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. |

No diesels in the running for 2016 Green Car Of The Year
Thu, Oct 15 2015It's a new era for the Green Car Of The Year. In the past, the theme of the award was to take a broad look at alternative powertrains and pick the best among them. "Clean diesels" from the Volkswagen group were often among the finalists and won the award twice. For the 2016 edition - which will be handed out at the LA Auto Show next month - not a single diesel made the list. There's little wonder why. Green Car Journal, which names the winner with a panel of experts, had to strip two VW brand vehicles of their past wins. The 2009 VW Jetta TDI, which won in 2008, and the 2010 Audi A3 TDI, which won in 2010, have both lost their titles now that the world knows about the "defeat devices" that VW installed in many of its TDI vehicles around the world. So, what does that leave us with for 2016? Two plug ins, a hybrid, and two gas vehicles. The two electric vehicle are the Audi A3 e-tron and the Chevy Volt, while the all-new Toyota Prius (which will come with a plug-in version later) is the lone pure hybrid. Rounding out the pack are two efficient gas models: the Hyundai Sonata and the Honda Civic. This is the tenth year for the Green Car Of The Year, and it will be interesting to see if diesels can come back into the award's good graces (for the record, no diesels were among the finalists in 2013, either) in the future. For now, we'd like to know who you think should win. You can read more about the finalists in the press release below and then cast your vote in our poll. Show full PR text FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2016 GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR Green Car Journal to Reveal Winner of 11th Annual Award at LA Auto Show Press & Trade Days, November 19 LOS ANGELES, CA (October 15, 2015) – Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's prestigious 2016 Green Car of the Year® award. The 2016 models include the Audi A3 e-tron, Chevrolet Volt, Honda Civic, Hyundai Sonata, and Toyota Prius. An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the Year® program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the LA Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.
Toyota confirms C-HR crossover to debut at Geneva
Tue, Oct 20 2015With the compact crossover segment booming with new entries, Toyota soon intends to burst into the popular market with a production version of the C-HR concept. The rakishly styled, little CUV will show off its final face at the 2016 Geneva Motor Show next March, and European sales will start before summer, Autocar reports. Customers in the US will likely get to drive the angular model, too. The C-HR concept's chiseled shape is expected to make the transition to the road largely unaltered. According to Autocar, customers reportedly really dig the razor-sharp look versus a more conventional CUV design. A hybrid is also expected to be included in the production powertrain lineup, but non-electrified options could be available, too. The Japanese automaker last displayed the C-HR at this year's Frankfurt Motor Show. Underneath the avant-garde shape, the Toyota New Global Architecture provided the underpinnings, and a hybrid powertrain was there for propulsion. The concept's general design idea was actually the revival of a three-door crossover from the 2014 Paris Motor Show. In addition, the production C-HR is expected eventually to arrive in the US but likely wearing a Scion badge. Spy shots highly suggest that a crossover is already under development, and the entry would give the division a much-needed challenger to the Nissan Juke, Honda HR-V, Mazda CX-3, and plenty of others. Plus, the brand is keeping it absolutely no secret that a third, new model is on way to join the iA and iM.
Toyota Hilux gets heart transplant from Lexus IS F
Thu, Sep 10 2015The Toyota Hilux might not be sold in the US, but Toyota's venerable pickup has an international reputation of being able to go anywhere and do just about anything. The trucks aren't really known for their speed, though, at least until Toyota South Africa Motorsport's new, one-off project. This bruiser ditches the usual diesel engine and replaces it with an unrestricted 5.0-liter V8 from a Lexus IS F making 449 horsepower. Of course, it takes more than power to handle the rigors of high speed off-roading. The motorsport team also adds bigger, competition-spec brakes, fully adjustable dampers, new springs, and retuned gearing to make the truck look practically ready for the Dakar Rally. The gearbox is really the only part that carries over. The V8 gives the special Hilux quite a mean growl, too. With the new Tacoma just launching in the US, maybe the engineers at TRD need to apply this same concept over here for its own Lexus-engined, one-off pickup.
