Seeking Advice on Selling ‘95 Land Cruiser FZJ80 With Supercharger

I'm not a moderator, but my understanding is that for sale posts need to be in the marketplace, not on the tech forum. I've had stuff bounced from here for that reason.

As mentioned earlier I would take the supercharger off and sell it separate. A good kit is hard to come by and can fetch you a decent amount.

not to be an a-hole and crap all over it the only thing going for it is the supercharger and no rust. the exterior is beyond faded, the interior is hammered.

i buy them in better condition to part out because they are too far gone to put on the road. it would cost 5 to 10K, and thats without labor, just to get that into good enough condition to be considered a good daily cruiser. its basically trail status imo. you would get more pulling the SC, selling it alone and then try to get whatever you could for the truck. my guess is 5K max.

I am not trying to be mean, just putting out facts. i can find one in much better shape needing an engine for 4 or 5 grand. spend 10K doing a complete under the hood overhaul and be in it for 15K and have a brand new engine with everything supporting like hoses and radiator done. just putting that out there for a guide.

Thank you for offering your guidance.

Thank you. I’ll keep that in mind.

She's lived a hard life. Either sell to someone who wants to continue that hard life or sell to someone who wants to restore it. Either way it's a $10k truck max IMO

I appreciate your reply. Thanks.

I'm not sure if this has been said, but I think the way to go it to uninstall the supercharger then sell it separately. You'll need to source a few parts, but it is very doable. By doing this I think you can maximize your profit. Good luck out there.

Thanks for your perspective. I’ll keep it in mind.

Dang, would have thought this was listed long ago. This thread started 6 months ago due to a pending move...

Move still pending. Took a break to follow up on some of the early advice. Plan to list soon. Almost there. Appreciate your reading this thread.
