1985 Toyota Bandeirante

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

The 1985 Toyota Bandeirante stands as one of the most fascinating chapters in automotive history — a Brazilian-built descendant of the iconic Land Cruiser, born from an unlikely partnership between Toyota and the Brazilian military government.

Introduced in Brazil in 1968, the Bandeirante (Portuguese for "pioneer" or "explorer") was based on the 40-Series Toyota Land Cruiser platform. By 1985, it had evolved into a rugged, utilitarian workhorse powered by a Mercedes-Benz OM 314 diesel engine — a pragmatic choice driven by local manufacturing arrangements. This four-cylinder engine delivered modest power but exceptional reliability in Brazil's demanding terrain.

Produced exclusively by Toyota do Brasil, the Bandeirante was never officially sold outside South America. After a long run, the line was discontinued in 2001, leaving behind a legacy as Brazil's own rugged legend, serving farmers, government agencies, and rural communities with equal dedication

This refurbished 1985 Toyota Bandeirante has been refinished in green paint with a white top and grille. The functional tan vinyl interior includes patterned upholstery and a center console.

This Bandeirante is now offered at no reserve by the selling dealer with a clean Florida title.
