FJ60 for sale

[lcwizard]

1984 Toyota Landcruiser

I saw this CL ad for an FJ60 here in the Tucson area for sale. I called the guy, who is a middleman for the owner. It's located in an airport hanger in Marana, AZ, and there is NO motor in the vehicle. I asked him why the steep price, and he said "well these are very sought after, and when restored they can go for double or triple the price." Well, to get to that price it has to be pretty cherry. So I said that I recently bought a running 60 for less and offered him $2,500. He said that there was no way the seller would go so low, despite there being no motor. He said there is also a box full of extra goodies, but did not specify what.

I am looking for MUD input on this find, as it is unlikely that anyone on this forum would pay that price.

I have an employee that has onein about the same state. It had a V-8 but he pulled it for his 40. I'm sure he'd take 2000.00.
It has a 4" lift . He rebuild the knuckles and brakes four years ago but never finished putting it back together. It's tan

No way and it needs to be out of the sun.

I need the fuse box cover and cigarette lighter out of it!

OK, now I feel really good about what I paid for mine. Can someone explain the tin foil covering everything? Is it to keep the crack fumes in or the devastating effects of the sun out? Either way, scrap prices. That paint isn't getting any younger.

Protect the interior from the AZ sun!

The only thing that gets too messed up in the az sun is the dash. I'm in the process of creating dash covers using "Mexican blankets" with OEM specs.

Let me know what color glares the least and send me that one!

I wanna see what these look like! Very cool idea. The FD-Camp + Pendleton stuff is cool, but the Mexican blanket idea sounds just as cool and way less expensive.

This is the blanket, called by its traditional name "zarape" pre cut fabric which I intend to use. I will likely post my final product on my El Escobar build thread with a how-to featuring OEM specs as well as other colorful Spanish words and phrases.
Stay tuned.
