Since seeing a photo of a restored FJ45LV (wagon) a few years ago, I've had the yearning to own one. I have visions of hauling the family and our gear around for camping trips and running errands with room for things that won't fit in the 40.
As many of you know, the FJ45LV is somewhat rare (even moreso on the East coast) and some people have been known to hoard them. I'd ask that if any of you happen to come across one and aren't interested in it for yourself, to please let me know.
Given my lack of "skills" I'm looking for one in good mechanical condition that doesn't have more than the typical amount of rust many of us have grown accustomed to. Perhaps an older "restoration" or one with "patina". Budget is in flux but I will most likely sell my 40 to recoup the cost of one, if/when I ever find the LV I want.
FYI - I've already talked with ClemsonCruiser (aka JP) and hope to go see his dad's 45LVs (which aren't for sale) in the coming weeks.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

I've seen JP's dads and they do indeed need lots of work to be a family hauler. Your best bet would be to find one out west and ship it over here.
