Canadian BJ70 for sale (1 Viewer)

[dieseldude]

Hey guys.

I told some of you about a Canadian BJ70 that is for sale locally. It's an '86 and has approx 235,000 kms (145,000 miles) on it. 3B diesel, 5 speed. The truck has two owners - the second owner bought it from his buddy.

I've driven this for a week last summer & went through the mechanicals at that time. It requires some minor maintenance - exhaust, calipers, pads, wheel cylinders, brake lines, E cable, left leaf spring, tie rod end etc. The truck smokes a little more than what I would like (more than my two) and I have a couple of ideas in fixing this.

I think it would cost approx $ 1,000 to get her whipped into great shape mechanically. There is a bit of rust on this, but I believe it's an easy fix - nothing too serious - but then again I am not a body man, so I don't want to mislead anyone with it.

The current owner is looking for $ 7,500 for it as is. I will be more than happy to drive it down to Buffalo NY and drop it of at a auto transport yard for the purchaser. This should save you a few hundred bucks & be a lot easier for you all.

One of your members (Dave with the white 80 series) is Canadian and it would be really easy for him to get it registered down there.

If anyone is interested, drop me a line at danthemoneyman@sympatico.ca & I will shoot you more pictures.

More pics

Please note - it does look really good in the pictures, but it does have rust.

Here are some more pictures showing the rust.

The interior is in very nice shape. Minimal wear.

If you can fix this for 1000 you should do it.My guy quoted 4,000 just for the body work and paint,from the pics. Mike

Hey Michael.

I figure it will be $ 1,000 to get it whipped into shape mechanically. This does not include the costs for body repair.

Just wanted to clarify this to one & all.

Just wanted to give feedback. I think with the economy he is way to high,esp with the rust.Good luck though. Mike

He originally asked me if I wanted to buy it - for $ 12,000. I said he was nuts. I could get a really nice RHD from Japan with factory lockers, winch, no rust and a bunch of other stuff for $ 14-$ 16,000.

Since there isn't a lot of BJ70's kicking around (on either side of the border), a price for these hasn't been determined. I've seen a couple sell for $ 10,000+ last year. I know the 3B & 5 speed power train alone is worth at least $ 4,000, so it doesn't leave a lot for the balance of the 70.

Just my $0.02.
