Gotcha, so that is a replacement block. Fits with the burned up motor background you have. If that motor every gives up the ghost, lets find you a period correct motor to swap back in. Then again you could use a steel stamp letter set to make it the same year

I love old iron. I also love the idea of a stock one for ice cream runs and around but a BIG BAD Mean one for the wheeling seen.

 

[Maverick]

Relic!

[jinxspot]

That think is AWESOME congrats, my first convertable 4x4 was a 72 FJ40 and I would def like to have one as nice as yours sitting in my garage!!!!

What is happiness?

Driving the new cruiser and having it run like it was new,
Owning a cruiser,
tinkering around after work and finding more cool things,
Owning a cruiser,
Pulling up the original floor covering to wash it and finding this!


Ps, the dark spots is mud I just need to wipe up

 

[benjy]

Nice! That would make an awesome daily driver.

 

[Herzog]

Something is strange. There's no rust under there. How did you source this thing?

 

[mombobuggy]

How much is this cruiser worth. I know of two of them that are in about the same original condition. A red one with 60000 orig. miles currently registered rarely driven. And a blue one that has been sitting for 25 years. Neither person is hurting for cash or interested in selling I am just curious. And you never know everything is for sale for the right price.

 

[Shawn]

Finding a cruiser that has minimum rust is an excellent foundation for a restoration. Most of the time the value comes to the owner/buyer because of the condition. Cruisers are rust buckets and finding one in this condition is a great find. Then add in the millage and that everything is complete and works! Heater kicks some but.

 

[muleskinner]

I'm always on the hunt for something like this!

I have been doing a little cleaning and repainting. Here are a few pics, more to follow as I finish things up.
