For Sale 1973 FJ 40 - Charleston

Location

United States

I am a frequent lurker on the site and absolute amateur when it comes to cruisers... but have been in love with them for a long time. I've learned a lot by just reading comments in the classifieds (haven't ventured into other forums yet).

I was curious to get some opinions on the following 40 since she's in my backyard. Obviously pictures can only tell so much but wanted to get some opinions on the post. Rust in pan/body too severe? Rear fender mod a red flag for more rust back there?

Obviously plan to take a look in person soon but thought I'd try and solicit some advice ahead of that look.

Thanks in advance for the help to a rookie.

Looks like a lot of work. If you're patient you can find a relatively rust free rig for $10k give or take. IMO, $3-4K is all it's worth.

If it was me I would look for something with a 2f and 4sp tranny.

I agree with flat lander. For 9k you can do a lot better. Plus the bezel issue.....

I thought the bezel would come up within 2 comments

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm in agreement that I've seen better trucks for the money. I was going to say $6K to be generous. I'd also agree with lander - 2F and 4 speed. I am beginning to think there are more bezels upside down than right side up!
