Hey all,

I am trying to gauge interest and get some help with a valuation on my '88 FJ62. I've recently accepted a new job which will change up my commute and I need to make a daily driver change.

Here's the story: About a year ago I purchased this FJ62 from a local dealership that deals in older/vintage cars. I financed it, which at the time seemed alright, but on this end of it, all was probably not the best move on my part. I mention this because if anyone is interested they'll have to go with me to the bank to clear the lien.

It's a red FJ62, no rust apart from some super minor superficial surface stuff. Some minor bumps and scratches...

From the place I got it:

  • Top-end of the motor was redone at 200k
  • Just replaced transmission (that would have been 2k mi ago now) with one from Cruiser parts.
  • New AC compressor (could use a charge now)
  • 90% original paint, passenger door, and fender was repainted at some point and has "crazed" a bit. It's pretty minor, but if you wanted it 100% it'd need to be redone. I was quoted around $1k for that.
  • Rear Main Seal done
  • Oil Pan Gasket
  • Tie Rod End kit
  • 31x10.50 BFG K02's
  • New carpet kit
  • NOS Dash
  • I replaced the cooling system (radiator, water pump, hoses, seals, thermostat, and it's runs nice and cool.
What I can tell you from my experience owning it for the last year. It leaks a smidge of oil (not 100% sure where, I never bothered to find out, just maintained the fluid levels, but if I had to guess it's somewhere connected to the AT, I believe it's AT fluid not motor oil.

As I stated above the AC could use a charge.

This is also a good candidate for a birfield seals rebuild. There's some streaking on the inside of the tires, but I've kept the front diff niced and topped off. Drives great.

I would like to get $15k for it. But I'm pretty new to LC's and have no idea if that's realistic or not so, please PM me with any offers or feedback.

gotcha. More picture forthcoming. Don’t have them handy.
 
Nice looking cruiser! Have you tried Bring A Trailer? This might do well there.
 
I am local to the area if anyone needs a set of eyes on this truck. Looks great to me!
 
Congrats on the sale, looks nice. You can edit the title banner to say "SOLD", save folks some time.
