I have had this since 2009 and rarely drove it, and now I need the space and have a toddler that is years from being able to ride in it. I advertised it before but ended up changing my mind and having it shipped to NC when I moved. Prior to my owning it, it was in Portland, Oregon, for 2 years, then with its original owner in Australia. This is an incredibly fun, tough truck in good condition that turns heads wherever it goes. Engine is B series 2977cc, 3L, 85hp, inline 4 cylinder. Not fast (will go about 65mph on the flat) but fuel efficient (probably about 25mph) and powerful low-end torque - can crawl up anything. The body is in good shape, and I've done a few thousand $ worth of body work on it, but it does have some superficial rust, particularly at bottom of left side door and floorboard. New clutch and front brakes in 2010, fuel injectors cleaned and calibrated in 2012. Blows some white smoke at startup which diesel mechs have told me is normal. Doesn't seem to smoke any other time. It flipped 100,000 km (about 62,000 miles) a couple years ago and I don't think I've driven more than 1000 miles since then. The odometer, however, got stuck on 100,000km, so it no longer works. I will consider reasonable offers. Asking $19,900 $18,500. Link to craigslist ad for pics: 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 Diesel
