My take on the market recently in my area (SE US) as I'm looking for a driver-quality rig:
  • Sub $5k - parts, essentially unrepairable rust
  • $5-10k - run/drive but significant rust or mechanical work needed, parts candidates
  • $10-17.5k - reasonably solid drivers with some common-area rust and some cosmetic/mechanical work needed
  • $17.5k-25k - reliable drivers with minor rust or mechanical needs
  • $25k-35k - rust-free survivors or semi-restored, not museum quality but very nice
  • $35k+ - near-perfect restoration and no mechanical needs
  • $50k+ - museum quality, these are the top tier BaT transactions

Serious question - is there an engine swap multiplier (up or down) for your price ranges?
 
I am moving soon and may need to downsize my fleet again, trying to decide what to price my 62 at if I need to sell it, but the market for 62s seems less clear than for other models. I'm in CA. the details on it:
1989 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ62 181k miles, clean title
5 Brand new Falken Wilkpeak AT3W 235/85R16 & 5 new 70 Series wheels (16x6)
Couple of small rust bubbles in rear top hatch & A pillar, underside is clean.
Paint faded on top & has pinstripes. The previous owner had it from 1992 and used it for hunting & camping.No rear carpet. Dash has no cracks. Interior cosmetics are decent, but it was a well loved and used vehicle. Center console lid is broken & not attached. Has an oil leak, AC does not work, has “the clunk” when shifting into drive/reverse, rear view mirror doesn’t stay in place, temp gauge doesn’t work, antenna falls out if fully extended, no sound from speakers but radio has power and backlight, the display itself intermittently works, rear bumper hit something on the corner and is bent some(frame and body fine), the trailer hitch is welded on, windshield is aftermarket and its cloudy between the layers in one corner

I'd say ask for $10k. Needs a lot but could be a decent driver with the mechanical issues sorted.
 

Seller took a big difference compared to their asking price on here. The reported accident and aftermarket rear bumper didn’t do it any favors. Sold for $32k without the fee

I think 10k is a little low for the local market, but it does seemed to have cooled off quite a bit recently. Plus it's a bad time of year. I got word that I won't NEED to sell it, which is nice. If I get a good enough offer or potential trade for an 80 series (my dream cruiser is a poverty pack/sunroofless 80) I'd let her go though. If not I'm not sad getting to own it hah.
