Complete newbie here so not sure I can get away with starting a thread...but any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Looked at a 1985 FJ60 today, second owner (a mechanic, seems like he's working on a variety of projects), and interior/exterior-wise everything looks outstanding (very minor rust spots near the gas door). The price is reasonable, but the downside is that it's already at 380k miles on the original engine. Drove it around (highway and town, it's SoCal) and everything seemed copacetic, but would appreciate any guidance here.
I know these are workhorses, but am I a fool to think this will keep on running?
