In my first month of collecting FJ55 for sale listings, I have logged more than 60 listings with asking prices ranging from $1,000 to $75,900. I will continue to collect this information and post updates.
 
WOW! The big boys got involved in this one. I never thought that would happen and to think he'll make more money after it gets restored. Wob must be a happy camper tonight.
 
The purchaser, FJ Company, is a high end restoration shop like TLC/Jonathan Ward. Their restored 40s sell for $55k and up and their asking price for a restored 55 is more than double that. It will be interesting to see what they do with the '72 and what they resell it for.
 
Here's one that came up in Utah:)

I recently had my pig appraised for insurance purposes and thought I'd share the results. There are probably a lot of appraisal companies out there, but I went with this one, International Vehicle Appraisers Network ( I-VAN). The gentleman who came out is an independent appraiser, who also restores vehicles, so I figured who better than someone who knows what it takes to restore old vehicles.
He did a thorough inspection inside and out, photographed, and asked a lot of detailed questions regarding my build. At no time did he ask how much money I had spent on the build, so I feel this is a pretty impartial appraisal. He also informed me that appraisals rarely meet an owners expected value, so I was prepared.
So, the fair market value this pig is: $27,000.00

That puts it pretty in line with Hagerty's valuation and about where I'd want to insure it for replacement purposes.
 
This makes the blood, sweat, tears, and $$$ of the last year or so a little easier. I've had swine flu since the late 60s when I worked for Toyota. Over the years I've watched Bronco's, Scouts, Jeep's values grow. But the quirky swine stayed undiscovered, unloved, unvalued.

Because my love (affliction) was not based on expected returns, just on respect and love for something that works, has been so forgiving, and has saved my bacon over and over again (no matter how many dumb, dumb things I do). A little over a year ago I decided to put a little lipstick on my pig. Like everyone here already knows, easier said than done - parts are difficult or impossible to find, vehicles designed and built for extended off road use more than 40 years ago are difficult to work on. With their quirky looks, friends and spouses look at us and think, (or say) why????

Well maybe now others are discovering what we have known for some time. SF (swine flu) isn't built on what we think we will get - but what we can give. The fellowship, support, encouragement and understanding from this group of fellow 'sufferers" has been critical to 'Hanging in there!'

I hope now that my "freshen her up" journey will be done by May (estimate revision 17 I think). Can't wait to spend days of summer with her traveling.

Thanks so much to all!

Thank you very much! I worked with Big Block Appraisals via an insurance claim. I might try them out as well. Are you going to go with Agreed (or Stated) Value insurance?

Pablo, I'm still trying to figure the ins and outs of stated vs agreed. I currently have it with State Farm, but the appraiser gave me another name of an insurance company that I'm going to look into.
