I might have to sell my 40 what should I ask for it?

Title says it. I don't want to sell it but I need the room and can't justify paying to store it. It's a 1965 fj40, hard top is long gone, rust in the usual places and has a poorly done carbed 350 conversion with the old Downey kit. It's been perked for 13 years and hasn't been started in 11 but it ran well when I parked it. It holds a lot of memories and I have no idea how I would price it objectively. Any input would be appreciated.

Honestly, I don't see this going for much except if you can find someone bent on the 40 frenzy that has to have one.
Clean it up and take better pictures, ask for $4k, settle for 1.5-2k?

I would say clean it up and list in the main for sale section and/or on eBay. What we call rust is considered almost rust free in other parts of the country.

I second 4K, seems like right in the ballpark. Just sold a complete 69 fj40 with top, ugly but very little rust, no engine for just under 4K . Good luck!

Yup, 4K asking seems right.

That is unless you want to sell me the windshield frame then ask $3900...

Thanks for the input everyone. I'm still hoping I won't have to let it go but l probably will.
