Hello, I just found a 1980 FJ40 diesel in a garage. It has 77,000KM but has been parked for some time. The top, doors, & windshield are all removable. What would this be worth as is? Yes it does need some body work (rust) but overall looks to be decent. Thanks in advance.
 
A diesel powered FJ40 is a BJ40 which were imported into Canada (but not USA).
Low mileage but as the odometer does not have 100,000s it could have been round more than once.
All the bodies rot - especially in countries where they put salt on the roads.
Numbers matching? If so it would be worth more than one that has had an engine change.
What's it worth? No idea but some web research in Canada would give you an idea.
But if it is a 3B engine model then it was the first year they were introduced to Canada and only 173 were imported. (www.cruiserfaq.com). They were all 2F (petrol) before then. You need to load the VIN number into www.toyodiy.com and that will clarify what exact spec the truck is.

Regards,

Thanks, I found the pink slip and here is what it has
BJ400041856
model #L CSR
 
12/79 BJ40 Europe spec (1980) 3B engine 4 spd manual.
That would imply by the manufacture date that it was one of the first ones imported into Canada.
