fair price for this fj55 rig??

[temison]

any thoughts are appreciated on whether $4,000 is a fair price for this rig. i'm looking at the rig this afternoon.


1976 Toyota Land Cruiser
FJ-55 Series
Rare and very good mechanical shape. Rust around the roofline (rain gutters) makes this a bit of a project vehicle, but mechanically is in very good shape.

I've owned this truck for over 10 years, and am the third owner. The vehicle is driven under 250 miles per year.
Started life in Ft. Collins CO, and the second owner did a lot of great mechanical fine-tooth-comb work here in SF during his lulls on long firefighter shifts at the SFFD Fireboat garage. During the years I've also put a lot of time and effort into maintenance, mostly mechanical.

140,000 original miles
Very dry block
Excellent, even, high compression
Smogs fine (under new standards)
Red/White (original colors)
Original 2F 6-cylinder engine
4-speed Manual Transmission

Mechanical: Very Good
Body: Good
Interior: Fair

New Tires Goodyear Wrangler AT/S 30x9.5 R15
New brake master 2003
New clutch master 2001
New belts 2003
New air filter 2003
New fuel lines 2002
New fuel filter 2004
New battery 2002
Overhauled Radiator Nov '97
Valve job and new rings @ 100,000

'76 would be a nice year to have, discs, long-body Aisin hubs.

Rust in the roof would be a problem for me...

Check very very closely for bondo at all the usual rust locations (bibs, lower front fenders, rockers, floors, top of the pillars, quarter panels along the bottom, bottom of the tailgate, tailgate channel). If the roof is the only rust issues that you have to deal with..then it looks like a pretty good pig.
