Land Cruiser BJ70 Diesel, via WCXC

This right-hand drive, 1985 Land Cruiser BJ70 diesel was reportedly imported to the United States last year. The current owners cleaned up some small rust spots and gave the truck a respray. This looks like a nice truck.

According to the ad, the truck runs a 3.4-liter, 3B diesel engine, mated to an H55F, 5-speed transmission, and a 2-speed transfer case. The factory PTO winch with new cable is a bonus. It’s cover about 130k miles (although the speedometer reads in km/h).

This Land Cruiser can be found at Sun Valley Auto Club in Sun Valley, Idaho. The asking price is just a hair under $20k.

Lots of photos after the jump.

Spotted: Land Cruiser BJ70 Diesel

April 24, 2013 //

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.

Spotted: 2-Door Land Cruiser 70-series Diesel

February 13, 2013 //

LX
Here’s a rare, and last minute, Spotted post. I just came across this ebay. It’s a 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser 70-series, 2-door, diesel in LX trim.

The 70-series was, and is, a highly capable branch of the Land Cruiser family tree that was never imported into the US. It was so capable, in fact, that Scott Brady chose the 4-door 70-series for his Expeditions 7 around the world trip. The seller doesn’t state where this one started it’s life. Canada is my guess, given that the mileage is in kilometers but the steering is on the left.

The mileage is getting up there at about 272k kms (169k miles), and there is a bit of rust and the odd tear in the seat. But for someone interested in a rare, diesel, Land Cruiser, I imagine this would be quite a find.

The vehicle is listed on ebay in South Carolina with a current bid of only $8,700. If you’re interested, jump on it. There are only four hours left in the auction, which currently has 32 bids.

Update 2/13/2013: Bidding for this rare Land Cruiser topped out at $11,600.
