1979 Toyota Land Cruiser Bj40 Diesel on 2040-cars
Dundee, Oregon, United States
Please message me with questions at: mozellemmmenning@ukprint.com .
For sale is this rare 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 Diesel. It was imported from the country of Costa Rica and has
a clean Oregon title where it is located. This BJ40 is a gem; it’s almost impossible to find Diesel cruisers in
this condition and so well preserved. This is an "original condition" vehicle, not a restoration or re-build, which
is even more rare. Original body, metal, motor, steering, brakes, head-liner etc. The paint and seat-door coverings
were new in 2009, but you can see in photos/video top quality.
It was purchased new in 1979 and kept in a garage, only taken out for pleasure cruising and trips around town.
Which such light use, it has 78,000 original kilometers (64,000 Miles). This BJ40 has absolutely no rust or other
signs of deterioration of the body, which is common in these vehicles in any climate. What you see in the photos
and video, is what you see in-person with this vehicle.
The B Diesel motor is known to be a workhorse and nearly indestructible, with fuel-economy of over 20 miles per
gallon. The BJ40 is a manual 4-speed with original steering. The vehicle shifts smoothly and travels straight with
great power. The 4-cylinder motor is made for low end torque climbing and cruising of 45-50 mph. A pioneer stereo
with CD player and new speakers were installed.
It was carefully maintained, up until the day of sale by the original owner. Our trusted mechanic, with years of
experience with these vehicles, did a complete inspection and found a few routine items common in a 37 year-old
vehicle. The following maintenance was done in 2016:
Cleaned motor and injection system and replaced injection heads
Reviewed and changed Glow Plugs
Changed oil and all filters
New belts
Revision and change of rubber seals
Changed primary pump on the clutch and adjusted
New radiator
Cleaning and adjustment of brakes, replaced brake fluid
New battery
Painted top, rack and ladder
Paint was re-done in 2009 in Carnival Red (T-335), inside and out. The paint is clean and professionally done. We
re-painted the vehicle top, rack and ladder in original white. This is a vehicle that doesn’t come along very
often. On June 18th, we entered into the Seaside, Oregon Car Show and won the "Founders Award". If you have been
waiting to find that near perfect Diesel Land Cruiser, then your wait is over!

Toyota creates GT86 concept inspired by Initial D
Wed, Jun 29 2016Everyone has a favorite movie or TV car of their youths. The love of these cars can ignite a lifelong passion for automobiles. Some lust for the sharp, stainless steel DeLorean DMC-12 from Back to the Future or the decked-out Aston Martin DB5 from Goldfinger. For anime and manga fans, it's the panda-colored Toyota AE86 Sprinter Trueno from the Initial D manga and anime series. Toyota, recognizing the significance of the that car, meticulously reimagined it for a modern audience, basing it on the UK market GT86. The GT86, sold in the United States as the Scion FR-S and soon to be rebadged as the Toyota 86, is considered by some to be the spiritual successor to the rear-wheel-drive AE86 Corolla from the 1980s. Both are reasonably affordable, lightweight cars with a propensity for oversteer. The original AE86 from Initial D was a highly modified but realistic drift machine. The amazing feats of that tofu delivery car as it raced everything from Mazda RX-7s to a Honda S2000 turned the little Toyota into a cult icon. That AE86 itself was inspired by the personal vehicle of Japanese racing driver Keiichi Tsuchiya. Tsuchiya served as both an inspiration and supervisor for Initial D. Many of the modifications on the Initial D car, like the TRD carbon-fiber hood and Fujitsubo exhaust, car were exactly the same as Tsuchiya's real-life vehicle. Toyota is no stranger to crafting modern incarnations of classic vehicles. Last year the company created a Back to the Future Tacoma. Toyota's Initial D concept car uses the same parts wherever possible. Like the original, it has a carbon-fiber hood, Fujitsubo exhaust, and black Watanabe F8 wheels. The suspension, lights, and body have all been modified. Even small details like the engine cover and door handles were modified to recall the fictional car. The end result is a fantastic creation that pays great homage to the original. Toyota went as far as hiring UK manga artist Sonia Leong to design a series of backdrops that place the car in the same action shots as the original series. While this one-off vehicle is just a concept, most of the parts are available to purchase for fans who may be inspired to create their own version. Toyota's concept will be on display at various motoring shows across the UK this summer. Related video: Featured Gallery Toyota Initial D GT86 TV/Movies Scion Toyota Coupe toyota gt86 toyota 86
New Toyota semiconductors could increase hybrid fuel efficiency by 10%
Wed, 21 May 2014Toyota may have an ace up its sleeve in the fuel economy wars, as it's developed a new type of semiconductor that will allegedly help the company's hybrids net a ten-percent improvement in fuel economy.
The tech is still in development, although Toyota is already reporting five-percent gains during testing, six years before it plans to implement the new semiconductor in production vehicles, meaning the ten-percent improvement doesn't seem like an untenable goal. That is, until you hear from Kimimori Hamada, the project general manager of Toyota's electronics division.
"We are aiming for great improvement in fuel economy and miniaturization," Hamada told Automotive News. "This is a very challenging target."
