'm looking for $3000 OBO (I know it is a rough time to sell a project rig. Here is the quick and dirty on it. Let me know if there are any questions. I will try and get my buddy to take some pics for me.

Details
Make: Toyota
Model: Landcruiser (FJ40)
Color: original off white

History:
Believe that I am the second owner. I bought it in 1996 in Raleigh NC. At that time I rebuilt the master cylinder and put in a full cage. It was in storage for about 2 years in South Carolina. I moved it to Alaska in 1999 and drove it up there till 2001. I moved it to Greensboro NC where it sat in storage (pole barn) until 2007. I have started it since then but have not done any prolonged driving. I moved it to Fayetteville NC where I replaced the front brake cylinders, brake pads, seals, and inner bearings.

Issues I think it may have:
Some rust in the usual places (rear quarter and running boards). A few things are left to be dome after the front end rebuild (check leak on rt front, bleed brakes and adust). My next thing to do was go through the engine and check it out (carb may need a rebuild). The shifter on the column can be tricky. There is an extra one I got on ebay inside. There are a lot of things that can be done which always frustrated me on where to start (rust, engine, interior, etc). Bottom line it is a project rig and there are quite a few things to do before it is back on the road.

Extras
manuals, bikini top, transmission, instrument cluster, shifter, a few other odd and end small parts, the original Braden winch is disassembled in a box
