As a long time cruiser owner .. the time has come to move my Troopy on (Yes Wife is Complaining)

Where are these getting sold these days and listed?

I can not stand Craigslist and I don’t do Facebook.. too old

I know there’s not a ton of 70 series floating around America but I’ve had this one for 13 years now..

So if you guys could tell me where you’re seeing these listed, I would appreciate it.

List it on MUD classifieds first. Later on Bring a Trailer if you're seeking top dollar.

Bring a Trailer listed my last one 13 years ago on their blog site and it sold back to a guy @ Toyota.. But I looked at their stuff and they said Zero Reserve which may be a problem for me I would rather have someone that knows Cruisers they take a bit of looking after ..

Agree with listing it on this site.

You’ve ruled out all the other viable options, can’t imagine eBay or a local dealer/consignment would yield the sale you’re wanting (financially or emotionally).

Would love to see more of it, and what you’re hoping to get for it.

Always wanted a troopy, bought a rhd 4WD van to appease the desire for a bit, it’s helping but maybe someday a 75 will be in my driveway.

Best

I dig those flairs and also the color!

What a great rig! I second BAT with a high reserve. And the classifieds on this site. Mileage? Service records? Rust? Whatchu want? The BAT advantage is something unique, badass, and clean can run away into high numbers on auction. If it doesnt meet a proper reserve there, lots of appreciating/discerning folks on this site.
Awesome truck! Wish l could extend a proper offer, myself.

The ad has the engine information incorrect. The 2H is a 4.0L NA engine that has a turbo installed on it. They have it listed as a 1HZ.

Auction sites like BAT and Cars and Bids are hit and miss on 7x models , I hope you get your asking price . I still feel that listing it here on Mud and on the Fb 7x specific groups get the best interest

Has it ever had a California title?

Why not list it here?

i worked in TN for many years, i started the title Process in California but the yearly $330 per year was a lot, i did the inspection, changed headlights seatbelts, and had to have a reverse switch installed. - they also wanted the front tint removed form Drivers and passenger doors, but by this stage i gave up.

Bummer. Given the current rules (since 2017) it can't get a California title without a CARB exemption (a ten thousand dollar process).

But I'm really curious about not listing it here on the mud classifieds.

just an FYI i saw - Senate Bill 712, has passed the California Senate Transportation Committee last week. So no issues with Vehicles over 35 years old next year in California.

To answer your question i hate selling cars, everybody wants to tell you your stuff is junk and worthless so they can get a good deal. That is why i end up giving old cars away. At auction it gets what it gets. if it is 22k its worth that if it is only 20k then that is what it is worth. I take it personally when people pick faults with things I have looked after for over a decade ..

It's not clear that it will apply to imports, or what CA insultingly calls grey market vehicles.

Pre-97 diesels are already smog exempt in CA.

But imported ones (which coincidentally happens to be all of them) still can't be registered in CA because they lack a federal sticker under the hood.

The CARB exemption process isn't an smog check, it is a verification that the vehicle meets the federal requirements in place during the year of its manufacture.

So I am doubtful.
