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! Please message us for additional pictures! On Jun-06-14 at 16:26:57 PDT, seller added the following information: 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 ad says fuel cell cars are inevitable
Fri, Sep 19 2014Toyota's confidence in H2 technology remains as strong as ever. The company has released a new commercial that says it's not a matter of if we all start driving hydrogen cars, but when. In fact, the 70-second spot calls 2015 the turning point for the alternative powertrain technology. Here's a bit of the voiceover for the animated spot, which to our eyes and ears comes off as more than a little defensive: There will be the naysayers. The handbrakes, who say that it can't be done. that it's unsafe. That there's no infrastructure to support it. Then there'll be the trailblazers. The first to put up their hand, and put down their foot. The bold few, driven to be remembered as those who made a difference. And perhaps, the ones that made all the difference. In the end, Toyota says, we're all going to be driving hydrogen cars, starting perhaps with the company's first H2 sedan which will go on sale next year. But, if the early comments on the video's YouTube page are any indication, then Toyota's might be a bit lonely driving down the hydrogen highway.

2015 Toyota Prius C is still colorful, still gets 53 mpg
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Few vehicles can match the affordable fuel economy of the $19,000, 53-mile-per-gallon Toyota Prius C, and that fact isn't likely to change for 2015, as the Japanese company has issued a moderate refresh of its sub-compact hybrid.
As mid-cycle refreshes go, this is a pretty standard affair, with a larger grille and tweaked LED headlights at the front of the Prius C, and more expressive taillights at the back. Toyota made some minor changes in the cabin, updating materials throughout, but not fiddling too much with the overall level of equipment.
Aside from those modest changes, this is the same fuel-efficient five-door, retaining its 1.5-liter, 73-horsepower, 82-pound-foot four-cylinder, while an electric motor tosses in an extra 26 ponies, for a total system output of 99 horsepower. Along with the 53-mpg highway rating, the C will return 46 mpg in the city.
Weekly Recap: An '80s encore in the auto world
Sat, Jul 11 2015The '80s returned in a big way this week, as National Lampoon's, Ghostbusters, Miami Vice, and even Tetris were back in the news. While there were far more serious topics (see below), nostalgia mingled with modern marketing to put these Reagan-era favorites back in the spotlight. The '80s were alternately cold and corny at times, but their cultural touchstones can still generate big money. That's why Infiniti recreated an iconic scene from National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) for an advertisement that hawks the QX60 crossover. Actor Ethan Embry, who played Rusty Griswold in a later Lampoon's movie, pilots the Infiniti – which is serving as a modern Family Truckster – for a trip to Walley World. A blonde pulls alongside in a red Lamborghini. They flirt, and she drives on. Christie Brinkley, who played the original girl in the red sports car (she drove a Ferrari in the '83 flick), is riding shotgun and chides Embry with: "A blonde. In a convertible. Seriously?" Okay, it's hardly on the level of "here's looking at you," or even "you can't handle the truth," but it should resonate with '80s babies, many of whom are now having children of their own and moving into three-row SUVs like the QX60. Naturally, Hollywood is going back to the well, too, with a Vacation remake that premiers July 29. Meanwhile, Ghostbusters is returning next year, and director Paul Feig offered a peak at the new Eco-1 in this tweet. In the 1984 classic, the team drove a modified 1959 Cadillac. Now, it will drive a late '80s Cadillac. As expected, the announcement generated support and controversy from movie and car enthusiasts. His tweet had generated several thousand retweets and favorites in the days following the news. Though the '80s Caddy looks, uh, less elegant in comparison to the now-iconic fins and curves of the original Ecto-1, it's about the same time lapse into the past as the '59 Caddy was to viewers in 1984. Speaking of 1984, Miami Vice, which debuted that year on NBC, is seeing one of its hero cars hit the auction block, Mecum Auctions announced this week. The 1986 Ferrari used on the show will be offered for sale Aug. 15 during Monterey classic car week. The white supercar runs a 390-hp flat 12-cylinder engine paired with a five-speed manual transmission and was in storage after the show ended in 1989 until earlier this year. It has 16,124 miles on the odometer and is authenticated by Ferrari North America and Classiche.
