I need to sell my 1989 Toyota Land Cruiser, which I purchased about two years ago with the intention of restoring it. Unfortunately, after the recent passing of my father-in-law—the mechanic and car restoration enthusiast who was spearheading the project—I no longer have the time or expertise to see the restoration through. And I need to empty the garage where we were previously working on the vehicle so it needs to move as a whole and not parting it out.
Any suggestions or advice on where or how or how much to list it for would be appreciated? I live in NC and am going to relist it on the Old State North Cruisers site, in hopes for a local pick up... Here's a link to a bunch of photos if anyone is interested in seeing it's former and current state.
Any assist is greatly appreciated...
Below is my tentative classified description:
I think this is ideal for restoration enthusiasts or as a parts vehicle. I'm not a mechanic, so while I might not have all the technical details, I'm happy to answer any questions to the best of my ability. My main goal is to find someone who can make good use of it, whether by continuing the restoration or utilizing it for parts, I don’t have the time or expertise to part it out piece by piece, but I’m open to suggestions and opinions with any help on how best to sell it. I’m located in Cary, NC. And FYI, the first few pics of the fully put together car are the before pics and not the current 'frame off body' state.
Pricing: Any fair offer will be considered. Please feel free to reach out with any reasonable offer or for more information
Year/Model: 1989 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62 3-FE
~250K miles
Condition: Not currently running because the frame is currently separated from the body, but it was running fine beforehand.
Some of the high level work done:
-Extensive rust removal on the frame, professionally sandblasted, nuts and bolts restored and in great shape
-Many parts were individually removed and hand sandblasted, primed/sealed and finished with a high temp enamel
-Structural strengthening of the frame. There were a few areas of the frame where the rust ate through, these areas were cut out and patched with sheet metal and welded in place
-Brand new OME shocks, brand new 12 piece brake line kit installed
-I've got new seat upholstery that needs to be put on
-Restored, sealed and very clean gas tank
-The floor of the body was also primed, sealed and finished with enamel
