New Member in Georgia

Post by jcmatl »

Hi all,

I'm a new member from Atlanta. I have usually been into classic cars but sold my last one about six months ago with a desire to get into a Patrol or FJ40. I've been scouring CL and eBay without much luck so hopefully I can find something here.

I prefer something fairly original that is mechanically sound. Definitely not looking for something to sit in the garage.

Thanks! I've seen that red one before. I thought it seemed a little high given that it needs both mechanical and body work? Am I correct on that?

It's easier to determine the price once you (or someone you trust) has laid eyes and hands on the candidate. Show up with cash and then see what it is truly worth.

In the Patrol world, if you let this one pass another will come along. Unfortunately, a nicer one with a lower cost may be on the other side of the US. Then you will be in a real pickle.
