I hate to be listing this, and I hate to potentially sell it. But, putting this up here for now, to see if anyone is interested before I either source parts and repair head gasket myself, or drop a 3B in. At this point in the year, I honestly don't really have time to deal with this. so if someone wants to pick up now where I left off, fine. If not, then I'll get'er done myself.
So, this is a temporary, as-is, offer.
The truck:
1977 BJ40, Build Date 11/1977. All stock, all original. JDM, imported from the south part of Japan.
Certified original 60,000km approx 37,000 miles
B Engine
4 Speed Transmission
Front bumper winch
24v system
Heat / Radio / Etc. This isn't a stripped down BJ40 like the ones from Central America, this one that was sold at a Toyota Dealership in Japan.
60/40 Front Bench. New upholstery on bench seat.
Original Toyota Rubber floor mat
The vehicle speaks for itself, no rust/corrosion, super straight body, factory example. Any motivated individual could turn this into an amazing rig.
Head gasket aside, everything works wonderfully.
The cons:
A blown head gasket. This happened recently and unexpectedly, due to leaking radiator and torn radiator cap/neck which went unnoticed on my last road trip until it was too late, because I am an idiot. I have since purchased a new oem radiator which will be included.
Rear view mirror fell out of the housing and cracked - will need new mirror.
Tires should be replaced with newer ones.
Missing landcruiser badging above front wheels.
Priced as is $22,000, firm. Rig is located in Portland, OR.
