For Sale SoCal Ventura County 1965 FJ45 LWB (1 Viewer)

Location

United States

Hi Everyone! I'm selling my project FJ45. I just don't have time for a project anymore.

It has Chevy 327 with H55F Toyota 5 speed transmission with split case.

The frame was sandblasted and coated with POR15. Converted to Chevy power booster/master cylinder and Saginaw power steering.

I have all the body parts including headache rack. The body is in good condition with just some surface rusts. The roof has a dent on it.

The seats are originals and have been reupholstered.

I'm asking $16,000, will come with all some OEM parts such as OEM side view mirrors, emblems and after market wiring kit, distributor and brand new aftermarket aluminum half doors.

Any questions, let me know. Thank you.

Great candidate for a patina build. Just rub it with linseed oil and go! Could be a cousin to my 49.

Nice looking project! Do you have all the glass for it? What part of oxnard? I work there.

 

[stuching]

Yes I have all the glass. I’m by Oxnard college.

Nice! I wish I had room for another one...then again, if I showed up with another one I might end up living in it!

Is that boiled linseed oil? Looks good!

[Shes Mad]

Yes it is. Thinned 10% to reduce stickiness. That is a couple days after application. It gradually dulls to a satin in about a week.

I’m glad this is not closer or I might own it.

How does it sit now? Chassis together, engine in, body on frame,etc

 

[stuching]

As of now, the frame is put together with engine, transmission and transfer case in. The cab and the fenders are on the frame but the bed is off the frame.

By the way, I forgot to mention the front end is completely rebuilt and from later model later model Land Cruiser with disc brakes.

If anyone knows of a shipper that is capable of picking up this rig, all it's parts and shipping to Georgia, please let me know.

Note: I have reached out to @Riverrunner , but the rig would need to be capable of loading with a winch or driving under it's own power.

I live right down the road from seller in case you need a hand. @GA Architect

Can't say I know any shippers though.

This may be the help I need to put this deal together....all that needs to happen is, get the bed on it, get the steering and linkage cobbled together, put all the miscellaneous parts inside the cab & bed, then I can get @Riverrunner to ship it to GA.....

Working on it.....

Easily sorted, let me know.

From past experience, shippers hate non running rigs, so make sure it steers and has an ebrake. And definately convey that it does not move on its own. I had a shipper show up and refuse to load it even though he was told it didn’t run( they are typically lazy and don’t want to go out of there way to load cars. Best bet is a small operation with a trailer and winch. Hard to load non runners on the big car carriers. Good luck, looks like a solid 45 project!

Yep, I gleaned that info from talking with Aaron ( @Riverrunner ), hence trying to figure out how to get the minimal parts together so it rolls, steers, and stops. Then pack the rest inside the cab & bed for transport. He said they could wench it on a trailer.

It also helps to not live where @whitey45 lives.
