Vehicle Details

AI Listing Summary

This 1985 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ70 Diesel is a project vehicle being sold at no reserve. It runs and drives but requires significant sorting and repairs, including addressing multiple oil leaks, worn belts, and underside rust.
Despite being a project, it features desirable upgrades like an Old Man Emu suspension lift, ARB bumper with Warn winch, and a Safari snorkel, making it appealing for enthusiasts willing to undertake the necessary work.

Condition

4

The vehicle is described as a 'running-and-driving project' that requires further inspection and sorting to become roadworthy. Several mechanical issues are noted, including leaking front axle seals, a leaking cylinder head gasket, leaking oil filter housing, worn radiator hoses and drive belts, a non-functional cold-start choke, and a leaking dual-range transfer case. The windshield washer fluid sprayers do not work, and the fuel level needle is missing. There is also noted rust on the underside. These issues indicate it is not in good mechanical or cosmetic condition and requires necessary reconditioning.
