partners.The KZJ73 shown here is an excellent example of our
favorite 70 Series showing the original paint finished in the
Medium Red Pearl (Toyota Paint Code 3H4) with original graphics.
This is an excellent color combo and period correct look. Overall,
this vehicle is an outstanding, unmolested representation of the
iconic and rare Land Cruiser hardtop convertible with factory air
conditioning. The KZJ73 was only built for the European market for
3 years, making it treasured and hard to find. We enjoy driving
this model due to the coil springs (in comparison to the leaf
springs on the B and HZJ) and engine with lots of pep.This 1993
Toyota Land Cruiser KZJ73 is a left-hand-drive European-spec model
sold new in Southern France on September 9, 1993. Car Cave
purchased this beautiful Red Pearl KZJ73 from Monsieur Julien,
located in Montferrand, France. Vitrolles is part of the drier
region of Southern France, on the same latitude as Spain and Italy,
and that dry climate helped maintain this vehicle.Europe was the
only market lucky enough to receive the left-hand-drive,
coil-sprung KZJ73 equipped with the 1KZ-T engine?our favorite 70
Series platform. The 1KZ-T (as opposed to the 1KZ-TE) features the
sought-after mechanical injection pump and was built without an EGR
valve?a major advantage when tuning and for keeping exhaust gas
temperatures down.Upgrades and Features:Air ConditioningRemovable

timing belt completed by the previous owner. Car Cave did an
extensive list of maintenance including full oil and filter
service, new air and fuel filters, a replacement lower oil pan
gasket, and new gaskets and seals for the valve cover, turbo, and
differentials. The vehicle also received a new alternator. The
braking system was thoroughly serviced with a new master cylinder,
brake fluid flush, new pads, hardware, and hoses all around, rear
drums, and a parking brake overhaul. The clutch system was bled,
and the drivetrain received a full inspection and
service.Additional improvements included a new heater control knob,
alignment, tire balancing, and fresh fluids throughout. The Land
Cruiser also received a full detail and exterior refresh, including
a five-stage paint correction, engine bay detail, interior deep
clean, and freshly repainted fender flares. The result is a
well-sorted and dialed-in KZJ73 that's ready for road or trail with
a clean bill of health and recent service totaling over $7,100.A
3.0L turbo diesel powers this Land Cruiser, mated to a five-speed
manual transmission and a two-speed transfer case. The
smooth-running, ultra-reliable Toyota 1KZ-T is a 2,982cc single
overhead cam, indirect injection turbo diesel. The timing belt has
been replaced recently. The front hubs are factory push button
activated, with push-button 4WD high range and a floor-shifted
transfer case for low-range situations. This Cruiser is finished in
its original factory Medium Red Pearl, with no signs of previous
paintwork. The fiberglass removable FRP top is shown in a
contrasting original white.Aftermarket upgrades on this Land
Cruiser are minimal, limited to a Sony CD Player and a trailer ball
in the rear?which is just fine by us, as the KZJ73 drives
exceptionally well in stock form both on and off-road. Underneath
the FRP top is a factory-integrated roll cage, allowing rear
passengers to enjoy the safety of three-point seatbelts. The grey
carpets and Grey Moon Mist cloth interior are both original and in
great condition. The driver's seat does have a tear on the bottom
cushion, but we did not want to repair it and tamper with the
original upholstery. Factory options include power locks, power
steering, a center console, power windows, tilt steering wheel,
rear barn doors, rear wiper, digital clock, and rear defrost. The
original factory Toyota altimeter and inclinometer are still
present. The vehicle is currently fitted with BF Goodrich All
Terrain 31x10.50R15 tires mounted on the factory 15' chrome
wheels.The removable top and integrated roll cage make this a
versatile platform, and several aftermarket suppliers offer soft
top kits to further customize this vehicle. The windshield also
folds down onto the hood?perfect for a throwback overlanding
experience with the wind in your face. Car Cave is extremely
familiar with 70 Series Land Cruisers and can modify them to suit
any vision.Body Data Plate Information:Model: KZJ73LV
