What's this FJ40 worth?

[greenseaman]

My brother was killed in a tragic accident 2 years ago. My sister-in-law got an offer for his project FJ40 and she is wondering how much she should sell it for. It was garaged for 13 years until he covered it up outside 2 years ago. It is a 77 drivetrain w/ a 75 back half of the tub welded on to get rid of rust. It has been rhino lined. It did run but needs some carb work and the new poly gas tank must be installed. It also comes with aftermarket seats. It does have some rust. I know it is only worth what someone is willing to pay, but what would be a fair price for a project like this? I'll try find some pics.

Not much. Plus its a frankenstein. Maybe $4k?

I was thinking $3K - $4K. Since its not original, it's not really a restoration candidate. Not sure what the rust situation is like on the frame or body panels... It depends largely on how long y'all are willing to wait for a buyer, too. Does it have doors?

 

[greenseaman]

It does have doors but I'm not sure what kind of shape they are in. That's way more than I was thinking. It is frankensteined. Hopefully it will go to a good owner that will build it and drive it. Thanks for the replies!!

I have my hands full with my own project, but once she decides on a price, would she consider letting a LCLC person have a chance to buy?

 

[greenseaman]

I'm sure she would!

I seem to remember a certain wife of yours wanting to get her hands on an FJ40

Your memory is an inconvenience for me. Besides, pink was never a factory color. Wait, I see where this is going now...

I have first dibs, depending on price, of course.

I think your CJ-5 might be jealous!

 

[dbenke]

It'll be for sale shortly
Besides, it's a CJ-7
