This is a rare Land Cruiser not sold or easily available in the US. It's a Model LJ78 with five doors, seats seven people, and has a 2.4L Turbo Diesel motor with lots of torque. Drive modes include 2H, 4H, 4L, and lockable front hub. Unique right-hand drive (direct from Japan), it's easy to drive and gets a lot of fun attention. Interior is clean with very minor issues (one bad power window switch, one missing vent control), power windows and door locks, radio, and CD player. Exterior has some mostly minor scratches and a couple door dents, some minor trim problems, some delaminated clear coat, and only a very small amount of rust that's typical but easy to fix. Motor runs strong with no bad smoking. Oil pressure gauge is inop, but engine runs at proper temp. Dual batteries. Very good mileage on diesel fuel. Rear seats split and fold up to sides, all lay flat in the rear for good room. Odometer is true and correct with 92K miles/148K kilometers. Not fast, but cruises decently on the freeway, and is very good off-road. Toyota chose to re-issue the Model 70 for one year in Japan on its 30th anniversary a few years back, and the Land Cruisers Direct company will sell you a comparable one for $16K. Save with this one that's already fully legal and registered in California until June 2019. A little restoration would make this truly one-of-a-kind! Maintenance records and manual (in Japanese...). Surf racks included. Located in San Pedro, California (Los Angeles). $14,500 obo.
