Had a thread back in 2011 asking the value of a one owner 1970 FJ40. I asked if it wouldn't be worth more because it still had everything including the complete tool kit which most was still in plastic. The answer I got was not really. At the time I think price of tool kits was still south of $1K. But still on a vehicle that they placed a valve of $10K you could sell the tool kit and get around 10% of you investment back right away. Of coarse the purest would say the tool kit needs to stay with the original vehicle. Same ones who said it won't add any value.

Its funny whats happening with landcruisers, a ferrari tool kit can command $50k, never thought a landcruiser tool kit would reach $1500!!
