Engine look familiar?

This might be very old news to some but it's the first time I've seen an Italian FJ.

If your interested you will have to navigate the way yourself to the YB5 section on the following link due to lack of direct link.

It's a fair slab of writing but I personally found it quite interesting.

Cheers, Ben.

Yep, very cool.... someone put one up for sale on the board a couple years ago. Be a bitch to get body parts for these days.

It'd make a helluva cool 'fighter, though.

It's been a bitch to get body parts for my '85 for a few years now.  Wish I had panic bought a few pieces.

Yeah, works for me this am, too.  Maybe they just had a glitch.            :scratch_one-s_head:

I seriously considered buying one of those at Vintage Motorcycle Days a few years ago.  It was on the rough side, though.

Use Google Chrome and there is a translate button on top of the page.  Then all will be clear.  They are talking about the year, mileage, warranty, contact info, etc.....

No Chrome zone here.
