1972 Fj55 in original paint with 86000 original miles.
I have done the following since I bought it:
Titled in my name
Sandblasted and painted wheels
Installed some good tires
Fires right up and yard drives
Repaired drivers door hinge
Rust repaired fenders
Repaired rear window to fully operate
Cleaned up wiring terminals and made sure everything works
Found original wiper arms and blades

I intended on keeping it as a original paint survivor and bought a parts Fj55 And used original metal for rust repair, when I could.

Exhaust is completely new.

 

[Ben edwards]

New brakes including:
Wheel cylinders
Pads
Master cylinder
Hoses
Drums
I have adjusted, driven and adjusted again. The brakes are working well and and there are no issues with pulling. I would consider the 55 a good driver and a classic to tinker on and enjoy.
I am asking $12k or offer.
Thanks

Yes, it was a CL find, but also ended up being on consignment at a local landcruiser shop. Nice 2 owner fj60 and in my area ... had to have it.

Nice! Good purchase.
I direceted to a potential buyer when I saw it. He missed out.
Good job

The fj55 is staying in North Idaho and the new owner is a long time landcruiser owner.
We made a deal and in the end I ended up with a California desert, rust free, low mileage 1969 fj40.
I will be attacking the primer and trying to uncover original paint.
Thanks for all the interest and positive comments!
