Older than dirt - refreshing a ‘64 FJ40 FST

[red66toy]

The enclosed transporter arrives later this week, the 40 will be loaded and trucked about as far from Oregon as you can go - destination Long Island.

Moving on now, locating my next project.

Still one unsold sticker left...

What’s the next project?

What’s the next project?

Not going to say yet. Negotiations are not quite complete. Not going to jinx it.

How about an OZ FJ25 / FJ28 from down under for a change? It will be a cool project and I am pretty sure after you finish it will end up with @cruiserdan & co. It will surely add another dimension to the museums 20 series collection.

2x

From a different thread...

OK, somebody find two rich buyers for Arne's auction so this can be his patina restore, to stock even. Otherwise we may loose him to another Porsche.

Well...

That does appear likely right now. Confirm probably tomorrow.

Nein danka:

Hai:

One more Land Cruiser please.

 

[oregon fj]

I don't normally like to do the same thing twice in a row, and so I've been looking at other options. Not surprisingly, I found one. And it is not a Toyota.

I could say that I'm sorry, but I'd be lying.

 

[63cruiser]

To heck with the red one, I want the nice VW in the background

 

[red66toy]

Yeah, what is the story with the 356?!
Looks like a fun project. Definitely a different beast than the 40.

 

[oregon fj]

The guy won't sell the 356. And I don't want it anyway. Never been much into those, but 911's are a different story. Those, I love.

 

[red66toy]

Awesome dude. Glad you found a worthy project.
My wife really wants a 356. The prices are insane though.

 

[63cruiser]

Good luck to you sir. I was hoping you might have found an LV you couldn't live without. We will miss your passion for the work you do. I personally would like to thank you for the repro sticker. As an owner of a 63, I have no other discernable marking to let people know my truck is a Toyota and not a damn jXXp

I have to admit to having more than a touch of OCD in my makeup. I do try to make note of significant details. That trait affects all of my projects.

I totally understand, and agree fully. I HAD to make those stickers, as my rig NEEDED one.

'72 T coupe. Complete with original MFI. Will replace my current '84 Carrera 3.2 as my sports/GT car fix. The early cars are more interactive.

 

[whitey45]

One year only for the fender oil fill! First year for the 915 too!Love the early cars, a well tuned mfi flat six is music to the ears! Wish I kept some of my early 911’s when they were $7500!!!

Best on Porsches.....
... they have a replacement engine in the rear
Some day, Sir you switch to 356´s believe me.
Over decades I loved the 356 cabriolets more meanwhile the Coupe.
Have fun with your Porsche.
Cheers

Porsche has a Best Seller in its Scale Model Motor.
"Visitors to the Porsche Museum in Zuffenhausen have an affinity for honey. That's just one of the many items available in the gift shop you'll find on site.
It's not the sweet sticky stuff that is a best-selling item though, as Porsche fans are clamouring to get their hands on an actual engine. Not the full-size mill, mind you, but a 1:4 scale version of the flat-6 boxer motor you'd find under the nose of a 911 from 1966..."

Have one of these coming for my son( and me) for Christmas!
