For Sale 1973

I want to buy an 80 series so I can build it up to take my kid off roading and longer trips. I have a 1973 FJ40 with original engine. It has a SM420 transmission and original transfer case. It has ARB lockers front and rear. No power steering or disc brakes. It has a sky jack suspension and full roll bar. 35 in tires. PRP seats front and PRP bench in the back. I have a hard top but it has rust. No doors or back door. The FJ40 has rust in a small portion of the front fenders. And surface rust in the interior. Nothing major. I am probably in the wrong forum but I need help on pricing it. Don't know how much I can ask for it. Maybe somebody here can help. Trying to buy a cheap FJ80 so I can put suspension tires and bumpers. Thanks.

Well for starters your bezel is upside down

And some pictures of the rust would be helpful.

Cheers!

It has surface rust in the interior panels. The driver seat floor is the worst like the picture shows.

Well honestly I thougt that you'd get a lot more feedback on this.

So there's a 1969 on CL right now in LA, same color and very similar condition that has been listed for months at $6,500 and still hasn't sold. So I'd say that your upper limit is somewhere near that.

Is that original paint on your rig?

That's Los Angeles not Louisiana. Just to clarify.

Yes it is. Thanks for the info
