Really Nice 1977 FJ40

TAKEN OFF THE MARKET


I have a Cruiser that has mostly sat in the garage for the last two years. It is 90% Restored. Just haven't used it much since I have bought my F150. Don't like to hunt out of it since I got it painted. Considering selling it. I have a 6" thick file of receipts, paperwork, manuals and catalogues.

No, it isn't. The underneath is covered with GA clay. If you are looking for a show Cruiser, this isn't it! Do you really think you can get a frame off retoration for this Price?!!!! Most of them go for 2-3 times this price!!!

selling cheap.... I seen this for sale a few months ago... I would hold off until spring.. You might get a little more.... Nice truck.. But I'm not big on the color..

If he waits till spring I may have the cash. Being a Newlywed and trying to buy a bigger house doesn't help. Hubby didn't dig the paint, but I told him it wouldn't be for him. I would rock that Cruiser in a heart beat.

Yah, I know what you mean about the color. I just wanted something different besides the cookie cutter Blue, Red or Yellow. If I don't sell it, I am going to do an off frame resto and will paint it a single color. Probably Hunter or Forest Green. Maybe when I semi retire (8-10 years) at 55-57 years old. I will have more time to play with projects like that then. The wife isn't really happy about me reducing it to this price, especially since we have a lot more than that in it! I have a couple of other projects I need some money for. Its a time thing. She thinks I should keep the cruiser and wait till I can save the money to do our projects.

The wife and I have talked about it and I just can't let the cruiser go for this low a price. I may put it back on the market in the spring for the original $12500.00 price. More than likely, I am just going to keep it. I have twelve years of history with the truck. A lot of sweat, scarred knuckles and hard work to get it to where it is today. If you saw the pictures of what I started with, you wouldn't believe what it looks like today. Sorry for wasting anyones time. You will find a cruser. There are plenty out there. Good luck with your search.
