Too Much of a Steal?

Location

United States

Hey my fellow Mudders. I want to know if this is a steal or is he asking way too much. I am new to the 80 scene, so I thought I would ask the experts first. Any advice would be appreciated. No accidents, rust, clean title, just has too many cars and needs some cash the owner states.

Here is link

Sorry, I was too excited about the rig and I completely forgot to put the link as I was typing out the forum! Ready to buy if it's not a lemon!

looks legit...front driver fender has been replaced/repainted so probably had an accident. Might be a whole new front clip actually. I wouldn't buy it sight-unessen. Some of the stuff is "mall crusher" style...rear bumper isn't armor, just stock with a swing arm going through it, etc.

Knuckles, Tranny, caster correction (or lack thereof) driveline vibrations...would be some of the things I would look over. It's a 3FE based truck with semi-float rear and drums out back. Nor armor actually...no sliders, OEM bumpers front and back.

It's basically a medium high mile 3FE FJ80 with meats, a lift, a roof rack and a lot of yellow lights.

Way too much in my opinion, especially unlocked

Anyone in Norwalk

Thanks for the heads up, if anyone is near Norwalk or close by, would you be willing to drop by and check it out? Thanks.

Post this question in a region specific section of the clubhouse...

Bought my '91 for $3100....added tires (685) and a bunch of baselining (1200). Seems like he's asking a lot for a lift, rack, and tire carrier.

Seems pricy to me.

why does it have an axe?

 

[sh3pherdd]

I wouldnt pay more than like 6k for that rig. Has the slower motor and no lockers.

 

[AZcruisers100and80]

agreed. $5k max in my opinion with the older motor unlocked

 

[toomanytoyzz]

Overpriced IMO. I would say $4500 on a good day. If I bought it I'd also kill two birds with one stone by ditching those cheesy rims and turning the white walls in.

Off topic, but what is that image in your avatar? It seems like a show I saw as a kid but I can't get a name to pop into my head. Pray tell.

Johnny Sokko and His Flying Robot

That was one of my favorites as a kid. Even have a couple of old Land Cruisers in some of the episodes. Yes, I actually bought the entire DVD collection from ebay a couple of years ago. The special effects will blow your mind.

Another thing to consider (about the truck, not the vintage Japanese kids shows) is that the rack and lights aren't mentioned in the listing and aren't in the last couple pics...so they probably aren't included...
