UPDATE 9/5/2019: ASKING PRICE: $37,000 (AS-IS)
Please read my comments in 9/5/2019 post below.
=================================
Hi folks, I have been following mud for a long time but don't post frequently. Wanted to introduce my BJ45 Troopy as I am thinking about selling it and need some guidance on valuation and whether to put it on Ebay/BaT or Hemmings, Craigslist (or any other option). I want to post it here as well. It is JDM, purchased overseas, great survivor and solid frame/body to begin with, got it lightly restored (not frame-off) and imported. Countless hours of hard work and effort went into it over all. Wouldn't be selling if I didn't have something else to replace it!
Hope it finds a great home. Pictures below.
- 1984 BJ45
- VIN# BJ45-004841
- 3B diesel 3.4L
- 4 speed H41
- RHD
- Power steering
- A/C (working, R134a)
- Locking hubs / ASIN
- Custom Soft top (new, never used) with bows, soft top doors and jerry can carrier
- New upholstery and carpets
- Tire carrier
- Solid, no accidents
- Imported last year in August 2018
- Garage queen since then and driven about 500 miles / 800 km
- NO leaks from engine, transmission, differentials etc. (except minor leak from P/S. See known issues below)
- 136,329 KM ( = 84,710 miles)
- Virginia Registered
- Antique tags
- Located in Norther VA / DC area.
- Clean title in hand
RECENT WORK DONE:
I had a reputable Land Cruiser specialty shop thoroughly go through the entire vehicle with following work done last month.
- New fluids all around (engine, transmission, transfer case, differentials, steering)
- New Anti freeze coolant
- Brakes checked and adjusted
- All belts checked
- All electrical system checked
- New fuel filter and hand primer pump
- Under-carriage (frame / body) restored with thorough deep cleaning, rubberized undercoating and chassis black satin finish (Axle, leaf springs and other mechanical components not painted)
KNOWN ISSUES:
- Speedometer stopped working since last 100 miles/160 km approximately due to broken speedo cable diagnosed by the shop. All other gauges work including fuel, amps, temp, oil.
- Very minute leak from power steering.
- Suspension okay with absolutely no drive/ride issues. It may need new shocks / bushings at some point.
