1HZ-Powered 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 Widebody 5-Speed

The distinctive 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 Widebody is a robust Japanese classic hailing from Oregon in the United States. Manufactured during the era of disco and shag carpets, this Toyota, identifiable by its unique widebody conversion completed years ago in Costa Rica, stands out even among fellow rugged off-road enthusiasts. Undergoing several transformations under various owners prior to its most recent seller's acquisition in 2018, it now boasts a powerful 4.2-liter diesel inline-six engine (codenamed 1HZ) paired with an H55 five-speed manual transmission and a sturdy two-speed transfer case for enhanced crawling prowess. Despite its vintage origins, this BJ40 remains active in the collector's market, showcasing recent valuation at approximately twenty-three thousand dollars, reflecting its exclusivity and desirability among enthusiasts of both classic Toyota models and off-road adventure vehicles alike.
