Yup, I'm new to this thing called the fj40 so here goes a few questions.
1. I am considering buying a 1964 model from a local who is moving out of state and he is asking about $800.00 for the vehicle...is this an ok price?? (not too rusty, runs)
2. While looking at it (very quickly) I didn't notice any lever for shifting into 4wd. There was a lever on the dash but I don't know what it is used for and the man who is selling didn't know either. The only exprience I have was when I owned a 1980 Jeep CJ-7 (over 20+ years ago) and in that car there was a lever to change from 4 hi to 4 lo.
3. I am looking for a no nonsense basic 4wd drive vehcile that can take it without expensive repairs (ie cost of parts this year vs. another year of manufacture).
4. Any books that I could buy to "get up to speed' on this type of vehcile?
That is it for now....thanks in advance for your help.
