Bottom Lines First. The vehicle needs (by order of magnitude):
1. Body work due to rust.
2. New 265/70R15 tires (current tires have aged-out, not worn out).
3. AC Evaporator replacement or repair (condenser replaced recently).
4. Fuel gauge float stuck and will require pulling, cleaning, resetting. I use the tripometer to monitor fuel status in the meantime and refill when it passes 600 km (=370 miles).
History:
This vehicle has had three owners since 1983. It's first owner, in Kobe, Japan, had it for 26 years. It was sold at auction in 2010 to the import agent from whom I bought it in 2011, and I've owned it since then. Each of the three of us treated it well, and the status of its strong engine and clean interior prove it. Even before I renovated the interior, the original carpet and upholstery were clean, just worn. The headliner is still original. It's never been in a collision (though, if it were, it would win that competition and likely demolish the opponent.)
Kobe is coastal, and 26 years in the salty air there have made keeping up with surface rust a constant monitoring task. I had the exterior stripped, primed, and repainted in 2012; and the rust was held at bay until about two years ago. It's time to do it again. This time, I acquired two un-rusted front doors from salvage since those doors seem to be most susceptible; but there are small rust bubbles now under the paint on fenders and back doors.
I always intended to maintain and retain this truly unique HJ60 and have kept a stock of spare parts to do that well; but I own two other antique vehicles and need to make a choice to down-size simply for the amount of resources, in time and dollars, to be dedicated to each of them.
Attributes:
1. Driven «soft» miles only since 2015 – 3 miles to the office and back a few times a month. Before that, we did a few road trips, and I used it more often to get to work. I've never put it through the mud (I know, some of you reading this will think that's a shame).
2. Upholstery and carpets changed in 2012.
3. Built-in trickle charger (an external inlet for line voltage is located below the grill and a solar panel inlet is in the ceiling instrument gauge cluster – solar panel included).
4. All records since 2011, including Microsoft Access database of costs, parts, repairs, mileage and efficiency tracking.
5. Daytime Running Lights.
6. Average 18 MPG through 33,093 km/20,563 miles in nine years one month between 20 MAY 12 and 20 JUN 21.
7. Estimated range between fuelings (full-to-empty): 670-760 KM (420 – 470 miles) = the distance between downtown Orlando and midtown Atlanta with a little bit still in the tank.
8. Running Boards with underboard lighting.
9. Japanese Jiko-Shiki (back-lit) number plates front & rear; a bracket mounts a North American 12"x6" standard plate above the slightly larger Japanese plate on the rear with space between them so the green glow of the larger plate back-lights the smaller plate.
10. Bluetooth AM/FM Receiver with 6½” flip-up screen; integrated dash-mount USB input.
11. Rearview Camera.
12. Marchal front fog lights with original covers.
13. Rear Step Extended Bumper.
14. Original alloy wheel rims.
15. Manual front locking hubs for 4-wheel drive.
16. Rear Seat Headrests (not standard in 1983 except in JDM Safari models).
17. Uncracked, unblemished dash! (the original owner and I both kept the dash covered with a custom-fitted, removable felt. Not even Florida sunshine and heat has done any harm.)
18. 3M Crystalline series UV protective window tint all around, including CR90 minimal tint version on the windshield. CR90 is a 10% tint, undiscernible from fully clear. CR70 elsewhere for 30% tint on sides and rear.
19. JW Speaker LED Headlights (made in the USA).

Some spare parts and consumables are included in the sale; many are new or refurbished / rebuilt stock, except as noted, to be ready for when existing, original parts need replacement. None of these existing items have failed or have any indication of imminent failure. But no mechanical, electric, or electronic part lives forever; so keep some spares in the attic or basement. You wouldn't want to be out of commission while waiting for a long-lead or hard to find 30+ year old discontinued replacement part to arrive, and 24 volt replacement parts for RHD vehicles (like wiper motors) aren't readily available at your neighborhood auto supply store.
1. Two (2) un-rusted front doors (from salvage vehicles).
2. Five (5) oil filters, two (2) fuel filters, and two (2) air filter housing gaskets.
3. One (1) each front and rear 24 volt wiper motors + front wiper arms. (RHD wipers swing opposite from LHD and have an opposite hand motor, so you can't use a LHD motor on a RHD vehicle.)
4. Extra new stock seat material, vinyl, and carpet.
5. One (1) 24 volt AC condenser core (not rebuilt, just ready for exchange).
6. Miscellaneous new belts, gaskets, and hoses.
7. Misc. original interior trim parts.
8. Six (6) new glow plugs.
9. Original rear light housings and lenses.
10. One (1) 24 volt alternator.
11. One (1) Water pump & gaskets, hoses.
12. One (1) SUV cover.
13. One (1) Engine overhaul gasket kit for Toyota 2H.
14. One (1) 24 volt starter.
15. One (1) each AISIN Master and Slave Clutch Cylinder.
16. Set of new chrome windshield gasket trim.
17. Re-chromed rear license plate lamp assembly 81270-29665 with new gasket. (This OEM item rusts quickly, and I changed it twice since 2011; this time, I had one heavy chrome plated. It won't rust again.)
If you intend to ship the vehicle, check with your shipper to see if they allow the parts listed above to be shipped within the cargo area of the the vehicle. If not, you'll have to make other arrangements to ship the parts.
