I’m taking the advice of many on Ih8Mud.com and flying down to Miami to inspect 8 Fj40/43’s. I’ve owned two 40’s in my past and am amazed at how many South American (Colombia, Venezuela) imports are in the US market floating around on eBay, Mecum,Barrett Jackson, BringATrailer and classic used car dealers.
The quality of the restoration work vary so much with documentation and restoration shop details few and far between. Everyone claims they have a gem worth at the high end of the market for SA imports.
In my search and due diligence, I’ve encountered on multiple occasions that the sellers have claimed their shop has the “guy” who worked at FJ Company perform all the restoration work.
I’ve owned two FJ40’s 30 years ago while in high school/college. I’m looking for another one and am visit with a cast of characters in Miami area today and tomorrow who are “importers”. I’ll report back what I discover as these EBay vehicles look great but wonder upon close inspection and driving if they are Thanks
