I have no affiliation with the seller, but for 1200$, thought it was worth sharing here. Titles or no titles seems like there is quite a bit to be had in this lot.

That looks like an aladdins cave of parts for FJ owners across the USA.

Surely there's someone on here who could be the custodian of all of those parts and get at least one nice bike out of the whole pile for their $1200.

As group, we owe it to ourselves to make sure that these don't go the way of the dump, or languish in someone's barn while another rider needs difficult to source parts.

Randy/Robert - how about RPM ? - You could probably sort one bike and get all your money back, slowly over time refurbish/rebuild another, or the carb sets - and offer a fast exchange service for people with blocked up carbs. Again, sort out the bodywork, check and catalogue the parts and make sure you have parts available  for people maybe anting to do slight upgrades (3CV/3XX fork/wheel set for a 1TX upgrade, with later rear wheel too).

Maybe I'm dreaming, but for less than £1000 I'd be all over than in an instant if it were here in the U.K.

I was sorely tempted to jump on this, but the truth is I'm more keen on riding than mechanizing. Sure, I think its a super deal for the right builder; RPM and giantkiller spring to mind. Without paperwork you stand a chance of lowering the asking price further potentially; its only existing owners who would use the parts or chase the DMV.

Someone is looking at them today - I'm on hold until then for some stuff I made an offer on ...
