SOLD...I am listing this for my dad. He has a 73 FJ40 that is tiltled as a 1978 Fj40 because the frame and engine are from 78, but the body and interior are 1973. Here is a list of what has been done:
Professionally rebuilt 2F
NV4500 tranny new when installed
3 speed T-case
BDS 4" lift
33X9.5X15 BFG Mud terrains on factory steel wheels(tires near new)
1978 disk front axle
All rusted body panels replaced with new steel
restored factory interior(1973 split bench interior)
only a couple thousand miles since restoration
All that is left to finish is a paint job. Offenhauser 4 BBL intake and mini truck power steering plate included(still has manual steering).Many other random cruiser parts(F motor, 3 spd T-case, etc.) included if wanted. Located in Sprinfield, SD. You can PM me or call my dad (605-661-9532). I can send more pics to serious inquiries. $8500 firm.

I believe it is the super granny. I think that is why he installed it.
 
Let me know if this is a good price or not. I know he has well over 10K invested into it....but not sure what a 40 like this goes for any more. He my be willing to trade for a nice 80 also. Very close to being a finished killer 40 (with granny and overdrive).
 
I would think it would be in the 5-7k range. The market stinks.
 
Wait till mid Feb (tax season) to relist this...without paint its probably an $8K rig. However money talks and BS walks. Get offers and if he doesn't want to part with it he doesn't have to. Any reason he is not going to paint it?
 
I know it would sell easier if it was painted, but he doesnt have the money to stick into a paintjob right now. I guess this means a prospective buyer could paint it whatever color they wanted. I dont think he is in dire need to sell it....just was toying with the idea to pay off some bills. If he becomes motivated, he may lower the price. Thanks for the input.
 
Is this in Springfield SD, I may be in Yankton this week and would like to see this truck, Larry

Bump.....He is willing to trade for a nice locked 80 also.
