sweet! I was thinking man, that must have sitting for a while, 91 wasn't that long ago..then it occurs to me 91 was 19 years ago :eek:
 
Butch, very nice find! :cool: If you get a chance, post it up as yours in the "Count the 25's Thread". Only the 121st Holy Grail to date. :p

Talked to the owner today, he has not been able to reach his brother who is 1/2 owner, tried to get me to throw out an offer..........what is your thinking as to worth?
My thinking is $500 start and max $750, he says they have the trans and t/case however I have not seen it yet.
 
hopefully they(seller) won't read this thread,,,, with you callin it the "holy grail"!!! The price might jump exponshelly (sp):p

No worries, doubt if he even knows what the internet is.:p:p
 
Cool find Butch. Congrats.

I think that's reasonable, right around what I paid for my first, more complete but much more rotted 25. Tranny and transfer are a plus, if you get them you'll want to keep it original. ;) If you do that, you're not too bad off, besides the regular unobtainium (bows, doors, carb, caps, bumper etc.) you're only missing FJ25 specific items like vacuum wiper motors, rear emblem and wheels.
