Hello everyone.
I am planning on importing and selling my 1978 BJ diesel back to the US. It was fully restored and built in Costa Rica, and I have had a blast driving it all around the country. I am putting this thread out as a “feeler”.. on if it is worth sending back to the US to sell or if I should keep it here as an extra car as a travel back and forth from New Jersey a few times a year.
As you will see from the pictures, the truck was tastefully modified. I am still in contact with the local Tico, a fellow car enthusiast/restorer, and will update the ad with exact specs of the build soon, but I know a lot of the drivetrain, diffs, etc were beefed up, as well as the suspension obviously.. but I will get specifics.
Motor was rebuilt about 1000km ago. New bearings, rings, valves, machines head, etc.
I have an idea of what I think the car is worth, but would appreciate responses maybe from those that are a bit more familiar with the US market. Even if you are not interested in purchasing, please respond with your opinion on US market value.
If I move forward with import.. it would be to port in my home state of New Jersey.
Thanks,
Keith
