Good stuff. So when you tire of all your projects and need to unload on of the LV's, I'll be hanging out on the sideline waiting.
Rigs look great JP!

Since I am showing the new 45's here are some pics and videos from their maiden voyage a few weeks back. Took them to a local off-road park to test out the 4wd, nothing serious but it did feel good to get the old girls back to their roots

Yes unfortunately it is up for sale, we needed to free up some funds for the frame off we are doing on the other '64 LV. So it was time for the '63 to find a new home. Going to miss her for sure as we made a lot of good memories in a short time

I was shocked to say the least fellas!!! But good news is we gotta enough out of the '63 to get one heck of a paint job on the '64
I've got one more cruiser, my '62 FJ40, to finish restoring over the next couple of months and then it will be back to full time on the '64 LV after what seems like forever

damn....20K! must be a good 10K in body and paint work left to be done
makes me wonder what my 45LV would bring...its all done and needs nothing(and had no rust issues before it was redone)

I don't believe the new owner plans on restoring it, both the top bidders expressed they wanted the LV because of the "patina" look it had. Not everyone wants a perfect shiny cruiser and the "weathered patina" look seems to be very in right now. For good reason though as it is full character and charm bestowed by years of aging naturally, that can't be replicated
No doubt though a restored LV would bring much more than ours
