Nice looking but that's about it. It may have a hard top but with that roll cage it wouldn't fit. No mention of up grading to disc brakes. Not sure what good a sound system is going do running down the highway with no top. If I'm going to spend $10K on cruiser it will either be one I know I can make a profit on later or a 80 series which makes more sense here in the valley. Murf's 82 with A/C and hard top is a different story but that also isn't a cruiser your going to buy for $10K. While I'm a big fan of the FJ40 I'll buy 80 series for $10K before I would spend $5K for that one which is where I value it.

:confused: Not sure what wound that would be. I love the FJ40 if I didn't I won't have eight of them. Never owned a 80 but for the way I see this club wheel for $10K your for better off with a 80. Driving fifty miles on a highway to get to the trail is nothing. While it may look cool driving down the highway in a open Fj40 it's gets old real quick. While Claudia a real die hard FJ40 owner still has it she has since purchased two 80 series. Just making a point that in that price range a 80 series just makes more sense for here in the metro area.:cheers:


I guess I'm just different, while most think the 66 is cool I see the 71 as a much better value at less then a third of the price.

So do I. I know you're a big '40 fan I've seen pics of your garage... :clap: The "wound" statement was meant as a joke. And the 66 is... I dunno. For every solid deal on a good FJ40 there's 5 crazy ones. See the post about "it's all there (except for what isn't). Like rear doors. :rolleyes:
 
I could see part of the spare tire carrier in the back which makes me think they were going to try and do a rear sill repair or the carrier bottom hinge may have just started to break away from the tub. After seeing a 62 hard top sell for $75K made me realize these stock cruisers are really becoming collectors. Dave G. even made a comment in a thread that he stopped making the 4+ rear crossmember since most were thinking of them as muesum pieces and not one to buy and modify. Would like to buy a 80 at some point but need to get the total cruiser count down a bunch. Don't think trading the 100 series for a Sequoia counted as down sizing in my wife's eyes.:rolleyes: I have a problem with cruisers that will probably only be cured one way. And I'm not in any rush to get there.:cheers:
 
I'm guessing that one belongs to a club member. It posted here lately. Seen by Phil in a parking. Small debate on year. 7/70 booster for the brakes started. Not sure if Toyota called is a 70 or 71 but had all the changes for 71. Guessing it should go in at least the $70 range, or would hope it would by what I've seen others sell for lately.
 
Yeah. Love the color, too.
