1964 Fj45 Landcruiser Lv Wagon, Unrestored Original Classic on 2040-cars
Sheridan, Wyoming, United States
|
This is a 1964 Toyota Landcruiser FJ45 LV wagon. This is an unrestored original that is very complete. It has the original inline 6 cylinder motor with the 3 speed column shift transmission. Axles are original with 4:11 gear ratio. The interior is also original. This vehicle was a daily driver until 2007 when the clutch failed. It has been parked since that time. The clutch master and brake master were recently cleaned out and filled with fresh fluid. The brakes and clutch functioned but the fluid leaked out by the next day. The master cylinders did not have any significant pitting and would likely function with a rebuild kit. (The clutch master and slave operated but it still needs a new clutch and pressure plate.) The carburetor was also cleaned out and filled with fresh gas. The fuel line from the tank was disconnected as the gas has fouled. The engine fired right up and idled smoothe. There was minimal rocker noise and no other unusual sounds. This was a good daily driven motor before it was parked and should continue to run fine with fresh fuel and a minor tune up. The carburetor is a Rochester single barrel unit from a 50s or 60s GM car. This was a popular conversion back in the day and the stock oil bath air cleaner fits right on it. This rig also has a GM alternator conversion and a remote oil filter set-up that uses the standard PH8A filter that newer Cruisers used. This Cruiser has the typical rust for this year. The worst is in the rear quarters and the front of the rear wheel wells as shown in the pics. The drivers side front floor board also has rust. The frame is solid and still has original paint in some areas. The axles are solid as well. There is no significant pitting in the metal like you see on cars from the eastern US or coastal areas. Shock mounts, gas tanks skid plate, drivelines, rear sway bar, and other pieces are present and in restorable condition. Tires are new 31x10.50R15s and are mounted on 1976 FJ40 wheels. These wheels can be used when doing a disc brake conversion. Besides the rust, this Cruiser also has the following issues. The passenger side hinge for the rear upper hatch has broken away from the upper support. This will require the metal to be welded back in place. There is also evidence of a repair on the drivers side cowl area. It looks like it was hit in the side, just in front of the door. There is bondo up to 1/4 inch thick in this area. The doors appear to be solid and there is no evidence of rust through. Some of the interior handles are missing and the front door latches are not holding the doors closed. The parts appear to be all there but need adjusting of refurbishing. The glass is all there and is in good condition. Headliner is deteriorated but the bows are intact. This is a good candidate for a restoration. There were very few of these imported in the US and according to some websites, less than 100 are known to exist. The vehicle is available for inspection in Sheridan Wyoming. Please ask any questions before placing a bid. This cruiser comes with a clear Wyoming title. I have it in my hand.

Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).
The UK votes for Brexit and it will impact automakers
Fri, Jun 24 2016It's the first morning after the United Kingdom voted for what's become known as Brexit – that is, to leave the European Union and its tariff-free internal market. Now begins a two-year process in which the UK will have to negotiate with the rest of the EU trading bloc, which is its largest export market, about many things. One of them may be tariffs, and that could severely impact any automaker that builds cars in the UK. This doesn't just mean companies that you think of as British, like Mini and Jaguar. Both of those automakers are owned by foreign companies, incidentally. Mini and Rolls-Royce are owned by BMW, Jaguar and Land Rover by Tata Motors of India, and Bentley by the VW Group. Many other automakers produce cars in the UK for sale within that country and also export to the EU. Tariffs could damage the profits of each of these companies, and perhaps cause them to shift manufacturing out of the UK, significantly damaging the country's resurgent manufacturing industry. Autonews Europe dug up some interesting numbers on that last point. Nissan, the country's second-largest auto producer, builds 475k or so cars in the UK but the vast majority are sent abroad. Toyota built 190k cars last year in Britain, of which 75 percent went to the EU and just 10 percent were sold in the country. Investors are skittish at the news. The value of the pound sterling has plummeted by 8 percent as of this writing, at one point yesterday reaching levels not seen since 1985. Shares at Tata Motors, which counts Jaguar and Land Rover as bright jewels in its portfolio, were off by nearly 12 percent according to Autonews Europe. So what happens next? No one's terribly sure, although the feeling seems to be that the jilted EU will impost tariffs of up to 10 percent on UK exports. It's likely that the UK will reciprocate, and thus it'll be more expensive to buy a European-made car in the UK. Both situations will likely negatively affect the country, as both production of new cars and sales to UK consumers will both fall. Evercore Automotive Research figures the combined damage will be roughly $9b in lost profits to automakers, and an as-of-yet unquantified impact on auto production jobs. Perhaps the EU's leaders in Brussels will be in a better mood in two years, and the process won't devolve into a trade war. In the immediate wake of the Brexit vote, though, the mood is grim, the EU leadership is angry, and investors are spooked.
Toyota confirms i-Road electric trike for production
Tue, 08 Oct 2013The wacky, three-wheeled Toyota i-Road we saw in Geneva earlier this year will be heading to production. But before you run down to your local Toyota dealer looking for one of these all-electric "personal mobility" vehicles, chances are, you'll never actually see one unless you visit Japan.
Announced at the Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies (CEATEC) expo last week, Toyota said that the i-Road would be used as a part of the Ha:Mo car-sharing system in Japan. Weighing in at around 661 pounds, with a 28-mile-per-hour top speed and a two-passenger seating arrangement, the i-Road seems more like a fully enclosed scooter than a car, but it does offer a 30-mile driving range and has a nifty articulating front suspension that leans into corners. As for Ha:Mo, Toyota says that the number of cars in the program will increase from 10 prior to October 1 to 100 by the middle of this month, and the number of stations will almost double from 13 up to 21. Toyota has more details about the car and Ha:Mo in the press release posted below.
