It's been on eBay before.

This truck came from San Jose. It was on Craigslist. Darn nice looking rig but a few minor boo boo's, they painted right over the windshield frame hardware, License plate light covers should be pewter, dashpad has a little bite out of it, bedliner, funky retro non OEM radio, speakers in doors, headrests missing, no antenna, cloth front seats, wheels are pewter rather than gray. Not quite like stepping back to 1976 but nothing I couldn't live with. I'll bet it brings mid to high 20's!

Haven't seen it on eBay before. Always bothers me / sends up red flags when such an "amazing/rare/original/time capsule"
cruiser only has a few sentence description too.

How do the odometer digits become so misaligned?

Not a bad looking rig at all. Definitely not 100% original, but nice.

Trailer hitch is also kinda funky, and the underhood wiring appears to have had a few mods. Still a nice truck, though the price will probably have me shaking my head with amazement when it finishes (now at $16k and not meeting reserve)

About two weeks ago, this FJ40 was on Craigslist for $15k for a number of days.
