This rare Land Cruiser is none other than a 1978 BJ40 with the legendary B3 engine. There are only a small amount of these in the US and even fewer in as supreme original condition as this one. This looks like the FJ40, but has a diesel engine. Anyone who knows and understands the 40 series Toyota Land Cruisers, realizes that the 1978 BJ40 is one of the most sought after Cruisers. And this one won't disappoint. There are 94k original miles. There is NO RUST and NO LEAKS. It is a very complete, near original Cruiser. As the photos show, this BJ40 hasn't been altered and is in very nice near original condition. It starts easy, runs exceptional, and has additional shocks to make for a smoother ride. It has the rare back seats with seat belts and the double front seat, plus driver seat. This BJ is truly stunning and turns heads everywhere it goes! This type of vehicle is just not found. I just had the cruiser newly painted. Everything works correctly. Doors shut tightly, don't squeak, or rattle. I have downloaded a video showing the cruiser running and around the whole body. You can find the video here. l will include free shipping to your door anywhere in the 48 continental US. New parts on the vehicle are: Full tune up Paint Tires(fairly new) Shocks Side mirror GOOD LUCK BIDDING. If you have any questions please call 920-472-4678.

The reason I painted it was because it was painted an off green color, and I wanted to get it back to the original 1978 color. So to confirm NO RUST ORIGINAL, NO BONDO.On Feb-23-13 at 05:15:26 PST, seller added the following information:I also have a full set of pictures of the frame, so you can see it is also completely RUST FREE, and has not been painted. Message me if you would like to see them.On Feb-25-13 at 04:37:20 PST, seller added the following information:YES the cruiser is from Costa Rica. There are no BJ40s in the US that were not brought recently from Latin America, because back then the US didn't allow them to be imported. I have successfully been bringing BJ40s to the US for the past 4 years to private collectors. It is an easy process and the cruisers get a title once they arrive in Miami.
