    I bought it. It’s a pile of disassembled shit, but I bought it. 1974 American General FJ-8A light duty delivery vehicle.

    People usually turn them into ice cream or food trucks. Sasha Baron Cohen drove one in Borat (his was an 80’s reissue).

    No fresh pics yet as it’s still dark out and I didn’t get it home until it was dark last night.

    It was a tweakers toy for a while I guess. A lot of self-created and unfinished problems they left for me to attend to... put the gas tank back in, look into the carb, a battery and a starter would be nice, rerun some lengths of several spliced wires. The back door is completely missing...

    And get this, my insurance said “nope”. The right hand drive / delivery nature of the vehicle will require commercial insurance or a classic policy from a place such as Haggerty’s.

    Already a few hurdles, but friends and surprisingly my father are stoked to work on it so all is good.
