A HDJ73 was never made so we had to make our own! We call this recently completed build 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 freshly rebuilt 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 León, 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 completely rebuilt 1HD-T engine was installed featuring internals including NPR rings, ACL Race Searing Bearings, Ceramic Coated Pistons (42.4 MM Bowl), ARP Head Studs, Ross Performance 6-Bolt Harmonic Balancer, connecting rods, and machine work completed by Precision Cylinder Head of Aiken, SC. Car Cave has done approximately 500 break-in miles since rebuilding the engine. We also installed larger clutch for the increased power, custom intake, Whistle N Soot Intercooler (to keep the EGTs down), larger Grunter greenwheel turbo, and 3” stainless side exhaust. A complete factory style air conditioning system was also added by Car Cave

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, Old Man Emu lifted leaf springs, HD 2.5” shackles (approximately 3.5” lift in total), Rancho 9000 shocks, Old Man Emu Steering Stabilizer, Ironman Commercial Deluxe Bull Bar, Smittybilt Winch, Yokohama M/T Tires, and custom audio equipment.

Power comes from the freshly rebuilt 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.

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.
