Figure you all will know best if/who might be looking to sell or thin the herd.
WTB
Looking to buy a clean FJ55 either orginal or slight modifications that can be a sutible DD.
Must Haves:
AC (must have/would prefer original factory air)
PS (ok either way)
PB (disk brakes up front preferred)
Clean - no rust/little to no rust (good luck I know)
Restored ok or clean original better
must run
f or 2F preferred do not want a 302/350 conversion.
Solid mechanically. ( I am ok rebuilding axels front and rear if need be)
clean/straight body.
history (the more the better)
I have zero desire to do body work. Items should have already been addressed as I do not have the knowledge or desire to tackle body work beyond painting.
Nice to have:
ARB air locker/lockers
sliders
winch
front/rear bumpers (armor)
33's 35's (getting rather large)
rebuilt 1F/2F
Alcon lift/springs 3" great. larger lift not really what I am looking for.
not looking for a project just a nice looking classic as a DD.
I know that the list of items I am looking for makes the field narrow with their age. Ok if there has been modifications (lift, wheels/tires, winch, bumpers, armor). However I am looking for a daily driver not a rock crawler. Either expo or slight mod to make it more aggressive.
willing to travel for right vehicle. I am located in FL
Price: Depends on what you have $10,000-15,0000 more if its really clean.
if you have or know of a nice clean FJ55 please let me know. Shoot me a PM so I can get you my email address so I can take a look at some photos.
I've had/known FJ's for a while and understand that finding a 55 in this condition will be tough. Give me some feedback if I am out of line or looking for something that will never happen.
Time for a new car and I would rather have a nice classic rather than a new soulless vehicle.
