I talked to the seller, he's selling it for his father. Apparently the truck spent its entire life in North Dakota until the last year or so. It's been repainted but no rust. Said his phone's been ringing nonstop from that add!

If you weren’t going to buy it, did you tell him to double the price?

I assume when he said ‘83 was the last year of imports from japan, he had done some reaearch. I can’t imagine you google “1983 FJ40,” and you arrive at a $20,000 price tag.

He said his dad had it valued by a third party for $55k recently but only wanted $24k for it because they needed it gone ASAP. I told him he was leaving a lot of money on the table.

I would be all over but I just picked up an 81 last week. Hope someone on here gets it.

This is a good deal if you’re looking for a V8. Even though it’s an 83 the engine transplant depreciated her considerably. I’d bet money that the odometer is no longer turning other than the tenths. Anytime you see 999 at the end of the odometer reading on a cruiser it’s typically stuck.

How long it’s been that way is the question. Almost looks like a spring over but I can’t tell from the pictures.

I was wondering about the V8 hurting the value. I would guess it would. As for the lift It looks a little odd. Maybe just the tires are too small? If it is spring over that can be changed but again all this hurts value. Either way not bad from what I can see. Anyone see this up close?

Appears sold, ad is down. Not surprised, considering price. Inside looked very nice.

Too good of a deal to pass on, I ended up buying it. Picked it up yesterday.

 

[akrover]

Congratulations! She’s a beauty for sure.

Your the one who bought this. I called and spoke to him about purchasing it. You just beat me to it.

It's kind of funny how it all worked out considering I wasn't even looking for another truck.

I offered the seller money on the spot and was flexible with the fact that it would be at least a couple weeks until we could get a signed title. The seller wasn't too interested in dealing with out-of-state buyers, so that worked in my favor too.

There are no major issues at all just little details that need to be fixed. It will definitely be a long-term project and I hope to own it for a very long time, possibly forever.

I know I was upset about the entire thing. I called him on the phone. Spoke to him about it. Called him back and he said you were there right now looking at it. Sorry. So the guy on the phone while you were looking at it was me. Story of my life always a bit late! If you decide to sell it down the road look me up.

 

[overton]

Your not alone. I was on the phone with him too. Would have bought it if it had not worked out.

You going to sell the 81 now???

No plans for selling any of them. The 81 is a super clean California desert truck with original paint.

I just got lucky and stumbled into two nice trucks. Couldn't turn them down!
