Matching Numbers FJ62 Important or Not? (1 Viewer)

[62 wannaB]

I am new to the FJ and want to know if it is important for value to have an FJ62 with numbers matching engine, body and transmission or not. Thoughts and opinions please.

Same as a farm tractor. Whatever it takes to keep it running.

On most if not all cars, the manufacturer documents which transmission case (numbered) and engine block (numbered) came with that Vin.

I'm not sure that's the case with these trucks. I've read several threads about this, and it seems there more of a serial number series that corresponds with the year of manufacture. No master list like you would have with a GM or something. I could be wrong though, but I've never seen someone come up with a build sheet showing engine and tranny numbers.

observe my 2F engine #

then , did you know about your frame # location ?

or

is it masked by under coat age and time ?

What is the context for the question? For sale or are you buying? If its well taken care of and the potential replacement engine is the correct one and it was all done well I see no issues with having a cruiser without the original engine. "numbers matching" is not really a thing in the cruiser world.

OP trying to buy the white 62 seattle on bat now

Corsetti has a customer order - so he’s chasing it hard

it’s a 62 that’s had rust repaired and engine swapped at low miles

How many miles are on the replacement motor though? 129k is cool but that is not this motor. The swap being done by Tor is a big plus.

Got it. Hence the RNM no doubt. Didn’t see that, thanks. These auctions are getting really crazy.
