Howdy all. I am helping a family friend sell his 1978 FJ55 Piggy. He is 17 and this is the first rebuild/project vehicle for him, but after a year and a half (as well as an accident), he is ready to move into something a little more manageable for his lifestyle as a working student. He and the vehicle are in the Portland Metropolitan area.
The details and pictures are below. I know he would like to sell the entire vehicle as one package, but if it needs to turn into a parts project to recoup some of his losses, it will be part of the learning process for him as well. I will be helping him with communications through the forum, but if you want to talk with him over the phone feel free to PM me and I will get you all connected. Thanks fellow mudders!
1978 FJ55 Land Cruiser
127,000 original miles
GM 350 Crate motor v8 swap with 4 speed automatic.
Power steering was added as well.
Air conditioning.
Original stereo.
2 inch body lift.
OEM everything (turn signals stop lights etc.) except front bumper and wheels.
Runs drives has passed omissions test.
Accident Description
Part of the reason I am selling is because I slid in the recent ice storm and hit a tree. Damage done to the front right fender. As a result it tweaked the frame, but all doors, glass and seals are in tact.
The accident in no way damaged the interior, headliner is in perfect condition. Door cards and door hardware in are perfect condition. All doors open and close. Couple of cracks in the dash cover. Glove box in good condition. Controls all OEM work perfect.
Comparable vehicles this year have sold between $10,500-13,000 depending on overall condition. I am respectfully asking $8500 for the entire vehicle, as I would prefer not to part it out.
Please PM if you want to talk over the phone, otherwise I will be happy to answer any questions here on the classified section.
Thank you all for your time,
Sean
