1977 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 Diesel Frame-Off Restoration-Photos in Description

1977 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 Diesel Restored FJ40 Fj45 Additional Info:

Complete frame-off restoration! The donor vehicle was a 1977 BJ40 Toyota Landcruiser with only 1 owner and 29,000 km. The engine still has the factory original B Diesel sticker. I have the documentation from the previous owner that will go with the sale. The restoration took three months to complete, with three guys working on the vehicle full-time. The vehicle was taken down to the frame and stripped to bare metal. From there it received a top-notch restoration. Every piece of this BJ40 has been touched, and replaced with mostly Toyota OEM and NOS parts. All nuts and bolt have been replaced. All efforts were made to make this car original, from the Factory correct Toyota Dune Beige Paint Code 416, to the color and stitching of the seats, to the wheels. The Firestone tires still have the stickers and knobs on them. Custom molded floor mats were made for both the front and rear of the Land Cruiser. Restoration photos below.
Not only is this the diesel version of the FJ40, which Toyota never imported into the US, it will average at about 25-27mpg. Easy cruising speed of 65mph. These bullet proof engines will last forever and this is arguably the greatest 4x4 offroad vehicle ever created. There are only a handful of BJ40s in this frame-off restored condition here in the states, especially left hand-drive. As you can see in the pictures, this BJ40 looks like it just rolled off the factory floor. Clean US title, and the vehicle is located about 45 minutes from Philadelphia in Hockessin, Delaware and I encourage interested buyers to come see and drive the cruiser.
