eBay 74 FJ40 -- What's she worth?

Hey, was previously looking at this one in CA but couldn't make a deal and guess we weren't even close. If for no reason other than to educate myself as I look to buy my first FJ, what do you guys think it's worth?

Definitely looks nice from the pics. You can tell they put some good money into getting it there. My opinion..its worth closer to the 14k that it didnt sell for than the 26k hes asking. still needs a bit of work to get it to 26k rig. Like I said...a very nice 40(that needs the bezel flipped) but for me...not worth the money they want. I guess when all is said and done though..its worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Where to begin with this?? You would have to be NUTS to spend $26k on this rig!! Carpeted dash pad and visors? Seriously?? Some kind of patch (to cover a larger than needed hole I'm sure) in the tranny hump, missing the rear corner markers, FRESHLY PAINTED and there's rust already showing through, bezel is on upside down, no headliner, ugly a$$ rear fender flares, etc, etc.

Don't get me wrong, it's a nice rig but no where near a $26k rig. I would think more in the $10k-$12k range. But as jp points out, it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay. Keep looking. There are several nice rigs for sale here on MUD. Check the classifieds.

love the flares! and the bolt-on disc brakes.


nice looking rig and all, but $26K?! come awn. you can buy a late ( 81-84 ) fj40 for that in the same condition. and then you'd have something that's actualy worth something.

Come on Georg, those flares are bad ass. You ought reproduce those and make bank. Very original. That truck isn't worth 1/2 what they are asking.
