“This 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser is said to have been stored by its original owner for 30 years before being refurbished by its second owner between 2017-2018”
They are leading you to believe this was stored inside waiting to be restored. I read it like something mechanic failed that prevented it from being driven and instead of fixing it the owner parked it a field before the second owner found it to clean up and flip.
“The seller notes that rust-through in the left front fender was treated with inhibitor and undercoating, but not cut out.”
I appreciate their honesty but this doesn’t instill confidence what’s under all that hideous green paint.
It’s a cool story and they are cool photos but they don’t match, this pig has a lot of mismatched parts that would indicate someone did a quick fluff and buff to flip on BAT for more than what they would get trying to sell it to this bunch of pig experts. I wish the seller luck but I wouldn’t pay more than its current 20K price without doing a physical inspection. For me unless it has original paint and any and all imperfections are out in the open for all to see or a known auto restorer did the restoration with documented photos I’m out at the prices they get on BAT.
