Buy it. Now. I passed on a running, original, rust-free 40k mile example about 5 years ago for $11k. It's the one time I knew standing there looking at the vehicle I could make money off it, but I just couldn't get the money.

I hate to say it, but that's a slick deal for one of those. 

That's coming from a guy who routinely says "anything not running shouldn't be listed over $1500."

I know a guy that has about 10 FJs here in Jax.  He is in Japan and has been for years.  Unfortunately he won't put down his bottle long enough to have a coherent talk about selling them to me.

Oh dude, that's really nice. You can swing that, do it. How hard can it be to fix?

Buy it. Even if the original motor is shot there's a huge aftermarket for them up to and including LS swaps.

That's a screaming deal for a solid FJ40 of any variety.

If you ever get that deal moving, I want one.

Look, at that price I wouldn't have even asked anybody for an opinion. I wouldn't have posted a link to the item.

I'd have gone and bought it before somebody else could've. Because that's what's going to happen.

His mom isn't far from me.  Maybe it's time I swing by and remind her that I'm interested.  

Timely. Passed this yesterday on my way to Orlando.
