For Sale Thoughts on this 40?

It's a 74 with a 4-speed in running and driving condition. Does have a bit of rust (as all of them do) although imo not too bad. Worst spot looks to be the cowel panel. Current owner says it will need a carb rebuild at some point soon. Supposedly frame is in good condition although still waiting for visual documentation.

It has a rebuilt title - PO says a different PO got struck where the cowel panel dent/rust is and that resulted in a rebuilt title.

Positives - new sheet metal flooring in drivers and passenger sides, front disks, new gas tank, new tires, rear sanded down and painted, new battery.

Asking $8500 which seems on the high side to me.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks!

If it had a hard top in about the condition of everything else, yea maybe $8500. I'd offer 6k and let them come up to $6500
I prefer to buy either 65, or 76 and newer myself.. but they are hard to find for that price now

I will be selling a Tan 80 FJ40 with a Summit V8 Crate engine in it, it's a beast! I'll try to get some pics, there was extensive work done to make it a safe driver.
