About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

Good interior. Small dents in the hood. Cheap, uneven respray. Quickly undercoated chassis. Some light scratches in the glass. Chromed grille surround is incorrect. A mostly sound driver with a bad paint job. With the Mercedes engine and the metric instruments, it's probably one of the Brazilian-built Land Cruisers.

Market commentary

Central and South America seems to have an endless supply of Land Cruisers, and a cottage industry freshening them to serve up to the nearly insatiable apparent appetite for them in the US. More seems to have been spent on the panel-rattling sound system than on the Land Cruiser itself. This is by any measure an inexpensive BJ40, which it deserves to be.
