I am curious, possibly some of the experts can answer this, but why do some picture show a red tub and other show a blue tub? If the red was some sort of primer, wouldn't they prime the entire tub?

Pics when tub is red is during the restoration/build before the new blue paint.

There appear to be pictures from multiple projects attributed to the one final project. There are pictures included of both an early (pre '79) 3/4 tub, and a later one. And there's another picture that seems to indicate they were repairing the original body rather than replacing.

Even then the final product looks will done.

That is what I thought, it looked like photos from multiple projects. Thanks.

There's a disc brake axle in the photos as well.

Didn't meet reserve. Thoughts on what it's worth?

 

[zgarre]

I figure the buyer needs to replace the split rims (if desired), add a Vintage Air system (or at least a heater), locking hubs, and a roll cage...

what someone will pay.

reserve is too high

Those $60k FJ-40s at Barret jackson have made everyone crazy

 

[zgarre]

Agreed.

 

[grishw1]

Add the roll bar, air, with hubs think it brings 35K all day.
