1980 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ45 Troopy
1980 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ45 Troopy finished in Mustard Yellow with a white roof. Right-hand drive, four-wheel drive. Powered by an inline-six turbo diesel engine (6-cylinder swap, see below), paired with a manual transmission. Odometer indicating 97,299 kilometres. Seating for three (cab compliance; rear bench fitted).
Description / Overview:
The HJ45 Troopy is one of the most sought-after classic 4WDs in Australia and this is a strong example of why. The mustard yellow and white roof combination is the definitive look, and this one presents well from every angle. The body is straight with consistent panel gaps, the paint is a respray that holds up nicely at distance, and the ARB bull bar, safari snorkel, Mickey Thompson all-terrain tyres, and rear diff locker make it a genuinely capable, usable machine rather than a showroom piece.
The factory engine has been replaced with an inline-six turbo diesel featuring a high-flow turbo and DChip module. The factory plate confirms the original drivetrain was an H-series 4-cylinder (3576cc) paired with an H41 4-speed gearbox. The current engine is a 6-cylinder turbo diesel -- claimed to be a 1HD-FTE, though buyers should note that this has not been independently verified from the block serial number at time of listing. Confirm engine specification directly with the auctioneer prior to bidding. Rear-mounted air conditioning has been added. XR6 high-back bucket seats are fitted with the original front bench seats included. Minor rust is noted around mid-corners and lower doors as per vendor advice. New gutters are included but not yet installed.
This is a driver-quality classic that will be used and enjoyed, not trailered to shows. The underbody and chassis rails are the key inspection item on any 40-series and buyers should arrange physical inspection prior to bidding.
