Wonder what that Cruzzer would sell for today?

I heard that a car once owned by Jon Voight was sold at a premium price to a much impressed George Costanza.
But, my Lord, an FJ40 that Elvis once sat in (in his "medium" days--not the skinny Elvis, but not the bloated Elvis, either) has to be worth a real premium. Just the seat alone would be worth thousands, and be bought by a wealthy collector to be given a prominent spot displayed in a living room somewhere, the absolute envy of all Elvis fans. (Tongue is in cheek)

^^^ what do you mean “legal”?
Sadly, there were some snowy nites and 2 days in the 90's that it was essential we drive and she was it. Always carried insurance! Never got more than 2 or 3 miles from home. Food, parents care and beers! Some sleding was also done late nite at the state boat ramp.

A Young FJBen getting a bowl haircut in the KOA campground, Ouray Colorado circa 79~80, our 76/77 FJ40 in the background. It was beige but my mom didn't like the brown so they painted is baby blue 
What year FJ40 would this one be?

Mid 65? Looks like a vent in the windshield and later style hard top. One ended and the other started right around that time. It is also possible that was a earlier as photo that was photo cropped with body parts that matched the current.model. Some years ago that was disgusted on Mud.
