Hello everyone!!! I am the current owner of this FJ5 bird that this post is about. I wanted to come on here and thank everyone for helping me to find Randy. We talked last night for about 45 minutes about the car. I have owned it for more than 21 years and recently finished it's restoration. It is hard to believe after all of that time I just now found out so much more about it!!
Anyway, thanks again for helping me find him and his contact info.
If anyone may remember the car from the Carrolton,TX area in the early 70's please let me know about that also. That is where Randy said it was from originally. He is going to try and find out more for me on it's history before he bought it. He also said that the original owner used it as a road car as he was a traveling salesman so it may have been seen though out Texas in it's first few years on the planet.
