Just saw this one on Leboncoin. 1988 BJ73, so mid-wheelbase, 3B naturally aspirated diesel, H55 5-speed. Still has the original decals/graphics on the side, which usually means original paint. I'd expect to find some rust around the windshield frame and probably elsewhere on the body/chassis, but from the photos it doesn't look terrible. Price is certainly agreeable. Good color, too. Very unlikely to have a/c, but you could ask.
This one's in the northeast of France, so not far (relatively speaking) from the port in Zeebrugge, BE, which means transportation within Europe wouldn't be terribly expensive. Seller's asking 6900Euro, which is about US$8400-ish. For maybe another US$3k-ish, you could get it to a US port and through Customs. So maybe $11-12k all in. Not bad, really, if it turns out to be in decent condition. As always, due diligence required. Ask questions, get photos.

Information Re: Importing to the USA and Complete DIY How-To
I’ve imported several Landcruisers from overseas in the last few years, and thought I’d share some of what I’ve learned about the process—where to find cars, how to get them shipped, how to get them through US Customs, what everything costs, how long it takes, who can help, what’s legal and...
