1967 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER FJ45LV

This Land Cruiser is a true barn find survivor. 1967 was the very last year for Toyota to keep these in production until they were replaced by the FJ55.
The "L" Stands for Left Hand Drive and the "V" stands for Van.
There were only an estimated 500-600 of these important into the United States from Japan, it's unknown how many of these are still alive today.

Mileage is extremely low at 90,210.

These were the changes made in 1967 before they went out of production:

- The basics: 1 1/2 ” brow 
- 1 1/2 ” brow above windshield
- Corner mounted sun visors
- Improved drainage for cowl vent (late 1967) 
- Move VIN to passenger fender
- New weather stripping w/ plastic (steel reinforced) bead
- Improved venting for gas tank (late 1967) 

WHY ARE WE SELLING IT?

It's never easy is it? Due to health complications and the cost of medical bills the owner is forced with the decision to sell one of his most prized possessions.
Knowing that we know Land Cruisers he consulted with us to make sure that it gets in the right hands at the right price as efficiently as possible. He knows these
things go for upwards of $40k and up but there is little time to clean her up and sell her let alone just drive her around time to enjoy.  It's truly his loss and your gain.
This Land Cruiser is a perfect candidate for someone who wants to do a full restoration or just simply wants to driver her around.

DRIVETRAIN:
She has the factory built 3.9L Inline 6. Producing roughly 125HP, she wasn't a power house but this was plenty sufficient in 1967 and had enough torque to take on
the heaviest trails.  She runs like a well oiled machine and doesn't miss a bit sitting at the light.  I would drive this truck another million miles with this engine.

The transmission is manual 3 speed gear box 

DRIVABILITY:

Anywhere!  I would jump in this thing right now and drive her to Cali for a surf trip! for a 40 plus year old vehicle she drives and runs amazing.  She purrs like a kitten and drives down the road straight.  The clutch is firm and so easy to use even a teenager could learn how to drive it. Every gear slides in perfectly and as it should without grinding.  

The suspension has been replaced with a 2" lift from Old Man Emu.  This kit has been the staple for lifting Land Cruisers for many years and is highly respected among
the Land Cruiser community.  She rides better than factory and is more than capable of taking her to some light trails for a light off-roading. 

Brakes do need some pumping every once in a while to keep up the pressure.

BODY EXTERIOR:

There were many rust concerns when these vehicles were first introduced and Toyota improved their drainage system 1967 to help in preventing any of those issues
from developing. Fortunately this 45LV is a fighter! Only a few small rust pockets and some surface rust found their way onto this truck and everything is completely
repairable if needed. The floor boards are in great shape, the drip rails are in great shape and many of the areas where rust should be is non-existent.

At one point in this trucks life it was painted the two tone Orange and White, though these trucks came from the factory two toned we don't know at this time
whether or not that was the factory color or not.  The paint job appears to be over a decade old and could even pass for original to an untrained eye.

INTERIOR:

The interior is like a time capsule, untouched it's entire life.  The door panels are tattered and the the steering wheel is smooth from the hands of it's owners. It's
dusty and needs a quick swipe of a rag to clean her up.  She has a couple tears in the seats and the headliner is sagging a bit but aside from that it's in great shape
for the shape she's in! Just a few hours cleaning things up and your spouse might ask to go for a ride!

From the factory these truck came with a factory Air Conditioning unit under the dash and believe it or not she still blows cold!  We've seen a lot of Land Cruisers and a 
working, operational A/C is even more rare!

OOOPS! I made a mistake and stated that the A/C was factory and it is in fact not factory.  It is in fact an aftermarket unit, sorry for the misinformation.

2019 Chicago Auto Show Truck Roundup: Toyota, Ford, Chevy and Ram bring it

Thu, Feb 7 2019

The 2019 Chicago Auto Show features an array of heavy-duty trucks, smaller trucks, other kinds of trucks, and well, more trucks. That means new versions of the 2020 Chevy Silverado Heavy Duty and 2020 Ford F-150 Super Duty, a refreshed 2020 Toyota Tacoma and a trick tailgate on the 2019 Ram 1500. Sound a little crazy? Morgan Stanley research says 68 percent of passenger vehicles sold in the United States last year were classified as light trucks. So actually, bring on the trucks! Here's some impressions on the Chicago reveals, plus our take on the 2020 Subaru Legacy sedan. — Toyota updated the 2020 Tacoma with some light but useful enhancements. An improved infotainment has new audio features and larger screens. The grilles and wheels are different, but nothing drastic. Toyota still offers nice differentiation across the Tacoma lineup, and the design tweaks are subtle but thoughtful. Toyota tends to stretch out the Tacoma's generations, so it's wise to keep modifying and iterating to keep pace in this competitive segment. — Staying with Toyota, the Land Cruiser Heritage Edition is a legit special model that fans of this historic nameplate will appreciate. An anchor of the Toyota line in the United States since 1958, the Land Cruiser's roots date to Toyota's 1951 BJ Series military vehicle. Two colors, Midnight Black and Blizzard Pearl, are exclusive to this model and look slick against the blacked-trimmed grille and lightly bronzed wheels. Inside, bronze stitching is used on the steering wheel, seats, center console and other parts. The best part? Land Cruiser spelled out in script on the rear pillar. It's a limited model (1,200 units) and pricing isn't out yet, but that badge is probably why you buy this SUV. — The 2020 Chevy Silverado HD gets imposing looks that differentiate it from the light-duty range, an eye-popping max towing capability of 35,500 pounds and some updated powertrain elements. A new gas-fed V8 that serves as the entry point is one of the highlights, and the 6.6-liter mill makes 401 hp and 464 lb-ft, up significantly over the old 6.0-liter. There's also a new Allison 10-speed transmission teaming with the Duramax diesel to achieve that lofty max towing figure. With an updated trailering system and a larger cabin, the Silverado HD range is comprehensively remade to fight Ram and Ford. — The 2020 Ford Super Duty is also redone, and like the Chevy line, it gets a new gas V8 checking in at 7.3 liters.

Toyota/Mazda factory will reportedly be in Alabama or North Carolina

Tue, Nov 14 2017

The Toyota/Mazda factory sweepstakes appear to be nearing a conclusion as Bloomberg and Automotive News are reporting the location has been narrowed down to either North Carolina or Alabama. The joint venture plant worth $1.6 billion would add 4,000 jobs to whichever state lands it. To even be considered, Toyota and Mazda have reportedly sought a $1 billion incentive package from interested states in the form of tax breaks and other support. At least 15 states had apparently been jockeying for the factory, including Mississippi, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Texas and South Carolina. Toyota presently has an engine factory near Huntsville, Ala. The state is also currently home to Honda, Hyundai and Mercedes-Benz assembly plants. North Carolina currently does not have a car manufacturing plant. This would also represent Mazda's return to American manufacturing, as its present lineup of cars and crossovers is produced in Japan. The company had previously built cars in the United States along with its former partner Ford. Related Video:

Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats

Sat, 16 Aug 2014

If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.
