Frame-off restorations of Brazilian Toyota Bandeirantes and split-window Volkswagen Buses — legally imported, meticulously engineered, delivered to your driveway.
Overland Imports is the largest exporter of Toyota Bandeirantes from Brasil to North America. For over 15 years we've crossed continents hunting the finest examples of Brazil's working legends — then rebuilding them, nut and bolt, to a standard the factory never imagined.
Every vehicle is sourced by us, restored by us, and imported under full federal compliance. No brokers. No mystery. Provenance you can trace, craftsmanship you can feel.
A frame-off build of a 1997 BJ55LP crew cab — four real doors, steel bed, 3.7L 14B diesel and a five-speed.
Brazil's own Land Cruiser. When Toyota ended 40-series production elsewhere, Toyota do Brasil simply kept going.
A rare Brazilian-market 11-window Kombi Deluxe, fully refurbished in Brazil and imported by our team in 2024.
Tell us the platform, the spec, and the vision — we source it in Brazil, restore it to order, and deliver it US-titled to your door.
Genuine and OEM-quality components for Toyota Bandeirantes, Land Rover Defenders, and Volkswagen Buses — shipped from our US warehouse.
When Toyota opened its first factory outside Japan, it was in São Paulo — and the truck it built was the Bandeirante: a Brazilian-made FJ-series Land Cruiser powered by a Mercedes-Benz diesel. Named for the pioneers who opened Brazil's interior, it stayed in production, nearly unchanged, until 2001.
While the world moved on, Brazil kept building the original. The result: the youngest classic Land Cruisers on Earth — 40-series bodies with 1990s build dates, fully legal for US import.
Volkswagen do Brasil began building the Type 2 "Kombi" in 1957 — and never stopped. German production ended in 1979; Brazilian factories kept the split-window and bay-window buses alive until 2013. A 56-year run unmatched in automotive history.
That means rust-free southern-hemisphere bodies, factory parts continuity, and 23-window dreams that can actually be found, restored, and titled in the USA.
