I am confident that the body would be ripped off slowly, little by little, by the trees.... I can better assess the condition once I get it in the garage... need to really scour the floorboards, etc. to see what is what. I know it needs fenders but all the doors are repairable as well as the hard top. All the weather strip is good for the most part, glass is good, runs like a champ, and is relatively unmolested other than the steps which are missing and the turkey feathers all over the inside, and the turkey beard hanging from the dash that the previous owner kept ; )

Yes, I moved an 85' 4runner recently.... got this because it was a good deal and is complete... and as we know, they actually make replacement body parts for the 40 series.... unlike the 55's. This 40 is complete down to the air ducts to defrost the door windows... never molested other than by cancerous rust.
Thank you. I no longer have the ugliest cruiser in the group.
