Latest find 79 FJ40 thanks Jason

[Texican]

Harsch referred this to me, he declined on it Josh and me went to Ennis to get her, motor locked up in 89 after dunking it in water, been sitting under a tree since.......showing 65k which I bet is accurate.......no rust holes minor surface ony, nice color and interior looks as if it will clean without repaint......needs motor and the right seats in the front, and a front bumper along with all the bumper brackets........

I just got my first Square bezel FJ40, and have the urge to shop at Bed bath and beyond and listen to Liza Minnelli & Elton John.................

Dang look what some Mothers Wax and some elbow grease did......

Cool find! I've heard of cleaning heavy oxidized paint with diesel fuel. But I've also used "cleaner" waxes with good results.

What ya going to do with it? I hope keep it stock. How about some interior pics?

Interior is nasty, and back is full of parts.....the paint is wore thru in several spots so it will need paint, it is gonna stay stock fer sure......gotta decide whether to flip it after or keep it, since I own a 79 FJ55 that would be cool to have a pair.

Sweet rig. I need to find a good deal like that on a 40. Somebody keep me posted....

 

[Texican]

Looks better after some TLC...............

Floors are as solid as I have ever seen.............

So... you'll have it at the next meeting, then??

NOPE.......may have another owner by then...entertaining offers...it won't have a motor by then anyway...........

 

[wardfoto]

Didn't know you were selling it so quick... Oh well, I doubt with my current job outlook I could afford it, anyway... dang...

 

[Texican]

It's one of them deals.I have 3 PM's from guys on here..............do I make a grand now and not touch it or drop a motor and some new tires and wheels and make several grand......really think it would bring close to 8k running and the right tire/wheel combo.or keep it and have a 79 40 and a 79 55

 

[wardfoto]

Yeah. I hear you... You'd be the only one with a matching set of Cruisers... but an engine and a whole bunch of cash might not be such a bad thing, either... Get one of the rarer farm trucks running, that way....

 

[Aggie]

How much you want for it?

 

[Texican]

How much you want for it?
