Here you go.

BJ-75 on Ebay

See anything funny about this?

TB
 
just the high bidder :D
 
I give up. What's funny about it? Looks like a nice rig to me.
 
It's bad news when you make up a number like that since that is concievably a number that exists on somebodies rig elsewhere in North America. If you wanna get creative (and it was likely a registry agent, not the owner, who 'fixed' the vin) you should at least find a beater to part out and use the numbers from.

I really like this truck and if I had the cash I'd be bidding but I'd be deturmined to correct the registration issues.

I've been talking to Jeff off and on for a year about this rig, I'll drop him a line to see if he can explain.
 
that VIN does not exist, we ran it thru car fax and the DMV(yes i have connections) Its a correct VIN(for a 60)...........just no record found

BJ(FJ)75(60)

Yes that is what was funny about it.

I wouldnt screw with that were I me.



TB :doh:
 
FYI.....


The Vin number is JT1V0BJ75090017 listed on Vin plate, what is listing in posting is incorrect.

The red troopy looks similar to one driven from Europe/Asia to the Baring strait and into north America.
From memory it was a convoy of 3 landcruisers driven by Germans.
 
just that you(someone from here) was the higher bidder......:)

I was trying to be funny...........don't worry.

I am wondering what you mean by that statement???

To be honest with you guys, if I was living in the USA, I wouldn't hesitate to cook the books on a Landcruiser to bring it in. I'm not an anarchist or anything but sometimes the rules and laws in this area have nothing to do with safety and everything to do with market share protectionism. What does some clerk at the DMV know about BJ60 veruses BJ75?
 
Its a "type-o" on ebay, he has posted the real VIN number in the pictures. I don't have any need to "cook the books" to bring crusiers into the US. All of mine are %100 legally titled and registered in USA. It is really a matter of how much paperwork and time you want to put into it or in a few cases with me letting someone else do the paperwork and time and buy it after it is already legal.

Cheers,

Michael

Michael,

That VIN (JT1V0BJ7509001763) will not work if you try to register it in the US or Canada. US and Canadian VINs employ a check digit on the 9th position and its value is calculated from the VIN itself using a certain mathematical formula. The check digit on this vehicle's VIN is not the correct number and the DMV computers will spit it out. Better have contingency plans ready if you buy it.

Contingency: Buy the bloody thing, and pay a Canadian to warehouse it for you for six years until it is more than 25 years old, then bring it into the US. Where there's a will, there's a way. For those that simply can't wait six years, there are more "nefarious" ways.

FWIW: I am NOT buying the truck (regardless of how much I might covet it), I am just saying that the level of creativity required is directly proportional to your level of desire to own it. There is ALWAYS a way to get it done.
 
Yep, I am well aware of that.

Thanks Dave.

Michael
