Wanted Pig wanted - Located in FL (1 Viewer)

Location

United States

I have been monitoring mud/clist/ebay for a classic cruiser and seen a few but havent found the right one

Against my better judgement I find myself drawn to the rarer, often more rusty 55s over the more readily available 40/60/70 series

Located in San Diego Tampa FL - if your cruiser if able to be driven back to Tampa without it blowing up, then you are in my buying area

Budget up to $20k (could go over as well)

Looking for a weekend driver with good bones. Not looking for your incomplete project.
Prefer original over modded / restored. Obviously at my budget not in the market for a top of the line restomod or perfect condition survivor.

Pm or post links here, thanks!

There is a green 1969 55 series on ebay that belongs to a mud member. I can attest that is an original Texas pig and awesome original shape ( a friend of mine found this last year and I passed it along to the present owner). If you need his contact info let me know or bid to win on ebay.

That was/is my green one. It's in Boston though. Needs electrical gremlins sorted otherwise in good nick

I'm east coast, but getting a little more serious about letting go of my 55. It originally came from Oregon, then made it's way to the east coast by way of Colorado. I've had it about a year and a half.. If I keep it, it's getting body work and paint with an interior refresh but I don't know that I want to go through the process. Link below

Being in CA, I’d stick to 75 or older for smog easiness

My son has a 1970 fj55 that he and his brother have been driving for the last 6 years as their main around town car. It’s been great for them. He made a comment that maybe he’d like to sell it and get a older vw van.

Do your sons have any pics? How many miles? How does it run? I'm in Sierra Madre, btw, and very interested. And apparently we have the same last name! Thanks.

Nice - Pretty sure I drove by them northbound by El Camino Real. Nice looking rig!

Is this the pig with the black front end? I think I’ve left notes to buy it and maybe even talked to you in person before. Ended up finding a local ‘70 myself that I bought a couple years back and have been nursing back to life!

Warde -

I am getting ready to sell a complete, running 1972 FJ55, located in Los Angeles, and I thought I'd reach out to this post first.

My Pig may fall into the "incomplete project" bucket, but it is in good running shape with a strong 1F and solid transmission. The drivability issue is brakes (a few wheel cylinders are shot).

If you are interested I'd be happy to send you some pics. My plan is to put together a posting I can use here, other forums, and CL etc. Let me know if you would like a first look.

Thanks,

Pigherder

I have one that is not quite ready to sale yet. Just thought I’d give you a heads up if you haven’t found one by the time it’s finished. Located in Alabama

i am rebuilding my 1971 fj55. It has 38,000 miles on it. It has some rust, front floor pan, drip rail, rear inside door jam, not bad though. It was from Alabama.
Rebuilt carb, new brakes, brake booster, brake reservoir, gas tank cleaned, degreased and resealed, hoses belts and a hd winch. When my mechanic is finished with it I will run it and check the engine seals for leaks. I might be willing to let it go. I live in DeLand Florida.

Looks good. i'll keep it in mind!

 

[Cruiser neal]

I forgot to add that the suspension will be redone. I have decided to do the paint and body work. Of course that will drive the price up.

Ahh, too bad you are painting it. It looks so good.
