This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of rare "forgotten" history. If you compare new US mail vans, there is a lot of similarities. This FJ was used for that purpose and even has a historical license plate. The FJ-3 is not far from being in a museum due to the rarity. This FJ-3 is a rare sight for sure. And a great conversation piece or can be used to for advertising and marketing.
Thedrive-train is turn-key and runs smooth. The engine has a fresh rebuild and has reliable power. Transmission does not slip in any gear andhas a fresh transmission service. All the electrical is in tack and functioning. The paint work is high quality and ready for show with its steller color combination, its sure to be a show winnerand can enter multiple categories. Thefresh US Mag wheels are brand new and were professionally mounted and balanced. All of the brake system and drive-train (mechanical) have been gone through by an FJ-3 specialist mechanic to ensure all is functioning and working properly. The odometer reads 90 mph, but in my opinion this FJ-3 is a cruiser...plus you want people to see you and give you a thumbsup. The FJ is tall enough to stand up inside and there is room for an additional seat or even couch in the back. The Diamond plate inside adds cosmetic beauty to match the clean interior. The possibilities are endless with this type of vehicle, do not lose this opportunity to own this gem. This is a car collectors dream!!!!
