69 landcruiser

[fowldarr]

So, my wife just found a 1969 landcruiser, with a mild lift, and a 327, that he guy wants to trade for a minivan, and she asks me if we can trade her van for it! I love my wife.

I have emailed the guy. Will keep you all posted.

Does it have power brakes and steering? Make sure she test drives it first. Then post pics.

I don't know, those are among several questions sent to the seller. It likely would not be her daily driver.

Not unless someone has added them.

It has a 327 transplant, so....it might.

It has a 327 transplant

That alone would be enough to put me off, but YMMV. Good luck with your evaluation and potential purchase in any event. 40's are fun!

Well it has some other issues too, going to try o o look at it next week, but not as interested after seeing some more pictures. Poor patch job on rust, looks like someone was a little happy with the bondo, interior needs....everything, on and on.

I would pass unless your minivan is a beater. Coarse spine birfs, front drum brakes with no auto-adjuster plus everything else.... If you do buy it, make sure to drive in 4 hi at at least 25 mph--I didn't on my old SBC Fj-55 and only later found out that it vibrated horribly in 4H when exceeding 15mph--short front driveshaft causes this if not done right...

All that stuff sounds like heaven to me. But, trust me, the van has its own set of issues. Not true beater status yet, but getting there.
