eBay 1971 FJ40 TLC Icon

Well, it's definitely not mine...but here's the link on eBay :

Toyota : FJ Cruiser | eBay

I must say I'm disappointed seeing an Icon up on eBay that has rust on almost every metal surface under the frame- suspension and all the metal fasteners in the engine compartment are rusty....even the master cylinder looks rusty.

Is my Mac screen playing tricks on me, or is it really rust?

Anyways....for 100K you can almost buy a new one!

is it worth the price (I don't know) it probably looses most of its value once it leaves TLC. but I do know that all the coatings the "left coast" land cruiser companies put on there vehicles that are supposedly "rust Proof" never I mean never are.having a cruiser on the New England coast means you got to do your rust proofing right. SOR stuff seems to be the worst but I have had 4 plus stuff from Man-a-fre flash rust in a month. so the flash rust is normal and should be done about properly prepared metal epoxy primed then top coasted would be best but an oil based environmentally friendly under coasting would work as well. I tend to shop for all my paints and coatings are west Marine figure if it can keep rust off something that lives int he salt water it should help keep it off my cruiser

4 or 5 summers cruising up and down the beach in the Hamptons will put a fair bit of rust on anything.

I have seen 2 ICONs sell for mid 60s with 0 rust. I think 100k is pretty optimistic.

Yeah, but Billy Joel used to own it!

This Icon has been floating around ebay and CL for some time now.

I have not seen many Icons for sale in the past so it is hard to figure and actual value. I guess that it is worth whatever someone is willing to pay.

For a leaf sprung one 100K is nuts... You can get a 4 corner coil/coilover version for just a little more (relative).
