69FJWagon Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 so I have been toying with the idea of selling my wagon without the engine or transmission just dont know what to ask??? here are a few things that it has: Troys fully adjustable LCA and T/C rods and steering kit 4 wheel Wilwood disk brakes 12" rotors front 11.5 rear steel braided brake lines and 7/8" bore MC clean interior will come with black RX7 seat newish carpet dont know if it would be sold with the Panasports or Rota RBs (both 16x7 +22) REAL leather wrapped Nardi steering wheel and proper hub adapter clean exterior some little spots of surface rust and the hatch has a bit of repair work done to it that I didnt notice when I bought it factory drivers and passanger side mirrors 2.5" exhaust with Borla muffler (SS) 510 struts with coilovers and 250# springs with Koni sport adjustable inserts custom valved rear coilovers (using as shocks no springs) flipped lower leafspring and lowering blocks with 4* pinion angle Dobi airdamwith I know its only worth what someone will pay for it but as it sits without engine or transmission I have close to $9K into it if not more, What do you think? be honest but dont be an ass about it PLEASE located in Norcal SF bay area Link to comment
DISLEXICDIME Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 why not just leave the fj in and sell it? It will go faster. or put the fj in the 620 and take the l20 from the 620 and put it in the wagon and sell it. Link to comment
datzenmike Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Troys fully adjustable LCA and T/C rods and steering kit 4 wheel Wilwood disk brakes 12" rotors front 11.5 rear steel braided brake lines and 7/8" bore MC dont know if it would be sold with the Panasports or Rota RBs (both 16x7 +22) REAL leather wrapped Nardi steering wheel and proper hub adapter I know its only worth what someone will pay for it but as it sits without engine or transmission I have close to $9K into it if not more, What do you think? be honest but dont be an ass about it PLEASE I believe you when you say 9K into it, unfortunately Datsuns aren't money in the bank where, when we are done with them we can just cash them in and take our money back. For one thing all the new parts are now used and if sold would not get the purchase price. It's a bitch but there it is. I find (as a rule) when selling, you are lucky to get 2/3 what you put into it. The missing 1/3 is an enjoyment tax if you will. In extremely rare cases you might find someone who is looking for exactly what you have done to the car and even more rare has the money for it too. This person isn't interested in building and just wants an instant rocket ship ride and or status upgrade. That person may give you closer to what you have invested in it. Now back to the car, minus the motor transmission and wheels and tires doesn't leave much in addition to the disc brakes and some front suspension parts. The body appears to be very nice and a good start for a project. Can I assume it has zx struts? Lowered? Any other things that would increase the body value that you haven't listed?? 1 Link to comment

71DIMER Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 For those too lazy to actually 'click' on them! :P Link to comment
NICKLE&DIME Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Nice wagon, Like Mike says "enjoyment tax" is Right. Love the color Link to comment
jun Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 I've always admired this wagon. The powerplant is dreamy, but everything else is very nice as well. If you're keeping the FJ, find an inexpensive L motor and throw it in there and sell it as a running wagon. I think many people would consider a non-running car a parts car, and would expect it to be priced as that. Link to comment

Thanks Jun coming from you its very flatering considering you have one of the nicest wagons Ive seen in pictures I have a couple options that I can toy with if I wanted to throw an L series in there. Like I said I am just testing the waters and see what people though Clayton Link to comment
