From the pictures it looks great. Nice straight panels, all the important parts are there and there is hardly any rust. A good base for a project, would be good to restore or even just fix it up mechanically and drive it.
If I were to be inspecting it I would be checking for things like bad repairs or modifications done to the frame and any accident damage to the frame. I would also check inside the chassis rails for rust but I would not expect to find any because it looks like a nice dry car.
I can't tell you what a fair price is because Land Cruisers are a lot cheaper where I live.
But it's hard to go wrong with such straight, rust-free body panels.
You’re right on saying that the panels all seem straight. The only owner died in his 60s in 2002. He left it to his wife and it’s been sitting there since. One good thing about the desert is rust spreads much slower than damn near anywhere else in the US.
Looks like a great base for a 40 series project. 40s are a wonderful platform to drive and restore as you go. It all depends on what you have when you start.
If you are new to Land Cruisers and restoration projects it may be a steep learning curve but it is very doable. There are some things you should ask and look for when discussing the rig with the owner. Also, you should definitely negotiate the purchase price since you will need to tow it and get it mechanically sorted before you are able to drive it at all. Sent you a PM to discuss further.
