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 of the pictures, it is not included. I also switched out Dad's personal license plate and changed the title to my name.

Another note: Yearly license fee is due late December, low low fee of 84.00

Thanks !

Fuel cells will flop outside Japan, says VW

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

"It may fly within Japan, but not globally," VW's Shoji said.
It's long been battered into our beleaguered auto writer brains that the ultimate future source of motivation for tomorrow's cars and trucks is not gasoline, diesel, electricity, natural gas, propane or solar power - it's the hydrogen fuel cell. It's been the Next Big Thing since the start of Next Big Things.

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.

Japanese automakers kick in $800k for new charging-station company

Mon, Jun 2 2014

Cynics may say that gathering $800,000 (total) from four of Japan's largest automakers is merely a rounding error. Still, Toyota, Nissan, Honda and Mitsubishi, along with the Development Bank of Japan, are putting those funds to good use. So, that's something. Last week, those five entities officially founded Nippon Charge Service LLC. The company was established to promote plug-in vehicle charging installations across Japan and the automakers seeded it with 80 million yen, or about $786,000 US. Those funds will be used to help business owners deploy charging stations at convenience stores, highway-side locales and other locations that will make it easier for plug-in vehicle drivers (of Toyotas, Hondas, Mitsubishis and Nissans, obviously) to get their juice. The automakers first announced they'd collaborate last year, when they said they'd work with the Japanese government to more than triple the country's publicly accessible chargers to about 17,000 units. No targets were disclosed as far as how many charging stations would be deployed this time out, but, in a move similar to the EZ Charge system in the US, Nippon Charge Service will also have universally-accepted charging cards available by the end of the year to drivers all of those brands' plug-in vehicles to make the charging process a little more seamless. Check out Honda's press release below. Japan Automakers Advance Electric Charging Infrastructure with New Company, Nippon Charge Service -Established to help build charging infrastructure for electric-powered vehicles (PHVs, PHEVs and EVs)- Toyota Motor Corporation Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. Honda Motor Co., Ltd. Mitsubishi Motors Corporation Development Bank of Japan Inc. TOKYO, Japan, May 30, 2014 - Toyota Motor Corporation, Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., Honda Motor Co., Ltd., and Mitsubishi Motors Corporation jointly established a new company, Nippon Charge Service, LLC, on May 26 to promote the installation of chargers for electric-powered vehicles (PHVs, PHEVs, EVs). The goal is to help build a charging network that offers more convenience to drivers in Japan. The new company will promote the installation of chargers, for the good of society and to expand the use of electric-powered vehicles. Related industries are also expected to benefit.
