Full Convertible A HDJ73 was never made so we had to make our own!
Our creation on this recently completed build is called the little
monster. We are constantly searching for 70 Series Land Cruisers
and finding a clean 73 full cabrio is very difficult. The BJ73
shown here has been modified and upgraded significantly from stock
form. This Land Cruiser features a 4.2L 1HD-T performance modified
turbo diesel, manual transmission, and limited slip rear
differential. 70 Series are considered one of the ultimate
expedition vehicles every built. The combination you see here is
the true holy grail of 70 Series Land Cruisers. A true pleasure to
drive in any condition life might throw your way.This is a
left-hand drive example sold new January 1, 1992 to a buyer in
Le�n, Spain. Records show this vehicle stayed in the Leon area for
26 years. We purchased this Land Cruiser from what is believed to
be the second owner in Ferrol, Spain. Spain is known for its dry
climate which is great at preserving cars and limiting rust over
the years. Since being purchased Car Cave has done a significant
number of upgrades. This is no longer your factory BJ73 from 1992.
A 1HD-T donor engine was swapped in, large clutch installed, custom
intake, larger turbo, and 3' stainless side exhaust. This model was
built from the factory for the FRP Top to be removed including
these features: rear half doors, removable front window tracks,
fold down windshield, and thumb screw collapsible windshield
wipers. A whole list of modifications were made to this vehicle
including Aisin manual front hubs, suspension lift kit, Old Man Emu
Steering Stabilizer, Ironman Commercial Deluxe Bull Bar, Smittybilt
Winch, Yokohama M/T Tires, and custom audio equipment.Power comes
from a 4.2-liter turbo diesel paired with a 5-speed manual
transmission, and a two-speed transfer case. The workhorse 1HD-T is
a 12 valve 4.2 L (4,164 cc) straight-6 SOHC turbocharged direct
injection diesel engine is typically reserved for Toyota's
commercial applications due to its reliability and plentiful
torque. When the engine starts, and the turbo spools up you can
tell quite a few upgrades are hidden under the hood. Keeping all
that torque in contact with the pavement is a set of 295/70R17
Yokohama Geolander M/T mounted on an attractive set of silver 17'
steel wheels. This Land Cruiser is shown in its original color of
Red Burdeos with the factory interior cloth patterned seats. The
driver's seat edge does show some signs of wear but we did not want
to change the original interior. We can make repairs per buyer
request or leave it all original for the next owner.Factory
equipment includes power brakes, power steering, tilt wheel, front
disc brakes, power locks, tilt wheel, push button 4wd, idle control
speed, and a digital clock. The factory gauge cluster includes:
tachometer, speedometer, temperature, fuel, oil pressure, and
voltmeter. The dash mounted factory altimeter and inclinometer are
shown above the aftermarket Pioneer Bluetooth media player. The
MVH-S520BT Receiver pushes sound through 6.5' and 6'x9' Pioneer
speakers and a self-powered Pioneer subwoofer.Upgrades and
