1977 Toyota LandCruiser BJ40 BJ 40 diesel 4-speed European spec. Great condition

Selling my much loved BJ40 Landcruiser Diesel. Originally sold in Luxembourg Europe. (has heat. no air. also has power brakes)
 Clean Arizona title in my name. Well maintained BJ40 with 57000 Kilometers on the clock. I assume this is correct looking at how tight the car feels on the road and how accurate it shifts into it's gears. Clutch feels like new. It drives tight and has always had it's yearly roadworthy inspection. first in Luxembourg and later in it's (mostly garaged) life in The Netherlands where I obtained her. These road tests are very strict. all rubber underneath the car such as fuel and brake hoses. boots and mounts must be in good condition to pass. There can be no play in joints. bearings and steering system.

 The previous owner bought her to haul wood out of a forest and the occasional bay of hay for his horse. He did this a few times and then stored the BJ for about 7 years until he decided to sell it due to the changed road-tax laws in The Netherlands. (now this BJ is no longer tax exempt. as it's not 40 years old yet)

I have driven it all over with much pleasure. in Holland and in the USA. It cruises fine at speeds up to 60 MPH. even with the terrain tires. It will go faster. but I'd install different tires for that. Chevrolet wheels fit by the way. The wheels on it are the original wheels that can be taken apart to change the inner tube. (in case you're stuck in the Sahara with a flat tire by yourself)
The top comes off. I never did that though. It's quite the job. lots of bolts.
The engine runs very well and has plenty of power. Very torqy famous 4-cylinder Toyota diesel that gets around 27-28MpG all around. I measured by distance and fuel used. as the odometer is in Kilometers and a tad off because of the huge wheels. (when doing 110 on the clock. you're cruising 57 on the GPS)

4 wheel drive works flawless. and so does the immensely powerful winch that is driven by the engine. (on the transfer case)

Paint is of good driver quality. It shines up great but is not show quality. I get lots of compliments though. There are a few nickle sized dents in the hood.
 I noticed a rust spot on the passenger wheel well and 2 quarter size spots under the driver seat. on the passenger door jamb is rust beginning to show. This is an older restoration so expect imperfections in the paint. There is also rust on the rear cargo doors. and I have bought two new doors that will be included in the sale. All in all. for a 37 year old landcruiser the body is in great shape. and so is the undercarriage.

Seats are not original but they are very comfortable Recaro seats. The radio does work but is not hooked up as it's a 24 volts system and I'm not sure how that works. All lights etc work. only the interior light above the driver seat doesn't. One of the 3 horn buttons on the steering wheel does not function.

Bid with confidence on this great fun cruiser. Ready for work or play or just to drive it for fun like I did. Be sure you can afford it prior to bidding!
