Well I am REEEAAAALLYY STRUGGLING with this decision to say the least!!!
This is by far the best 55 I have ever owned (and I have had about 15 of them) and the last thing I WANT to do is sell it! But my finances are way out of wack and I must sell
!
So here it is.....1972 FJ55 aka "BIG ORANGE"!
The Good:
SBC 400 w/quad jet carb
TH350 trans w/torque lock out (gives it a little over drive)
3spd transfer case 2.3:1
Saganaw power steering
35 x 12.5 x 15 mud tires on 15 x 10 steelies
Front Disc brakes
4" susp lift
Rhino lined floor front to back
Rear power window (WORKS AWESOME)!
Chevy lilt steering wheel
Factory skid plate
new shocks
Silverado seats w/shoulder belt built in (VERY NICE!)
Four point harness in the rear and the rear seat in recovered
New Paint, rolled on to give texture and durablity
Floor boards and body very solid, the 2 major rust holes (bottom f & r fenders) where cut out and new sheet metal welded in!
This is one of the most rust free 55's I have ever seen (came from out west)
Has NO mechanical issues!!!
RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT!
I wouldn't hesitate to drive it ANYWHERE!
And it will cruise at 75mph with NO PROBLEM!
The Bad:
Has no headliner
New paint, rolled on to also hide inperfections in the body
Yes it has some bondo (but very little) because the PO got to close to some trees
No A/C, but can be added for $1000
No lockers, but can be added f&r for $700
The Other (I know it's supposed to be "The Ugly" but there just isn't anything ugly about this Pig!):
4.11 gears
Could use some custom bumpers and rock slides, which I can install for a small price
Needs a bigger brake booster (stops GREAT you just have to press a little harder), one out of a disc brake cruiser (preatty easy to come by!)
I am asking $6500 feel free to PM me with any offers!
I live in Cartersville, GA and my phone number is 404-392-8534
Here are some pics, let me know if you have any questions
.
These interior shots where taken before it was painted, but still looks the same
Sorry, engine a little dirty
I will clean it.
Thanks for LOOKIN!
