Not mine, just more of an FYI for any potential buyers. I’m not asking for a pittyfest just more of a heads up.

It’s a great price, but should probably be towed home.

I inspected the vehicle. Did some due diligence prior to flying from Chicago. If anyone is interested in the cruiser the seller seemed to leave out a few key notes below:
-Does have rust along the gutters and there’s bondo
-Needs Alignment
-Brakes are extremely inadequate, pedal sinks to the floor, almost to the point where it’s basically pretty dangerous...

-some blow by (could just need a valve adjustment as CD mentioned)
-typical old 2H oil leaks

Good luck

Also out of state buyers, just Incase your state is strict this truck does not have a 17 digit VIN. Depending on your state it may be tricky getting it registered.

Other things to note I forgot to mention

Alternator/battery light is on
Filter light is on
Tachometer doesn’t work
Oil pressure gauge doesn’t work, but does have an aftermarket gauge.

Another data point for SA trucks.

Depends on the original market. My Middle East 83 has an old 40 series 10 digit VIN.

FWIW the DMV had far less trouble with the 10 digit vin on my 83 FJ40 than they did with the 17 digit vin on my Hilux.

Anytime, I just think there were some things that were left out unintentionally. My recommendation is to try to purchase cruiser from Mud members. Often yields the best results!

Did you call him out on these items that were kinda bad that he didn’t list in the add? Might help to call him out if he’s trying to get over on someone you know? Also thanks for all the info,we are well kept family that look out for one another or at least most on here try to be
