There is a 1988 Red FJ62 I spotted about 6 months ago on FB marketplace and have kept in contact with the
owner, at the time he didn't have the title but has since gotten it. He is the 2nd owner. It's
originally from Cold Spring, NY. It's got 191k on the odometer and the interior is completely
mint, even the headliner. Was having a fuel pump problem but he replaced it and it is running.
I'm planning on heading to look at this within the week because all I've seen is pictures up to this
point. It does have some rust issues around the fender wells on the rear and a small spot on the
drivers front. My few questions are this:
1) I feel like 2,500 is a decent price to get this for.. Am I wrong?
2) Beyond the wheel wells, obv I need to scope the frame out, but where would be the hardest hit
places I should check upon seeing it in person?
3) Any other specific area's I should look at besides the rust that seem to be high problem areas?
I've been a long time lurker and am excited about the possibility of finally getting to own one of these
awesome rides. Any other advice, etc from you veteran owners/mechanics out there?
Thanks!
