1980 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ45
A tough and character-filled example of Toyota’s legendary HJ45 Land Cruiser, finished in Mustard Yellow and showing an indicated 97,299 miles. Built for durability and off-road capability, the HJ45 remains one of the most respected classic Land Cruisers ever produced.
Powered by a heavily upgraded 4.2-litre inline six-cylinder turbo diesel engine, this Land Cruiser has been fitted with a later 1HD-FTE motor featuring a high-flow turbo and DC chip, paired with a manual transmission and four-wheel drive. Enhancements such as a rear differential locker and rear-mounted air conditioning improve both off-road performance and usability, while retaining the rugged charm that defines the HJ45.
Toyota Land Cruiser HJ45 Model History
The 40 Series Land Cruiser, including the HJ45, is widely regarded as one of Toyota’s most iconic and indestructible vehicles. Produced from the 1960s through to the mid-1980s, the HJ45 became especially popular for its longer wheelbase, increased payload capacity, and suitability for harsh working environments. Known across Australia and globally for reliability in remote conditions, these Land Cruisers earned their reputation on farms, mine sites, and expeditions. Today, original and sympathetically modified HJ45s are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts, valued for their mechanical simplicity, classic styling, and legendary off-road credentials.
