Equipment
4.2/125hp six, 4-speed, power steering, power front disc brakes, rear-mounted spare, aftermarket CD stereo.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Tidy and lightly but not fully restored engine bay. Dull older respray. Restored but used underneath with a slightly rusty exhaust. Restored interior. Light pitting on some of the brightwork and hinges. A desirable late FJ43 (long wheelbase) soft top, but a bit lackluster in its presentation.
Market commentary
Not sold at a $45,000 high bid at Mecum Houston back in April, a number that could have been taken in light of this much lower result and given its somewhat disappointing presentation. The transport and consignment fees will only continue to get more noticeable from here and it's time to take real money or bite the bullet, take out a home equity loan and bring it up to today's standards.
