This extremely rare & unique 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ43 was imported from Germany to the USA in the early summer of 2006. This is a really fun vehicle to drive. It handles extremely well and will cruise at 70 MPH all day long on the highway and zip downtown with ease. This has the extended wheelbase (like a Jeep Scrambler) which gives you more room and makes things comfortable. The Factory Toyota soft top is easy to use and gives protection from the elements. The 4 point seat belts keep you firmly secured.
Good Stuff:
119k original Kilometers is only 74,000 original miles!! Very low mileage.
B Diesel engine gets 28-30 mpg
4 speed manual transmission is a nice easy shifting transmission.
4 wheel drum brakes all around stops it very quickly and easily
24 Volt electrical system with a battery disconnect.
Body was reworked with new steel from rocker panels to the rear, no rust problems back there.
Drivers & Passengers front seats
recline and adjust.
Rear seat is a forward facing seat
40 series roll bar has been installed
New suspension and shackles all around
Nearly new exhaust system
New lights and emblems
Large non US style door mirrors
New soft top, rear clasps need finishing install.

Things we recommend doing are noted below and we have also notated the cost of our restoration shop to do the parts + installation:
Front seats could use new cushions and covers ($600 to redo them)
Factory 3 point grey seatbelts ($200 installed)
The front bib, hood & fenders have alot of filler in them ($1200 for replacements installed)
Running boards are not factory ($300 for replacements installed)
Passengers front door window regulator needs replacement ($75 for a replacement installed)
We have a passengers door assembly that has the door vent window in it for $500 installed.
Paint is a variety of colors. A repaint of only the exterior including the front end pieces would cost around $1500 for a nice job.
This Cruiser is solid and reliable. It is ready to drive anywhere as is. It has a clean title and is inspected and checked out by our shop.
We can take it and do a stock factory Toyota restoration in any color that you want using any stock 4x series parts that you want for around $35k.
