Best of luck with it. The data mining to retrieve the ads is impressive. I'm sure it will only get better. I'll create an account next time.

Thanks @grey ghost! We worked hard to pull lots of good sources together and bring people things they don't normally see. Glad to hear you're going to create an account.

Regarding FJ40s, yes they are crazy expensive, as are many older SUVs. If you have one, sit on it!

I think the FJ's have been popular and collectable for 20 yrs. now. Fully restored models in the $40k plus range. They look cool.

The price issue is interesting. Given that we aggregate the prices from other site (including cars on line and many others) the prices we show are a large bell curve of the actual prices out there. Yes, all of these cars are for sale and not sold, so the ultimate price is what someone is willing to pay for it

How would you guys want to deal with the high prices? Like, would a sort by particular price be best? Would a function that determines the average price and only shows you cars within a certain range of that price be best? Let me know.

Also, @calif vetteman, here is the closest I could find to a 58 Plymouth Golden Commando Fury: https://vintagewheels.com/r/1mlgjpP

One word of advice when it comes to searching, start broad and narrow down. Search, looks at titles not smaller details such as engine size or important package that you may be interested in. Keep the suggestions coming. Have a great weekend!

I like the CL option of private seller vs. dealer. There will always be a big price difference between those two. I never buy from a dealer.

I do have one,with the steel tub intact and no diamond plating on it.Factory A/C also.Slow road getting it back on the road with using factory parts or getting items rebuilt like the carb and maybe the starter just to try to keep it as original as possible,but it will be worth it.

Good luck. To find one for sale, first there must be one for sale.
