All
What do you think I could realistically get for my 62? I am casually thinking of selling it, and taking over the wife's 4runner and buying her a more kid friendly car (just had a kid). I know that I will certainly take a "bath" on it, and have no illusions of getting stupid TLC prices. My home server is down, otherwise I would post pics again - I did post a while back.
I am sure I am missing stuff, but this is what I had in mind. I was frankly shocked how much there was after I wrote it all down! I just want a decent idea, then either commit to selling it or cross the ideal off the list.

3rd Owner with ALL receipts and records (think 4+ inches)
230k miles, all engine/transmission was done 6k ago for no real good reason other than having somthing to throw money at.
SF Bay California Car – currently located in Santa Cruz
Body is straight, no dents, never been in major accident. The rear lift gate was dented when I bought it, but got a good used one and had it painted to match (inside and out – removed all HW).

More spare parts than you know what to do with (all in a RubberMaid Action Packer)
A well used 1989 FSM (the good one)
A Chiltons manual good for starting a camp fire
A COMPLETE printout, sorted in a binder and in protective sleeves, of the parts microfiche
What is Wrong
Blows code 71. I think I have replaced “everything possible” – still think it is the VSV, but haven’t bought a new one. Every time I go through the FSM procedure I get stumped.
Alignment is good, but the steering wheel is a bit “off” due to steering box replacement
The front drivers spring has some inter-leaf friction and occasionally knocks when you go lock to lock without moving
Gas mileage – but you know that. 10 in town, 12 on highway, but these are estimates due to different tire sizes and lack of GPS
There was a small (and I mean small – size of eraser head) rust spot in the passenger side rear window. I scraped all the rust under the seal and the body, hit it with galvanized paint, then touch up paint.
Font axles need to be done – some seepage noticed, just haven’t done it yet
AC – I have a new drier, but there isn’t ANY Freon in the system due to a friend’s assistance during the motor removal. You will need to get it recharged.
Paint – Clear coat is fading on the rear driver side. Some scratches in the roof due to the neighbor cat getting surprised by my flip flop hitting it in the head.
What it Needs
Long Rang Gas Tank
Rear tire carrier
WINCH
Lights on the ARB bull bar
Roof Rack
CB
