Torrance, California, United States

1975 Toyota Land Cruiser ~ 22, 683 Original miles !  Fantastic original Model. ~ Original Paint \ Top \ Interior

No rust, no major damage.

This is the first year that had the swing out ( left\right) rear doors.

My father bought this new in 1975,  I remember a couple trips to Gorman, CA  with him and he took it to Yosemite one time.  Has been kept in his garage all these years.
Due to illness he did not take it on trips anymore but kept it garaged and would faithfully start it and run it\drive it around the neighborhood.

I put a new battery in it and still runs good around the neighborhood like it always has, but with that said it could probably use a tune up.

I'm older myself and no longer need this super cool 4wd machine.

I have everything, toolkit, manuals, all parts for the winch, etc.

No rust, no major damage, some scratches due to normal minimal use. Headliner has come unglued, temporary hold in place. Small tear in driver seat. Storage box between seats has a small tear and covered with gray tape.

Dad put some extras on it and here is what I see......

Extras: Sliding side glass windows \ Warn winch 8200 series; model 6014 \ Front bumper tool boxes \ Rear toolboxes under jump seats ( these slide out if you don't want them inside) \ Extra\External gas tank ( think 20 gallons?)  CB radio and 8 track player, a 70s car right !  Unfortunately i can not get them to work but they are there. These are on a shelf above the windshield. CB radio ready ball on exterior\ driver side.  Sissy handle bar for the passenger.  A compass on the dash, a silver maplight he had mounted on the dash but another item i can't get to work, (fuse?) 2 fire extinguishers mounted on the roll bars inside and a first aid kit !  A front tow bar but i can not remember him towing it anywhere.

The pictures included were taken with my iphone 4s... please email me with any questions, i can get more pictures,  i can describe more, we can talk on the phone, etc. 
It is in the garage now in Torrance, CA  ( i'm not far, down the freeway)

Buyer pays and arranges all shipping costs.  Please do not bid if you do not intend to purchase.

Would love to have someone get this who would love it as much as my father did.


NOTE:  I removed the old spare tire cover in some on the pictures, it is not included.  I also switched out Dad's personal license plate and changed the title to my name \ Son at the DMV.

Thanks !

GM repairing 40,500 Pontiac Vibes as part of Toyota airbag recall

Wed, 09 Apr 2014

General Motors has confirmed to Autoblog that the Pontiac Vibe is included in Toyota's just-announced recall action. The Vibe and the Toyota Matrix share a large number of parts, including the affected cable to the airbag.
"About 40,500 Pontiac Vibes from the 2009-2010 model years are included in the Toyota recall. Toyota designed and engineered the Vibe for Pontiac. GM will service customers with these vehicles when Toyota makes the parts available," said GM recall spokesperson Alan Adler to Autoblog in an email.
The recall covers 1.3 million Toyota units in the US, including 2009-2010 Corolla, Matrix and Tacoma, the 2008-2010 Highlander, the 2006-2008 Rav4 and 2006-2010 Yaris, plus the addition of the 2009-2010 Vibe. The models all have their airbag module attached via a spiral electrical cable. The connections on this cable can be damaged when turning the steering wheel. Once broken, the airbag deactivates and the airbag warning light comes on. Toyota has an improved part, but it's still making preparations to begin repairs. It will begin notifying owners soon.

Toyota releases teaser for Kaley Cuoco Super Bowl ad

Wed, 23 Jan 2013

Toyota has released a 35-second teaser video for its upcoming Super Bowl spot staring Kaley Cuoco, the actress best known for her role as object-of-nerd-affection Penny on The Big Bang Theory. The real star of the ad, however, is its soundtrack, the 1995 hit "I Wish" by rapper Skee-Lo that will have your mind cashing nostalgia checks the moment it hits your ears.
We still don't know much about the content, plot or story of this Super Bowl commercial, though we can say that its object of promotion is likely the new RAV4 we see Ms. Cuoco driving in this teaser. The rest of the time she's walking the street in a purple getup granting wishes like Robin Williams on a Disney sound stage. And then the Easter Bunny and a chihuahua enter the picture and we get lost. Clint Eastwood under a bridge this is not.
But hey, Super Bowl ads cost millions and millions of dollars to produce and air, so we trust that Toyota spent its money wisely and will have us ROFLing on game day. Until then, scroll down and witness for yourself the debut of Kaley Cuoco as a Toyota spokeswoman.

Toyota GT86 turbo, convertible, sedan variants back on the table

Fri, 02 May 2014

Okay Toyota, make up your mind. Figure it out. Quit playing games with our heart. Either build a bunch of variations of the excellent GT86 (also known as the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ) or don't. At this point, we're just tired of the back and forth. After no shortage of denials, an Australian website is claiming that Toyota is reconsidering convertible, four-door, turbocharged and all-wheel-drive hybrid variants of the GT86. Kindly pass all the salt.
It's not that we don't want to believe the Aussies; we do. But when the story lists the same "sources in Japan" as a lot of the other denials and confirmations about GT86/BRZ/FR-S variants, well, there's a certain sense of the "Boy That Cried Wolf," here. Ignoring all that, then, what does Motoring.com.au claim to know?
Sources claim the GT86 Convertible will arrive in October 2014, while the turbocharged and hybrid sedans are slated for 2016.
