Unless you live in the Middle East and are persistent and patient. I will have about 20 in mine when I get it home...not counting the boxes of “just in case spare parts“. Also it really needs nothing at this point which is more than I can say for my ‘77 pig.

True dat. Ad is gone. Looks like it's sold already. Gotta move fast on these things.

I have a few extra bodies if anyone is looking for new stateside HZJ79s. I'm building one now on an FZJ80 chassis. I have (1) extra FZJ80 chassis with 183K on the ticker, runs and drives well.
