This 1993 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado KZJ78 is a right-hand-drive four-door wagon that was acquired by the seller in Japan and brought to the United States in 2020. Finished in blue with a contrasting white roof, this rugged SUV features patterned cloth upholstery and is powered by a 3.0-liter turbodiesel inline-four engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case.

The Prado comes equipped with Dobinsons suspension components and rides on 15″ steel wheels fitted with 32×11.50” Falken WildPeak A/T AT3W tires. Additional exterior features include a metal front bumper, a Front Runner roof rack, a Warn M8000 winch, an LED light bar, a rear ladder, and a receiver hitch. Practical touches such as a fender-mounted auxiliary mirror, front window rain guards, running boards, and a locking fuel filler door enhance both style and functionality. A full-size spare tire is secured to the rear door, while four-wheel disc brakes provide reliable stopping power. It is worth noting that the left corner of the rear bumper shows some damage.

Inside, the right-hand-drive cabin offers front bucket seats and a rear bench trimmed in patterned cloth with protective black covers. Comfort and convenience features include air conditioning, an aftermarket head unit, door armrests with cup holders, rear-window curtains, and an all-weather cargo-area liner. A rearview camera has been installed but is currently inoperative. The instrument cluster features a 180 km/h speedometer, a 6,000 rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges for oil pressure, voltage, fuel level, and coolant temperature.

The odometer shows 254,000 kilometers (~158,000 miles), with approximately 75,000 kilometers added by the current owner since 2020. According to the seller, belts and fluids were replaced following acquisition, ensuring the vehicle’s continued reliability.

Originally offered in select markets as a smaller companion to the full-size Land Cruiser, this J70 Prado blends classic Toyota durability with aftermarket upgrades suited for off-road adventures and daily driving. The vehicle is now available with a clean Oregon title in the seller’s name.

This 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is a classic example of Mercedes’ celebrated W113 “Pagoda” series. Powered by a 2.8-liter inline-six engine paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, this model delivers a smooth and refined driving experience. The car is finished in white complemented by Cognac MB-Tex upholstery, offering a timeless and elegant look.

The vehicle comes equipped with a gray convertible soft top and a removable hardtop painted to match the body color. Other exterior features include 14″ steel wheels with painted covers and 185 HR 14 Pirelli P300 tires, a driver-side mirror, and US-market headlights. The W113 SL was designed by renowned automotive designers Friedrich Geiger, Béla Barényi, and Paul Bracq, making this car a valuable collector’s piece.

The seller purchased the car in 1994 and is now offering it with an owner’s manual, service records, the original factory radio (which has been removed), a car cover, a hardtop stand, and a clean Utah title in their name. It’s important to note there is a noticeable color difference on the driver-side door, suggesting it may have been repainted before the seller’s purchase. Additionally, dents and dings are present on the body, and the condition of the soft top is documented in the accompanying gallery.

Braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel disc brakes. A thorough service was performed in September 2022, which included replacing the front and rear brake pads, a front rotor, wheel bearings, and a brake fluid flush. The same service also covered an oil and coolant change, along with the replacement of the valve cover and fuel hoses, ensuring the car’s mechanical components remain in good working order.

Inside, the cabin features bucket seats upholstered in Cognac MB-Tex, which extends to the door panels, creating a cohesive interior design. While an aftermarket CD stereo has been installed and powers on, it currently does not play CDs. Other interior appointments include an analog clock, a floor-mounted gear shifter, and a heater. The seller notes some wear to the seats, broken ventilation and heater control knobs, and a loose center console. The original factory radio is included with the sale for restoration or collection purposes.

The classic two-spoke steering wheel is wrapped in a cover and features a chrome horn ring. The instrument cluster houses a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6,500-rpm redline, and gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. The odometer shows 45,000 miles but has rolled over; the seller has added approximately 2,000 miles since ownership.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels through the aforementioned four-speed automatic transmission. The engine—Mercedes’ M130 inline-six—is factory equipped with Bosch fuel injection and produces 180 horsepower and 193 lb-ft of torque.

Chassis number 11304412008365 is clearly displayed, and the title lists the VIN as 280SL008365. This 1969 Mercedes-Benz 280SL is currently offered in Salt Lake City and represents a wonderful opportunity to own a beautifully preserved piece of Mercedes-Benz history.
