Definitely rare but looks quite used. That and ads which say 'rust free' in the title and then state where the rust is in the description make me wonder. If this is an aussie vehicle that has had any beach time then theres going to be more than just a patina on the springs.

Since this is an Ebay link and not somebodies personal ad I doubt this will bother anybody....
Specter Off-Road has a LHD 12HT with PTO winch and cable lockers for $17.5k.

I count 10 diesel 60-series Cruisers on Ebay Australia right now. Price ranges from $2,000-12,000. A lot of those listed have the 12HT and there is even a 12HT motor for sale on Ebay for $5,000ish. Shipping from Oz to the West Coast will run ya in the $3-4k range.
And that is just what I cam up with in under 5 minutes without even searching TradeMe in New Zealand.
While I think the Aussie Cruiser for sale on Ebay and linked above is a cool truck, If I was serious about buying one I would look else where. The truck at Specter looks to be a better buy with more bling and it is LHD.
For some reason people think once it is imported the price goes up $5-10k! Shipping costs are not usually recoverable, it is a loss you take when you import a truck. Kind of like mods you do to a truck.
my 2 cents

Well it is a snap to register in my state. If I was after one and had the coin I would look long and hard at that truck. And perhaps since they have had for awhile it could be had for less.
Doubtful. Its over 25 year old and its a diesel so no CA smog. There shouldn't be any problems getting it regietered here. My guess is its a) the rust b) the year and c) the use. If that thing has been all over the world, then its probably well worn.

I went looking and didn't find any on eBayOz with a 12H-T except a 1982 which was swapped in. Looking at US government regs, it appears you can't or at least not easily import a vehicle that doesn't have its original engine in it. So that one's out. Other than that I saw a turbo 2H and bunch of regular 2Hs but no original 12H-Ts. 12V HJ61s are uncommon even in AUS.
Personally, I love RHD. It's what sets it apart, people go nuts for them and they are a hoot to drive. But then I have a Troopy, BJ42LX, BJ74, etc. I'm used to them. So fun to drive!

Not true. I know at least two people who are sitting on diesel cruisers that have been banned from CA. The BAR looks it up in a book. It has to be from North America and have the original equipment.
A diesel swap titled in another state as a diesel would import without any trouble, as would an imported diesel that was titled as a diesel in Canada or another state. The key is that it has to be titled as a diesel. Many states don't include the fuel type on their titles.
Sorry for the hijack, in any case.

"banned from CA"........how so?
if you're bringing a diesel cruiser into CA from out of country then it's next to impossible to get them reg'd. even if they are more than 25 years old. but they can be brought into other states easily and then into CA.

Bumpity lumps.
The VIN gets into the DMV system and marked as gray market. Ask Portuguese Joe, he has at least two that are banned.
bump - just a couple days left at ebay (till Sunday it appears). I'd be interested to see the truck and see / hear what a 12H-T feels like. Could there be something stronger than a 3FE with 218K?
is this the 2H you were referring too? Toyota : Land Cruiser Toyota : Land Cruiser | eBay
I ask b/c i'm interested in buying a 60's TD and considering both of these.. but for the life of me can not figure out what the differences are between the two!!... i researched the FAQ's LIT section as well elsewhere. maybe b/c there are smthn like 2500 different types of the 60 series, add the lack of visual info and I'm new to LC's...
Nice HJ 61 ! May I ask the reason for selling?
