I purchased this from a mud member a few years ago and spent the last few years replacing the motor and going through it. Been driving it for the past few months and it is a blast. One of my favorite land cruisers I've owned or built, truly one of a kind.

1986 LEFT HAND DRIVE BJ70 with 1HD-FT
Completely built BJ70 hardtop with every extra you could ever want for a landcruiser. An absolute unicorn - not only a super short hardtop BJ70 model, but also Left Hand Drive, 12volt, 1HD-FT swapped, Cable lockers, PTO winch, etc.
1HD-FT Engine - this motor was swapped by Fit Garage in 2025. It starts, idles and runs like new.
The motor was gone through with ACL bottom end bearings, all seals, gaskets, a rebuilt injection pump by Oregon Fuel Injection. The turbo was upgraded with a G-Turbo, along with an intercooler from PDI Australia. A Torfab Diesel Airbox was also added.
The motor is monitored both by a fully functioning gauge cluster(swapped and rebuilt for new motor) and Auber gauges to monitor Boost, EGT Temps, Oil Pressure and Coolant temp. Over $20K invested into the motor and associated parts.
A brand new factory 1HZ motor harness was swapped in with the motor. The engine bay looks and is wired as factory.
Clutch is a heavy duty Aisin kit with 300mm flywheel.
CABLE LOCKING DIFFERENTIALS - swapped from HJ61 - front and rear full float. Indicator lights on dash cluster work with lockers.
H55F + Tcase
Factory PTO Winch - working
Scheel-Mann Vario F seats on factory SUSPENSION SEAT BASES
SSR AUSWUCH FORGED 16x9.5 Wheels + Nitto 35x11.50r16
Old Man Emu Suspension
FrontRunner Rack + Rear Table
Apple CarPlay Pioneer Stereo + new front speakers.
The frame is 100% rust free. The body shows well but has been repainted - the body has lived a good life for 40+ years and shows accordingly.
Asking 55K. I am into in almost that much.
The price is negotiable, especially if wheels/seats removed.
Cluster shows 28,xxx. Actual chassis mileage unknown.

Located in Bend OR, can ship anywhere. Clean Title in hand.
