original spring green! so many cool little original things that my 64 didn't have. A new soft top is on my list for sure! I think I want to restore this to as close to original as possible, it is just too solid with so many thing still there. I do wish he hadn't cut a hole in the dash for a tiny radio speaker....

scary with all the undercoating sprayed everywhere. you can see the rust was pretty bad in some areas on the frame. enough that they jerry rigged a c channel in and replaced the shock tube. and why isn't the sway bar hooked up? i'd look that one over very carefully before purchase. at least he's not asking 25kAnd a good looking local 62 on MUD.
SOLD - Now showing 1989 FJ62 For sale, 10K, Greenwood Village, CO
4/5/24: update: I just saw this relisted on Facebook. If you come across it the guy that bought it from me is trying to flip it at a huge markup. Beware though, I know the amount of work the truck needs and it’s a lot, someone will lose their butt if they buy it for 16k as he is relisting it...
Yeah I just went through the full gallery and its a 4k truck. Lots of funk underneath and bondo spread like cream cheese on the rockers.
I considered this when it was listed by the same guy last year. He said he wanted to get it fixed first before he sold it. The photo link he shared is from last year before the work started. The two photos embedded in the add look like the work in progress. I would assume the framework will look better when it comes back on March 8th like he says. I wonder who is doing to the work though.
How cool is that. So much potential.not mine, just saw this FST in Meeker:

Good to know where this is ending up. Very bummed that it won't get built by the gentleman you bought it from (good friend of mine). I actually helped him pull it out of the field in Boulder county. In fact, we used my truck and trailer to get it out of there. Here are a few photos from that adventure.uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......sold to me. I happened to be in his neighborhood kinda when the ad posted and I love the idea of replacing my stolen 64 40 with a "new"one. (He actually lives less than a couple of miles from the last known place my stolen 40 was seen! I drove right by it...)
Very solid, purrs like a new sewing machine. Has an awesome story behind it, I will post up a build thread soon. This guy rescued it from a field from the original owner who said it was the first 40 sold in Boulder county. And this field is one that burned in the Marshall fire. Whew! The original owner had hand written notes from the very first day in 1964 when he traded in a jeep for the 40, and the very first line item is $6.00 for insurance.
Yeah, it's actually located in California and they're not very responsive.posted earlier I think...seems like a good deal, but been up for awhile and he seems a little sketchy....

That's freaking awesome! I smell a Toyota trails story.Good to know where this is ending up. Very bummed that it won't get built by the gentleman you bought it from (good friend of mine).

Best of luck and skill to you. Would love to see this get back out on the road.
We might have to chat! The guy I bought it from is a really awesome dude.
