I don't see A/C, and that looks like an F motor air cleaner

I've seen that one before.
I think it cam from Oz, and I think they use that air cleaner.
I agree, not easy to see A/C in the photos provided, but I do not think they are scamming...

Yeahhh.....that was my old 55 that I imported and wished I kept. I bought the one I have now cuz I've been jonesin for that one since. It's f-ing amazing. no rot. totally re-done. had AC as I remembered. FUgg. Been kicking myself for a long time over that truck. The guy in AU I bought it from had a friend who owned a bodyshop. They restored it together under the professional supervision. it's the real deal and it's f-ing sweet. I sold it to a teacher in Minnesota I believe for less than what they are asking. I put new tires on it and did the exhaust locally. Someone should buy it.......
I actually hunted for that truck to buy back before I bought the one I have now.
Anyone wanna buy my current FJ55?

my bad, sorry gents
I have to ask - why did you sell it? If you don't want to answer, I won't mind. Just always wonder on ones like these why sell such a sweet rig...
Man, that's beautiful.
I gotta say though, the value of FJ55's has really tanked.
They're asking 7k for a (frame-on) resto '79 with no rust and AC? That makes mine worth next to nothing, and it's what I used to think of as real nice.
I almost hope it's a scam

I imported about 25 trucks from Australia and sold all of them. I'd drive them around and once another one arrived, I'd sell the one I had. I regretted selling that one the second it left my driveway. You'd throw up in your mouth if you knew what I paid for it. The body was so nice I didn't even take it into the woods at the Fall Gathering in NH a few years ago cuz I didn't wanna scratch it.
I regret selling this 55. I also regret selling my old LV who is now owned by Missipboy here on MUD. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
My 55 now is awesome but I hate dealing with the rust repair. The body on this 55 is f-ing mint. No lie.
The owner just contacted me today (the guy I sold it to) so I can get solid answers if anyone has any questions for him.
If you don't buy this, you are as dumb as I am.

Ha, I thought I was linking to the top pic, instead got the whole page!
That thing is a real beauty. If I only had the money, and the wife's permission.
Post up any mods you do. Let me know if you need help finding parts etc
