<snip>... I plan on either turning it into a 100 series pickup ala Slee's 80 series Valkari (SP?) <snip>

Christo's creation was Vlak Vark. Means something in Afrikaans, I think, maybe Wart Hog??

That's the word I was thinking and warthog was the meaning.

That's my buddy's rig, I built the rack. He just ran through the Pawnee Grasslands with me. He's an adventure guy and his Cruiser is a tool to get him there and back. There's very few straight panels left on it. However, we do have an agreement that if it doesn't sell for what he needs it to, I get it for MUCHO' CHEAP... I plan on either turning it into a 100 series pickup ala Slee's 80 series Valkari (SP?) or chopping the top, tubing the entire passenger area and making a family side by side toy to beat on. Or... my personal favorite, chopping it behind the rear doors and building my 2 person dream camper. Lets hope it doesn't sell. :thumb:

The thing drives straight as an arrow, new TB/Water Pump, lots of records, he just beats on it and keeps driving it. He's wedged it in quite a few ditches, drug it along the side of another rig trying to pass on Spring Creek, scraped a stump with his door. To him it is pure utilitarian and he has WAY more fun than most on a trail. He won't get near $5k. It's pretty amazing to see just how much that rig has taken, and it keeps on ticking.

I would love to have a beater 100!
For your sake i hope he does not sell it. :D

1970 FJ40 FS - Colorado Springs

Not on CL - saw this in the Broadmoor area in Colorado Springs, parked in a driveway. 350 V8, Saginaw PS. No affiliation, I was just driving by. I have more photos. Pretty clean - paint is of average quality. No rust that I saw and no oil slicks underneath.

The hood ornament is interesting - sort what you'd get if an FJ40 collided with an old Buick.

I believe that is Merl’s. The old owner of Classic Cruisers.
