Overview of 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 For Sale by Owner

If you want a classic Toyota Land Cruiser that’s still able to dish it out in spades when the road disappears, you can’t go amiss by selecting a J40 variant. The J40 era was made between 1960 and 1984, but production continued in Brazil until 2001. With its iconic style and simplistic mechanicals, it’s incredibly easy to fix a J40 in the field if it does go wrong – which, isn’t very often, let us tell you. That’s why you’ll encounter J40s doing yeoman service in various parts of the world where today’s SUVs would simply cry and throw up myriad error messages on their delicate digital screens. So, if you’re an adventurer with an eager heart and a desire to explore our country, this 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 is a great companion. It’s recently received a host of new parts and awaits your consideration in Miami, Florida.

Exterior and Interior

The new OEM paint job on this 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 is of the much desirable two-tone theme, with a white roof and an eye-catching red body. The vehicle is an absolute stunner to behold, and you can tell that a lot of love has gone into restoring it. We’re told that it packs new panels, new rubber seals, new wheels and new tires too. All the lights look crisp and clear, and the iconic Land Cruiser badges make you feel special everytime someone glances at this vehicle while you’re driving in it. The new interior of this 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 comes in black and largely preserves the vehicle’s classic and simplistic vibe. The only touch of modernity is the fitment of a Vintage Air air conditioning unit. That’s an upgrade that we wholly approve of, because the world is getting warmer, and cars are nicer to drive with air conditioning anyway. The seat covers and headliner are new as well, as is the dashboard, showcasing those lovely classic gauges. We don’t see any music players, so you’ve got two choices. One is to install your own choice of sound system, two is to use a Bluetooth speaker. We’d recommend the latter if you prefer purity.

Engine

This 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 uses a 3.0-liter in-line four-cylinder diesel engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission. We’re told that the engine and transmission have been serviced and tuned, and the vehicle has received a recent fluids service too.

VERIFIED SELLER
SOLD

The Fifty Series or J50 Toyota Land Cruiser is one of those comparatively lesser-known sorts in the United States. Produced between 1967 and 1980, it marked the start of the Station Wagon line-up of the Land Cruiser family, the ones that were slightly less hardcore than the Heavy Duty series, and more SUV-like. Today’s 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 is a fine example that’s weathered the test of time over the years. Now, it sits proud in Chapel Hill waiting for a new owner, and rocks just 305 miles after a full frame-off restoration. If you’re a Land Cruiser fan but want something a little less mainstream, this vehicle is perfect!

Current Ask
VERIFIED SELLER
$16,999

The Toyota Crown has long represented understated executive luxury in Japan, serving as one of Toyota’s most respected domestic flagship sedans for decades. By 1999, the Crown had evolved into a refined, comfort-oriented luxury cruiser that blended legendary Toyota reliability with smooth rear-wheel-drive dynamics. This 1999 Toyota Crown Royal Saloon is a particularly appealing example, showing approximately 31,064 miles and offering the kind of low-mileage preservation that collectors and JDM enthusiasts appreciate. Powered by Toyota’s revered 3.0L naturally aspirated 2JZ-GE inline-six, this right-hand-drive Royal Saloon combines dependable engineering with authentic Japanese-market luxury. Finished in elegant Pearl White over a beige cloth interior, this Crown delivers a compelling alternative to European executive sedans, with the added intrigue of true JDM exclusivity.

$22,000

This 1985 Toyota Celica Supra P-Type represents the enthusiast-favored performance trim, distinguished by its aggressive widebody fender flares, unique alloy wheels, and sportier personality compared to the more comfort-oriented L-Type models. Powered by Toyota’s silky 2.8-liter inline-six and backed by a 4-speed automatic transmission, this example captures the analog charm of Japan’s golden era of sports coupes. Finished in the quintessential black-over-black color combination and showing 127,627 miles, this Supra presents as a compelling survivor from the era before the standalone Supra became a turbocharged icon.
