Importer of Cruisers from South/Central America

[canucksafari]

I noticed this listing from Sept on kijiji Vancouver for a LC truck: http://vancouver.kijiji.ca/c-cars-v...-LANDCRUISER-PICK-UP-DIESEL-W0QQAdIdZ24536969. Does anyone know if there a local importer bringing in trucks from South or Central America? The pic of the truck was not taken in Canada. The bill board behind the truck is in Spanish. Sure looks a lot nicer than the old mine trucks that come up for sale here.

I have been emailing back and forth with Martin for a couple weeks now. I haven't seen any of his imports yet but he can get almost anything. I am on the hunt for a 40 series tow-truck or pick-up sourced from Costa Rica and will be working with Martin in the future to bring it over. If you need to contact him email him at agr8idea@yahoo.com.

So that was him, eh? Actually, I am not in the market. I was just wondering. I have friends and collegues in Central America and South America. The truck did look to be in better condition than most LCs or Trolls I have seen down South.

A tow truck? Thats a radical career change aint it?

Nope, I'm just looking for a Cruiser that you don't see everyday. I am also interested in a 55 series fire truck from Japan. These have sold in the U.S. for big coin but could be sourced and restored for far less. Just looking...

This one sold for $35,000 in the U.S. (borrowed photo)

15k for that BJ75 isn't too bad. But the paint is fresh so you really don't know if it was rusty or bondo treated....

It looks just like the HZJ75 Crushers repainted red in Calgary. If it wasn't in South America I would think it was the same.....
