RARE CONVERTIBLE WITH RARE TURBO DIESEL MOTOR
TOYOTA LandCruiser LJ73 Turbo Diesel.
23126 ORIGINAL Miles (37219 Kms)
GARAGED - NO RUST

Disclaimer: Ebay does not recognize the 17 digit VIN for this European car. As shown on the Title the number is JT1V0LJ7309000589.
This is my personal vehicle I have used in Europe. I imported the car and went through the tedious and complicated work of making the car US legal, o you won't have to do it and got it registered in the USA, eaning I have a clean and clear Title on hand under my name.
This Toyota is a LJ73. L standing for Luxury. The number 73 stands for the body type and this one is the medium length, doors.
It's equipped with the very reliable 2.5 Liters, cylinders inline and a very rareTurbo.
Gear box is a 5 speed, hifts like new.
The car drove 23126 Miles since new (37219 Kms), ave all documents, as been serviced at the same mechanic and kept in a heated garage at home when not in use.
The body has been resprayed about 15 years ago with the exact same brown color than the original and added tiny metallic touch to make it more shining.
There is absolutely NO rust on the chassis and the frame. NO blistering paint or bubble of any kind, O rock chips because the car stayed garaged its entire life and pampered. Actually, here is even NOT a single scratch on the paint.
Interior is also original with no stains, o tears, o smell. Carpet is original to day one and has NO stains.
The radio is factory original, anual knobs and you will have to upgrade it to a newer version to get reception. The radio will work in Europe for instance but not in the USA.
Seats are perfect and adjustable. There is a knob in front of both seats and but turning it clockwise or counterclockwise, ou can adjust how stiff or soft you want the seat to be; it's ideal when doing off-road and it will make your ride more enjoyable.
Window seal, ubbers are like new with no cracks and there is NO leaks from the removable hard top. The fiberglass FRP top is from factory, OT cracked, as the optional and desirable sliding glass.
By removing the FRP top, ou will get a nice convertible and can be set up with different configurations: Some photos show a few example.
1) you can keep the hard top on with all the doors.
2) you can keep the hard top on without the front doors.
3) you can remove the top and keep the front and rear doors.
4) you can remove the top and remove either front doors and just remove the glass on the rear doors.
5) you can remove the top, emove the safety bar, emove the rolling cage and fold the windshield over the hood and you will have a flat looking type of Safari car.
6) you can do step 5 by keeping or removing any or all doors (a true outdback look).
Motor pulls strong, as lots of torque, oes NOT smoke and fires up easily. Injectors were checked, uel pump checked, low plug changed, il change few days ago, ires rotated few days ago.
The original and UNUSED tools with their original Toyota bag and the bottle jack is also included and from factory.
As seen on the photos, ou can still see the painted markers on the cable/pulley system for the injection and that's original from factory.
The rims were powder coated on Thursday April 7th 2016.
Front disc brakes are brand new with brand new pads and rear brakes have brand new pads as well. The reason the brakes and pads were changes, as to make it compliant with the DOT/EPA. It's a 2 Tons car and need to stop quickly.
Motor is original and as seen on the photo, he Turbo intake and rubber hose (the blue one) were upgraded for DOT/EPA compliance, hus a stainless steel intake and silicon rubber hose.
Undercarriage is original, as NO rust, O oil leaks.
This Landcruiser has never done any muddy off-road but has been driven on the road instead.
I will include the original handbook from Toyota.
NOTE: this Toyota is legally imported in the USA, omes with a Florida State Title under my name and is exempted from smog check as it is a vehicle over 25 years old and some states, ill register it as a collectible vehicle.

I went through the tedious and the very complicated work of making the car US legal, o you won't have to do it and got it is registered in the USA, eaning I have a clean and clear Title on hand and under my name.
It has a speedometer in kilometers, nspected, pproved by Florida Highway Patrol, lorida DMV and legal.

This car has been through several inspection at Custom Border Patrol (CBP), Agricultural Inspection, PA, OT, ighway Safety Inspection, MV Inspection and passed all of them with flying colors.

Sorry to all the people who placed an early bid but both listing was cancelled because they were starting at a different time, here for one listing was more advantageous timewise versus the second one.
