1979 Toyota Land Cruiser Bj40 Diesel on 2040-cars
Dundee, Oregon, United States
Please message me with questions at: mozellemmmenning@ukprint.com .
For sale is this rare 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 Diesel. It was imported from the country of Costa Rica and has
a clean Oregon title where it is located. This BJ40 is a gem; it’s almost impossible to find Diesel cruisers in
this condition and so well preserved. This is an "original condition" vehicle, not a restoration or re-build, which
is even more rare. Original body, metal, motor, steering, brakes, head-liner etc. The paint and seat-door coverings
were new in 2009, but you can see in photos/video top quality.
It was purchased new in 1979 and kept in a garage, only taken out for pleasure cruising and trips around town.
Which such light use, it has 78,000 original kilometers (64,000 Miles). This BJ40 has absolutely no rust or other
signs of deterioration of the body, which is common in these vehicles in any climate. What you see in the photos
and video, is what you see in-person with this vehicle.
The B Diesel motor is known to be a workhorse and nearly indestructible, with fuel-economy of over 20 miles per
gallon. The BJ40 is a manual 4-speed with original steering. The vehicle shifts smoothly and travels straight with
great power. The 4-cylinder motor is made for low end torque climbing and cruising of 45-50 mph. A pioneer stereo
with CD player and new speakers were installed.
It was carefully maintained, up until the day of sale by the original owner. Our trusted mechanic, with years of
experience with these vehicles, did a complete inspection and found a few routine items common in a 37 year-old
vehicle. The following maintenance was done in 2016:
Cleaned motor and injection system and replaced injection heads
Reviewed and changed Glow Plugs
Changed oil and all filters
New belts
Revision and change of rubber seals
Changed primary pump on the clutch and adjusted
New radiator
Cleaning and adjustment of brakes, replaced brake fluid
New battery
Painted top, rack and ladder
Paint was re-done in 2009 in Carnival Red (T-335), inside and out. The paint is clean and professionally done. We
re-painted the vehicle top, rack and ladder in original white. This is a vehicle that doesn’t come along very
often. On June 18th, we entered into the Seaside, Oregon Car Show and won the "Founders Award". If you have been
waiting to find that near perfect Diesel Land Cruiser, then your wait is over!

Toyota Prius owners targeted by tire-slashing VA vandal
Wed, 24 Jul 2013Toyota Prius owners aren't bad folks. With a few exceptions, they're just normal people that appreciate the comfortable, high-mileage hybrid. Someone in Arlington, Virginia doesn't see it that way, though, as 14 examples (and one Smart) had at least one tire slashed last Sunday night.
The serial tire-slasher didn't any items from the vehicles, but he or she has left owners with substantial bills and sour dispositions. According to a report from ABC affiliate WJLA, some citizens are considering the matter a hate crime.
Despite the targeting of Toyota hybrids and the acquisition of one fingerprint, police have been unable to make any arrests, as the slasher has targeted vehicles across the county. Take a look at the local news report from WJLA below.
Two new RWD Toyota sports cars to join FR-S?
Fri, 09 Aug 2013Toyota as we know it could become a thing of the past. According to Australian site Car Advice, the Japanese brand known for bland cruisers like the Camry and Corolla is preparing to bring two new rear-drive cars to market that would slot above and below the Scion-badged FR-S. This is very, very good news.
Car Advice spoke to the GT86/FR-S' chief engineer, Tatsuya Tada, who claimed, "Akio Toyoda always says to me, Toyota sports car [family] should be three sports car brothers. 86 is in the middle." The oldest "brother" would be the spiritual successor to the Supra, even if it doesn't wear that name. Tada is in charge of that project, while a sub-GT86 project is being headed-up elsewhere.
Tada refused to comment on names (CA specifically mentions MR2 and Celica) for the new small car, but did say that, "Yes it is rear-wheel drive and that's Toyota's strong position - Toyota sports car must be rear-wheel drive." Perhaps the juiciest bit of information obtained from Tada's interview with Car Advice was his hinting that both new sports cars would be joint ventures, like the GT86/FR-S/Subaru BRZ triplets. Tada wouldn't say who Toyota was in bed with on the smaller model, but did mention that the Supra would be a product of the world's largest automaker's partnership with BMW.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
