Found a 1972 fj55 it’s pretty solid and definitely original, original Runs and drives . It’s a bit sun burnt from the sun. Not sure of mileage. The question is what is it worth I honestly don’t know .

Why part out?
No title?
Looks good enough to be kept intact and sold complete.

Not parting out . It has solid floors , patina . Faded paint . Just wondering what it’s worth give or take as is . I’m a 40 guy but this pig being all original is interesting.

That thing is sweet!

I’ll stick my neck out here if running I’d give $7500 easily. I think worth more than that, not sure what would be lurking in that body.

I’m just wondering I have looked at many landcruisers this looks solid , it runs and drives . The rear end bumper needs bent back .and other small ends . Do you know the name of this litigation green colour.

The floors are solid back to front . I guess it’s worth around $7500 like mentioned above .

Faded Nebula Green ? I not sure I'd part with $7,500 for it either. I wouldn't use the word "solid" describing the body rust, I'm betting there's plenty of hidden rust there.

There always is

I mean solid compared to most of them it’s 51 years old . It’s not my truck it’s a old ladies she’s trying to figure out what it’s worth . I have only seen 4 others and they are long gone rusted in ground . I think the colour is nice . I like how all fj55 had a cool colour combo .

$7500 is what I'd ask for it.

The fender repair probably means it's rusted out there, but they all are.

Runs, drives and title sounds like a good time for someone.

With the dented roof, patches riveted over the rockers and what appears to be patches over the front fenders, there is definitely a lot of rust at play here. Lift up the floor mat and post some pictures of the floor pans. I'm guessing the front body mounts are probably rusty too.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but this is $4500-5000 max if it was running and driving.

If it runs/drives can you check some mechanicals/electrical like the tail gate window, flashers, blinkers, brakes, clutch, dome light, gauges, dash uncut and complete..., wiring loom complete? how's the frame look? an original good radiator and gas tank are golden..
crawl underneath and look...
completeness = $$$'s..
original = $$$'s
rust is a distractor but most have issues....
agree w the 4-5k guesstimate... hidden issues..
but I like saving them so the rust is like a given...

Who wants to wager that rust will be in the front floor pans and in the passenger seat footwell where the transition is to the upper floorboard where the seat is mounted.

Cargo floor will be spotless.
