This is a S55 (1980) Land Cruiser BJ-41 Japan domestic model. This Cruiser is in good condition. The body has a little surface rust which is showed in the pictures. The undercarriage shows no extreme rust either. This Cruiser was coated with a rust inhibitor inside the panels which you can see in the pictures near the seams. Many people do this in Japan to preserve their vehicles and keep them from rusting through. It was registered in Chiba, which is about 1 hour east of Tokyo, and was registered and driven until the last inspection expired last month. The driver seat was replaced with a bucket and the rears replaced with a bench. I do not have the originals. Engine runs smooth and everything is functioning from the turning signals to the A/C. There is a fuel leak where the fuel line meets the engine at about 1 drip per 20 seconds. It looked like a gasket where the line bolted in was bad, but I did not have the time to fix so I’m disclosing. It has 17,000 km on the odometer; however it could not be verified because Japan does have the same car tracking as the U.S. However many vehicles in Japan have very low kilometers so it’s not far fetched, but since I can’t verify it I will leave it at that. You could verify this with a compression check but I am not basing price on the mileage. If this was a 17,000 km (less than 10,000 mi) garage queen i would be selling for $40,000 like the other guys! This Cruiser is an easy project for someone who doesn't want to pay top dollar for a restored cruiser, wants something unique, and wants to drive. This Cruiser is fully operation, over 30 years old so easy to register and ready to drive. Contact me for any questions and happy bidding! Cheers
