Stopped in at the hot rod shop where I’ve got a car being worked on and they had a pretty different custom that had arrived. If you had told me this was a C&W star’s car I don’t think I would have believed it. It was his car and the most interesting thing about it was a factory record player. Plays thin vinyl 45’s and has a stacker next to it to hold multiples. Times have changed a bit…

There’s also a mighty fine early Icon converted V-8 FJ 45 there for sale.

I remember watching Buck Owens when he had a tv show airing from Bakersfield,Ca back in the 60's and early 70's.

Cool car.

If I’m ever wealthy I’ll own an Fj like that.

Call Jim @ Mid-Cities Classics, https://www.midcitiesclassics.com/ he's repairing it for the owner, not selling, but can provide a number. It's all fresh as it sat up for a long time without running, which is why it's there. I'm pretty sure it's $50k+, very much in-line with what custom late 60's/early 70's SUV's are going for, plus it's an early Icon, so that helps a bit. The owner also has a '32 I think it is, flatty custom that didn't run for 12 years also being fixed.
