This gorgeous, restored 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ45 long bed pickup looks better than new. It’s said to have traveled 53,000 miles since new. Much has been replaced and it features a new Warn winch. Bring a Trailer notes that it came from the factory with Air conditioning and power steering, two desirable options. A 4-spd manual and the Toyota 2F, inline six round out the specs.

The truck is located in Montana. Bidding currently stands at $39,800 with about 5 days on the clock.

Update 4/29/2013: The seller seems to have ended the auction early and sold the truck offline.

Spotted: Land Cruiser BJ70 Diesel For Sale

BJ70_7
I spotted this rare, Land Cruiser BJ70 on the Expo forums the other day. It’s listed as having a turbocharged, 2.4-liter diesel and the photos show a manual transmission. It looks to be in great shape. The seller doesn’t list the build year or the mileage but does mention that it was legally imported from Japan in 2005. Other features that can be gleaned from the photos: snorkel, ARB bumper, winch, over-sized tires, roof rack and brush deflectors.

The word on the Expo forum is that this seller has sold other 70-series on occasion and so trading in rare Land Cruisers may be a business or hobby for him.

The asking price is $18,500 and the vehicle is located in Atlanta, GA. To contact the seller find his phone number on the Craigslist ad. More photos after the jump.

For more research on the 70-series Land Cruiser, check out the Toyota Vehicle Heritage site, Wikipedia, or this page.

Here’s a rarity, in the U.S. at least, a factory, diesel Toyota 4×4 pickup. The owner states that this left-hand drive truck was imported directly from Japan in 1984 as a new vehicle, not a grey market one, and is California and EPA compliant.

It sports a normally-aspirated 2.4L diesel, 5-spd. manual transmission, solid axles, recent engine work (rings, timing belt, etc.) and OME suspension. Another rarity: it is otherwise stock. On the downside, the seller states that the bed needs to be replaced because of rust. The interior looks decent but dirty.

Mileage is not listed. The asking price is $8,900 and the truck is located in San Francisco.

Spotted: Clean Toyota 4×4 Pickup

While driving around the Pacific Northwest last week, looking at boats, we spotted this nice, mid-1990s Toyota 4×4 Pickup. I don’t know anything about it except that it looks clean and stock. For a nearly 20-year-old Toyota 4×4, that’s saying something.

The other interesting thing is that it’s located in Point Roberts, an odd little little piece of Washington state that’s connected to Canada, instead of the rest of the United States. The only way to get to this 4-square-mile hamlet, with its own border crossing, is to drive through our neighbor to the north or take a boat.

If you’re interested in the truck, the number’s on the windshield. I posted another picture and a map after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »

Here’s how they do it.
