I'm gonna say pre-'75 with a Conferr roof rack.

I keep seeing a couple white 80 series with ARB front bumpers, lifted near and along Belleview/Quebec/Orchard area. Haven't been able to tell if it's the same one over and over or different ones. Different people driving them. Also saw one on Belleview near Wadsworth. So maybe that's 3 that are all built very similar.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever looked into the red FJ40 at Budget A1 Transmission off of Santa Fe and Dartmouth? I know it was pretty shabby a few years ago, looks like it's been restored, or partially restored, and has since sat outside in the lot for the last few years. I've always been curious, but never stopped in. It may have even had a for sale sign in the window for a bit.

I was at the Broncos game this weekend and saw my dream FJ. Thought I'd share. If this is yours, cheers to a beautiful 40!:cheers:

I have always wondered about that 40 also.

This isn't something that I have ever seen before.
I found this in the back yard of a house we were surveying this past week. I thought you guys might want to see it. Talk about a true "land yacht".
This is a 1961 Dodge Polara V8. This thing is HUGE!

I did, went in to ask about it about 5 years ago. At the time, he was asking $9k and stated it had a Ford 351 in it, if I recall. If not a 351, it was a ford something. Exterior was not in that great of shape, I never looked in the engine bay.

I see this nice specimen over by my house a lot.
Not sure if the owner's on here, I think so I think I remember seeing this 40 at the rally this year. :thumb: :wav:

Thanks for the nice comments. That's mine. I am usually driving it or a blue 76 40 around in the neighborhood. Usually to Ace or the Autozone down the street. This time it was a subway run.

Lol, I did too. I saw him about 3pm or so rolling home in traffic. Hard to miss Marco.

I had to take Mead to the Eye doctor on Hampden and Santa Fe.
