I have a 1982 FJ43 for sale. It should be available by early March 2012 but I'm putting this out there ahead of time to hopefully presale the vehicle.
I purchased a FJ43 while I was in Colombia a few years ago. I had many people ask me how to do it and I gave them all of the information but nobody ever did it as they didn't want to take the risk of sending money down and not know what they would get or if they would ever get it. After spending all that time talking to them and trying to help them out I figured I would just do it myself.
Most everyone wanted to have something they could restore and were not wanting to pay the 40-50K+ price tag of others that were coming into the country. The average price wanted was about 15K. Sadly shipping from Colombia and other fees are thru the roof but I think I was able to get pretty close to that mark and still get a car that was not Colombianized if you know what I mean. I went thru 3 vehicles that all failed our inspection down there and we decided not to import them though they were great looking vehicles on the surface.
I will create a Picasa file later but here area a few photos for those interested. All stock (as far as I know thru my inspections) except for the wheels and a few things here and there. Only real option it has is Power Steering. There are probably a few other things here and there that are not stock but nothing major. There is a whole list of things that are unique to Colombia and the FJ43 but you can research that here online.
When it arrives and I can get a first hand inspection done and drive it around to make sure it is as advertised it will be ready to go out the very next day. I am working on getting new plastic vents as most of them are cracked on the hard top.
Hopefully this sells and if I don't actually lose money on the deal then I will start to bring in more and will probably officially become a vendor on this forum. If it doesn't work out and there isn't the interest I thought then at least there is one more FJ43 cruiser in the community. Will also be bringing in hardtops and soft tops from Colombia as well (1Xeach on this shipment). I will test fit the first one that is coming with this shipment but after that I will start to stock them here so there is no wait time.
Thanks and feel free to shoot me questions. Prefer to get them by e-mail as my inbox is already kinda full.
