1980 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 Diesel

Description

The Toyota BJ40 was a diesel-powered member of the Land Cruiser 40-Series lineup, sharing the same body-on-frame construction, solid axles, and dual-range four-wheel-drive system as the more familiar FJ40. Powered by a diesel inline-four and sold primarily in markets outside the United States, the BJ40 represents a less commonly seen variant of Toyota's iconic utility vehicle.

This 1980 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 is powered by a 3.4-liter diesel inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission and a dual-range four-wheel-drive system. Finished in red with a white roll cage and white aftermarket wheels over black upholstery, the truck features custom marine-grade mahogany doors and a matching rear tailgate, a black bikini top, a swing-away spare-tire carrier, and Hankook Dynapro AT-M tires.

According to the seller, the vehicle underwent refurbishment in Spain before being imported to Florida in 2016 and subsequent service work was performed by Caruzn Customs of Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 2017 prior to the seller's acquisition in 2018.

This 1980 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 is now offered with a clean Massachusetts title in the seller’s name.
