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.

Toyota inks deal as global Olympic sponsor

Sat, Mar 14 2015

Toyota has just scored a sponsorship with one of the biggest events on the planet – the Olympic Games. The company announced its position as a member of the TOP (The Olympic Partner) program, which takes effect in Japan next year and globally in 2017. The deal is slated to run through 2024. That means, if we're understanding the deal correctly, that we won't see as much official Toyota sponsorship at next year's Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, while the company will enjoy a much more visible presence among American consumers at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Unsurprisingly, the automotive giant's sponsorship will be in the mobility category, covering "vehicles, mobility services and mobile solutions," the company's press release said. Fuel cells are expected to play a big role. "We will do everything possible to fulfill our new role in The Olympic Partner program, and justify the trust the IOC has placed in us. The addition of a mobility category to the TOP Partner field is an important recognition for our entire industry," Toyota president Akio Toyoda said in a statement. "Under this Olympic flag, let us today reaffirm the power of sports to bring people together. And let us dedicate ourselves to creating a better world by promoting sports in the Olympic spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play." "The IOC welcomes Toyota as a key partner for the provision of sustainable mobility solutions for the Olympic Games as outlined in Olympic Agenda 2020, our strategic roadmap for the future of the Olympic Movement," International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said. "Toyota is the world leader in its field, and this partnership signifies a strong commitment to the future of the IOC and the Olympic Movement. This is a milestone agreement in the implementation of Olympic Agenda 2020 because the focus of our cooperation is sustainable mobility, and Toyota will provide sustainable solutions for the entire Olympic Movement." Check out the official press release. Toyota Becomes IOC TOP Partner Tokyo, Japan, March 13, 2015-Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) today announced it has entered into a sponsorship agreement with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to become part of The Olympic Partner (TOP) program. The agreement runs through to the end of 2024 in the mobility category, which includes vehicles, mobility services and mobility solutions.

Ever wonder how to really pronounce Japanese automaker names?

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

People tend to get very set in their ways when it comes to the pronunciation of words. Just look at the endless debates over whether or not to say the final 'e' in Porsche (which you should in terms of correct German enunciation). Or the argument about whether to follow the British convention and give the 'u' in Jaguar a special delivery or to say the 'ua' diphthong as more of a 'w' sound, as usually happens in the US.
This short video doesn't answer either of those automotive questions, but it does allow a native Japanese speaker to demonstrate the accepted pronunciations for several, major automakers from the country. One benefit is that it clears up the occasional debate over whether Nissan should be said with a long or short 'i' sound. Also, listen closely to how the female host says Mazda as Matsuda, the way it's actually said in the language. Even if this doesn't change the way you enunciate these brands, at least now you know the accurate way in Japanese.

Japanese automakers ramping production for renewed American sales

Wed, 21 Nov 2012

The 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan took quite the toll on the automotive industry in that nation. Not content to lean on that tragedy as excuse for slagging sales, the Japanese automakers are planning on a major production expansion in North America. The aim is to reclaim the market share lost from the Tsunami-based dip, and overcome a dollar/yen exchange rate that makes exporting to America unprofitable.
Following the Tsunami, Japanese automakers ramped up production in their North American facilities to compensate, but according to Automotive News, Nissan, Honda and others have all reported plans for still-further increased production in the year ahead. As part of this ramp-up, Mazda will open a facility in Salamnca, Mexico before March of 2014. Part of that increase in output is 50,000 units of a Toyota-badged compact car, which Mazda will produce.
Other Mexican production facilities opening include a Honda plant, which will open in Spring 2014 in Celaya, and a Nissan plant, set to open later this year in Aguascalientes. Nissan also said that it will need another plant in North America within the next five years. According to Nissan Boss Carlos Ghosn, the company aims to raise its stake in the US market from 8 percent to 10, and adding production will help achieve that goal. Even Mitsubishi is aiming to boost production at its Normal, Illinois plant. Production of the Outlander Sport is currently at 50,000, which Mitsubishi wants to raise to 70,000.
