Salvage title. Too bad.

Agree seen the leather works in window somewhere else. Sharp looking rig but would look better if it was blue instead of green...but I’m biased

 

[scoobiedubes]

I’m biased too I don’t think a salvage title would keep me from an LV if I didn’t already have one, depending on why it was salvaged. But this one is far from original, still nice though. I don’t think I’ve ever seen an LV I didn’t like. Except maybe one I saw that got hot rodded!

 

[scoobiedubes]

I would have trouble having an automatic though... that just takes the fun out of it

The seller used to be located somewhere in the north bay. I took these pictures in Petaluma, CA. September 2015.
It’s definitely nice looking. Not perfect by any means but thats fine. A driver for sure. Especially with the LS. If my memory serves me right, it may have belonged to @gifu once. I say that because of the 60 axles. Then another guy owned it in SoCal. I may be wrong about this though.

EDIT:: I found the thread about it.....

1967 Fj45 Almost Done

I bought this rig early this year from GIFU. I believe it used to be owned also by orange fj45. anyway after 8 months of work at PROFFITTS CRUISERS it is done to a point where I am happy with it. Jeremaih and the guys are super nice and thanks to all the cruiser heads that refered me to him...

Yup that was mine many moons ago. It was SOA on 35s with a 350/sm420. It was my Rubicon rig for a couple summers. The current owner has made it into a very nice daily driver.

What is reasonable market value for this especially given the non-stock components?

 

[scoobiedubes]

One similar (V8 etc) went for like $50k at Barrett last year, but then re-sold recently for quite a bit less than that - mid $30k I believe. LV values are all over the place but I'd say it should be in that range. $35-50k probably.

Agree with above, From what I have seen what was done, maybe little north of $40k. Good Luck!

Respectfully, this vehicle couldn't be recreated for under $50k these days.

If the selling price is sub $40k, then the LV is not the "holy grail" vehicle that everyone claims it is.

I agree with all of that, but based on the comps the past few years I would still be surprised if it goes beyond $50k as it sits. And bring a trailer is a bad site for cruiser sales. Hope the owner has a good reserve set.

You can rarely ever recoup the costs of building something personally.
The price to be paid is completely dependent upon market, This rig may fetch more but it will take time for the discrete buyer who desires exactly what this LV has.

unlike a lot of 40s, you can't really be choosy with a 45LV - just not enough of them out there. We see maybe 4 or 5 up for sale per year? Take away the 1 or 2 that are frame-off and far too expensive for the regular Joe, you might get just a couple of opportunities to buy one per year. So yes, certainly has potential!

Looks like it hit $55k and sold, not too shabby for a rest-modded LV!

 

[KT40]

I am impressed!! 55k! Damn! Congrats to the seller!

 

[xtremeVA]

IMHO...well bought at $55k. From the BaT comments it's going to Idaho where the buyer will enjoy the heck out of it. Buyer also pays 5% fee to BaT so the "total" price paid was $57,750.
