While shopping for my 80 series and then finding out about various specs and port installed options...
I have been wondering exactly how rare these rigs are. Specifically locked FZJ80's (not only black but just in general). I have seen the figures that 7% had lockers.
According to Coolcruisers.com build numbers are below for all FZJ80's.
I have tired to reach out as he has been the only specific data I have seen, unfortunately it looks like he has not been active/responsive to PM.
I was initially looking for a locked white 96/97 ODB II rig, and while I didn't find the perfect one I did find my 96' Black locked rig. I do know that no matter the original production numbers a locked, clean tittle, low milage, rust free rig is rare as they only pop up for sale a handful of times a year. I attribute some of this to loyalty and owners being reluctant to sell. However now that a couple members have proven a 40-55K sales price is achievable for the right vehicle I would have though I would see more trade hands. I also agree with @cruiserdan that we will see these stock low milage examples go though the roof in sales price in the coming years.
My rig specifically is a 1996 FZJ80
Options as follows
Black paint/Oak interior
Factory LX450 colored Lexus leather (I can't confirm this, however it's what Craig @ cruiser parts stated. He told me it is the only one they have seen)
-K294 Lockers
-Wood Kit
-Gold Package (Just emblems, no pin stripe or tailgate lock)
-Rear Spoiler
-Sunroof defector (removed by original owner)
-No/deleted hood defector & roof rack
-Sunroof
-Running boards (Taken off and kept by me)
-Rs3000 alarm
-Car phone (I'm sure it was dealer installed, removed now)
It was purchased at Fox Toyota in Tennessee originally with a sales price of $50,994.00 which I assume would have been high for one of these in 1995.
My ultimate goal here to to see if someone can provide production numbers for locked FZJ80's by color for 95-97.
Also if you know why my rig came with the lighter leather. Maybe Toyota ran out of material or maybe mine was some kind of press car?
Production was 07/96, vin take says its production number 877 which I'm guessing is 877th for that month.
I have seen a couple members that have posted their low milage locked 80's below. However it would seem to me that there can't be more than 50 black, K294 80's left with low milage and being rust free. Especially no roof rack (delete) rigs. Although I know they are out there per the couple high milage, rusted east coat trucks I have found.
