Opinions on this 1977 FJ45

[LongHaulCruiser]

I see that the ad is still up on Craigslist. Did you ever follow up with the dealer?

Yeah done deal when I followed up, last I checked FJ wasn't on their site anymore so I assume sold and gone

Guess they forgot to remove some of the ads.

Well, look what I found. I just recently purchased this exact fj45. Was going through the forums, and stumbled across this posting of my now truck. I think that I purchased it from the guys that purchased it in 2019 out from under BlackAura.

I can tell you he didn't drive it much or take care of it mechanically. Good bit of work ahead. At least the body is in good condition.

First order of business: Carb rebuild and fluid changes. (already had to change the Clutch MC and slave, as will as the fuel pump, just to get it drivable). As an owner of a 200 for a few years now, glad to add a 45 to the stable.

If you are the gentleman who left the voicemail this morning, sorry I couldn’t get back to you before closing up for the holiday. I was on a mission to clear the deck before I left.

A 1963 carb that was rode hard, literally put away wet, but still able to be restored.

I will call you back on Monday.

Great detective work, it was indeed. Take you time enjoy the holidays.
