From the ad:
" This is the one that everyone wants."

...everyone wants a stock 3FE without lockers... for $14k? :confused:

The "econo power" battery is a tell tale sign this vehicle is well taken care of and gets nothing but the best. Just because you waxed and detail a 3fe 80 doesn't make it worth 11k over what a normal price is.

Don't forget the nankang tires also. That 80 is just like Kessler whiskey "Smooth as silk"

When I saw that earlier, I thought of you selling yours for at least 18k

$18k! DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE?! Brah, these things were $45k new, and that was almost three decades ago. A new one will set you back $85k!

I wonder if he has a ranch or if he's from Denver? :lmao:


From CL:

"First off this FJ 40 is in Billings MT . It's on my Ranch I'm listing this as I lived in Denver for 20 years and 15 up here in Montana .
I Put this away 2 years ago to paint and restore. Mechanically perfect, with 95% Rust Free .
PTO Winch 8000lb 3 on tree manual trans Hardtop original condition . Sitting under my barn shed . Hard to find 50 yr old almost 100% rust free cruiser. No Dissapoinments.
Going to be selling my Ranch this year and I'm going to sell off some of the things I wanted to keep. I'm a Rancher originally from Ft Morgan
But now I'm here. Not spam !! I was in Denver last week, grew up on North side before I became involved with Ranching.
I'm 7 hours from Downtown Denver. Easy ride up I 25 to Billings.
Please if any interest please email me. I still have a Denver #. I will call all interested parties back. This keeps the BS down. Can send more pics to serious people.
If this ad is up its still for sale.
Thanks."

If only we knew what kind of work this guy does! Or where he is from...

Definitely something wonky going on there. If it is a legit deal and for the price, it would be worth converting back to a "normal" vehicle for my son to drive.

I think it's got 230,000 on the odometer, no doors, no interior to speak of, Line-X covered outside and inside. I was assuming it was flogged pretty hard. Not sure how normal it could be made again and whether I'd trust it or not.

Yea, doubt you could ever get it to normal. but it'd be a sweet KOH platform or general crawler project.

I asked the guy if he kept any of the parts he removed, which he did not. He also said it had 290,000 miles. I quickly passed.
