Paul Porter's Pig For Sale (1 Viewer)

[RUSH55]

Hey all, just found out off the Fj-55 list that a Phoenix guy, Paul Porter is selling his FJ-55.
It's got a SOA done by RHINO, though I don't think all the way complete, on 33's. Primer Red if I remember by the pics. It's more or less a project rig, but he's asking $1000. Pretty good f'ing price, and if I knew I could spend my money on another toy, I wouldn't have even bothered to say anything.
His email is hp@zentool.com

It sure sounds like a good price to me, although I am a more of a mild SUA kind of guy. He hinted in his email that he was selling due to some broken wheel studs and poor health. I would sure hate to see him sell it for that reason-- maybe we could get together and help him replace those wheel studs-- if that is really the only reason he is selling.

I offered to buy his new rear window rubber, but he wasn't interested in parting it out. You would think that some money for that rear window rubber (at least a hundred bucks) and that roof rack (also worth at least a hundred bucks-- I think so anyway) that you could get the underlying 55 for real cheap.

But I don't have anywhere to put it.

Sorry dude, you want pics, email him. He ain't part of the board, and it obviously ain't my rig, all I'm doin is helpin' out a fellow 55'er. You don't like it, hit the friggin road, I don't need you to tell me my effort is worthless!

Also that 60 (I forget what year) is *still* for sale at Park Place in Cottonwood. It's been there for about a month now. Started out asking about $10K for it. Now it's down to $8500, but I bet he'd go even lower.

I had taken it for a test drive a while back. It's clean and in really good shape. Has a winch on the front. It has the Chevy engine in it though.

I hadn't heard about this one-- can someone tell me more?

/dad still needs a cruiser.

If I remember, on my way home from work, I'll stop by and get the details off the for sale sign.

The thing that kept me from it (besides the $$$) was that though he had swapped out the engine, the tranny's the same, so I guess that limits highway travel. Unless you're cool with just going 55mph.

Hey shut-it Focker! But it is much better coming from you, even though your efforts worthless! How was your V-Dub party, butt-munch?

 

[grrlscout89FJ62]

Jared, here's the scoop on that 60:

1986 FJ60, grey
146,500 mi - 350 Chevy EFI put in at 138,000
$8500
928.284.3058

I peered in the window, and the interior is pristine. The exception is the rear carpet, which is all duct taped up.

 

[RUSH55]

OK, here's some friggin' pictures, you nit-picketty people!!

Good looking pig for the money. What's it got for a drivetrain?

Hell with some leopard spot paint and oxide plated wheels, it would be styling!

shaddup rocketboy!!! how did i get dragged into this,, yer all a bunch of retards.

on a side note there is a super clean looking and utterly stock 60 for sale near me, i think its 3K? i can get a # if any of you fags are lookin for a new shag-wagon.

 

[RUSH55]

AFAIK the d-train is stock. I don't think I mentioned it, but I believe it's a 72. RHINO? So that puts it in the F/3spd category.

 

[RHINO]

its a '70, all stock but for a floor shift kit (3spd) and chevy engine, either 235 or 250.

 

[RUSH55]

Thank you for correcting my ignorant ass!

I looked at the 60 in CWOOD this weekend. If you've got the time you could build a nicer truck for less money. My truck, alot cleaner body and interior wise than this one in question, was $3200 and if I've got $3k into the motor and trans swap when I'm done it'll be pushing it, puts me at about $6200 call it $6500 for good measure. Saved 2k and end up with a lift gears and lockers too. The 60 is nice, don't get me wrong, but just not worth the asking price. The exoed mini sitting 2 cars down from it is a muck better deal for $6k OBO (motivated seller). Say $5k and you've got a dual Marlin setup with gears lockers and blah blah blah. That one is a nice crawler.
