Why are we selling it?
We've got a lot of cruisers. Need to thin the herd a bit. I was going to use this one as a parts rig for my 1HZ-T 60 project, but I ended up buying all new parts for that one anyway, so this one is simply surplus to our needs. And we want to free up funds for other cruisers we have sentimental attachment to. I was going to remove the suspension from this and put it under my 1HZ-T 60 project, but I'll offer it this way and if it sells great. If not, I might pull that suspension and put stock suspension back under this one if I get a little free time to do so. It hasn't run in the past few years. About 6 years ago a critter decided to eat 5 of 6 plug wires overnight while it was parked outside my folks' shop in NM, so last week I put in new plug wires, battery and generally gave it a thorough cleaning and got it running. Not that it was particularly hard--plug wires was all it actually needed. It's been sitting in dry New Mexico since ~2016, and that's where it is stored at this moment. Will update if I move it back to CO.
Asking $7500
It's outside of Albuquerque, NM at the moment at my folks' shop, and they can show it to anyone who wants.
Transport to CO is available depending on timeline.
Only reason I might not drive it back up on it's own is that I'm not sure the tires are safe for highway miles after being so old, and I'm generally moving things from the shop in NM up to CO so the Dodge is making the trip anyway. But the truck can easily, safely make a 500 mile drive no sweat.
Selling separately

Blue/Grey 60 seats
Other 60 series odds and ends
