Looks pretty complete. However, it also looks a long way from driveable... but thats just a guess.
It may fire right up.
For me... 5k is too high, but it is a unique cruiser and very complete. If it drives, it is a decent price.

id say 5k is to steep. complete, and a rare bird for sure
are you interested in a big project? will he wheel and deal ?
$2000
Sounds like the seller is just being a di*khead - '$5,000 or I'll scrap it'. He'd be lucky to get $200 for it at a scrap yard.
Look at the floor, rain gutters (sitting under a tree would make me want to really look closely at the gutters), bottom of all doors and the frame very closely. If there is little to no rust (it does look clean, and California is very kind to Cruisers), I'd agree with Kevin - $2,000. If there is rust, go down from there.
You can always sell the PTO for $1000 or so if it is complete to help offset the purchase and restoration.
Times are tough out there, make it work to your advantage. This guy thinks he has the goods; play his game and tell him $2,000 or he can keep it. Tell him the Saginaw conversion ruins the classic appeal for you....

$500 as it sits.
I agree.....one thing about buying the FJ40 is that its unique from the FJ60/62 based on my experience. Its funny because the stigma attatched to the name toyota is: ITS A TOYOTA THEY LAST FOREVER!$500 as it sits.
One thing specific I hear with the FJ40 though after searching for one is this one: Its a FJ40 these are classics and will sell for 60k dollars!!!!!!
YES I heard this from folks on ebay and craigslist they tell me this that the FJ40 that they plan to sell to me at their price is that these will and I hate this word 'FETCH' 60K dollars at the auction once you restore it all. (rant off)
They're cool... Just I don't have 15k to put into a restoration to end up with a 12k truck.
Umm. . .the dude is allowing plants to grow ON the hood, and black widows to play poker in the interior and he's asking five grand??? He obviously saw you drooling.
That's gonna be a massive project any way you slice it. For the money, you should at least be getting an engine that starts. I second the vote on the $2000 offer.

I'd say "$5000 for a rusted out, non running, old piece of crap! Are you kidding me! "Then offer him $500, and you'll haull it away, but only if it's currently registered, if not then $300! But then that's me, give him your phone# then go home and wait.
Did you forget to take a picture of the gold bar in the back? $1500, and $500 of that is for the PTO. I do not think anyone will give him 5k for that. I would love to pick something like this up, but as it sits its a big gamble as to rust under the body and frame. It has clearly been sitting there for a long time.
$2000
I'm thinking $1500 and I live in New England (rust country).
