Toyota Land Cruiser Diesel HJ45 Pickup

1979 Toyota Land Cruiser Description

This is a good clean HJ45.It is all original except for a later split transfer case, wide wheels and aftermarket door mirrors . I recently drove this car 400 Miles and it did not miss a beat, it used 1/2 quart of oil and mileage was around 25 MPG. It is very easy to restore. I have made videos of a cold start and a walk around showing the faults with the body and will email them to anyone who is interested. This pickup is located in Melbourne Australia, budget at around $3000 for shipping, I can help with recommending Shippers. I would like to talk to anyone who is serious over the phone to establish a trusting relationship to do this deal. I have recently sold a Land Cruiser to a Gentleman in Ohio.
