About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

New radiator and battery. Quick uneven respray with cracks around the creases and edges in the bodywork. Several large cracks at the front of the white top. Masking errors around the windows. Chassis was undercoated at some point, although the exhaust looks rusty. The interior looks great apart from those incorrect seats. Valve cover has been repainted or replaced, but the rest of the engine bay is unrestored, just cleaned up and maintained. This is an FJ that looks ready to tackle some terrain rather than get shined up for a show.

Market commentary

Not sold here last year at a high bid of $22,500, but this result in 2017 is right on the money for a solid FJ in driver condition.
