Tough question, but keeping within your criteria of similar monetary value I can't think of anything I would trade for anything. All of them are labors of love for me...
1974 Toyota FJ40. I dont have any pics on this pc but this was the first car I ever did a frame-off restoration and its my proudest piece. It has faults and its not perfect, but I did everything on it. Complete. I love it and it makes my heart pound every time I get in it. Here's come specs:
1947 FJ 1.5. Why 1.5? it has the original early case and bottom but has the newer oil passages and filter passages including the modern filter. Later heads. That's how it came from the factory, a true mix of 73 and 74.
300+ thousand miles on the bottom end, now rebuilt.
DUI HEI dizzy
New Radiator
Painless (painful) new electrics
2Xlocking compartments. Back under bench seats has 400w amp
Detroit locker in rear
33" mickey thompson muds on 15" american racing aluminum 2-pieces
Old Man Emu shocks & steering stabilizer.
CCOT 4" extended shackles
other stuff i forget about. cd player. full body cage. harneses... supra front buckets...extended transmission breathers...spare. tow hook and wiring...
I did the steel, lead, filler and paintwork. I am really proud of it.
1983 SC race car...started as a HK-delivered 1983SC. Came to me through Melbourne as it was imported from its original owner in 2005 to Australia. I met the second owner who intended to turn it into a track-dedicated toy until he suffered a serious crash. He could no longer drive and sold to me.
I did a bunch of mods, pretty well documented on other pages on Pelican. Again, I did almost everything but this time put the paintwork to the pros at Zag.
1971 Targa updated with 3.0 and front coilovers, other bits....I am still awaiting this one to come off the boat so won't be trading it any time soon...
