1978 Toyota Land Cruiser Bj40 Fj40 - Diesel Engine, Excellent Restoration!!!!!!! on 2040-cars

Description:

You are looking at a beautiful 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 Diesel that has been excellently restored to original quality.  It is orange and has had a recent exterior paint job with newly upholstered interior.  This BJ40 comes with the original three (3) person front seats and the larger rear two (2) person jump seats for a total passenger capacity of seven (7) people.

This BJ40 comes with new tires and original style rims, and halogen headlamps.  Installed on each bumper are the oem bumper rubber knobs and rear Toyota mud flaps.  It comes with full size rear mounted spare tire with matching rim and an original roof rack and ladder that is extremely rare and very hard to find.

This BJ40 has the upgraded 3B Series 3500cc Toyota 4 cylinder diesel Inline engine. The underbody is in excellent shape and the suspension has been maintained to original standard and it stable and true at any cruising speed.

There is no rust on this vehicle and all panels have been upgraded with higher gage metal using the original Toyota factory molds which are still in use in CR!

This BJ40 is originally from Costa Rica and was restored in Costa Rica where FJ/HJ45s and FJ/BJ40s are common and plentiful, although not in this excellent condition.  It currently sits at my home in Costa Rica and will be headed to Miami, via shipping container, shortly after the end of the auction to be completely processed and imported pursuant to EPA and DOT regulations (exempt due to 25+ years old).  The BJ40 will be registered in Florida and the winning bidder will receive a clean Florida title when the transaction is completed.

I travel on an average of once a month to Costa Rica to scout for restoration candidates and have them either restored to original condition (20 footers), or have the 40s/45s restored (frame-off) to better than original condition and in showroom quality when the right candidate is found (perfect at any distance).  This BJ40 is in excellent shape and a real head turner!

This is not the FJ40 (gasoline) but rather the BJ40 (diesel) and is very rare in the US in any condition and very hard to find in this condition!

Bid with confidence!  We have 100% feedback and you will not be disappointed.  This BJ40 represents and excellent investment and value at the offering price given its condition and installed upgrades!

Since eBay will only let me place a maximum of 24 pictures on the listing, I have included a link below to our Flickr account where you can see even more high-resolution pictures of this awesome BJ40.  I have other FJ/BJ/HJ 40/45 trucks for sale that you can also see, which are in very nice, original, and/or frame-off restoration quality.  I also have an impeccable FJ40 that has also undergone a complete frame-off restoration with every bolt and component removed, and that one is priced in the high 40s and worth every penny and is by far the nicest FJ40 anywhere and also in true collector's museum quality condition.
